Having dined on a somewhat extensive selection of Resto's Belgian fare, I hardly had room for dessert. But the perfection coaxed from all things fried throughout our dinner courses rendered me unable to deny the beignets that I saw listed on the dessert menu.
When the beignets arrived, I was not disappointed. They came lightly fried in a charming little paper bag, dusted with sugar as opposed to confectioner's sugar. Presentation aside, they were hot and airy inside with a toothsome crust. The sugar dusting added a little sweetness. The dipping sauces were, clockwise from the left, a berry compote (blueberry), a caramel sauce and a chocolate sauce. Surprisingly the blueberry compote might have been my least favorite. The creamy caramel sauce and the rich chocolate sauce were all but finished when I was done with the beignets.
If you aren't sure about Belgian food, though you need not have any worries because Resto delivers, there is a bar where you can sit and enjoy a drink with an order of these delicious beignets. Try the seasonal Apple & Cinnamon made with Hudson Valley Apple Vodka and cinnamon infused simple syrup.
