Oh my goodness!! It was probably because of the ignorance and violence towards Haiti and Haitian Americans as to why I never knew about Bon Appetit when still home. I have so many regrets because Haiti is pure magic and it comes through in the sweetness of the chef's hand at Bon Appetit. I haven't had snapper in years and let me tell you, I sucked this fish's bones dry. I love that they steam it to order! It was perfectly seasoned and beautifully laid in it's own styrofoam container (environmentalism could be employed here by cutting back on the styrofoam 😬) as to not sog the black rice. The black rice, of course, had my toes curling!! As I am not Haitian I don't know how much better it can get, especially in Boston, but my mother and I both left with cheesing. Well, she could have used more vegetable options with her vegan order and a larger portion of the cabbage served, which was perfectly cooked by the way- still crunchy!, I will def be returning when I find my way back cradling the border of Dorchester and Mattapan. Hold the fish tea though, there is way too much oil for my arteries.
I had the steamed snapper with black rice. My mother, a vegan, asked for black rice and veggies. Cabbage was the only veggie option which was sad. Why do we Caribbean folk hold back on eating our veggies 😣 Steamed Okra would have...

Read moreOK I took a friend here for her birthday the food is delicious now with every restaurant there are some days when the food might taste a little different maybe they ran out of a certain seasoning or had a replacement cook who knows.... but I can tell you by far as an African American brother who has eaten a lot of Haitian food this place is on point.. And as far as the price just because this restaurant is located in the community does not mean less quality...funny folks go downtown spent $100 for basic food and water down drinks and yet complain about the prices in the community stop it ... supporting our people means paying for quality... lord knows those 8.99 Chinese plates is not helping our health .. i rather pay for quality if you want cheap go to burger king or wendys ..HOWEVER IF YOU WANT QUALITY COME HERE... and my check was not that high compare to other places ...thank you for the staff that worked on friday dec 10th at night... to the owner the...
