Now I feel soooo bad that I didn't snap a photo of how delightful a sight this food was, because I got lost in how delightful this food tasted 😆😂. I came back 2 days in a row omg where do I start?
1st off I got the sospwa "bean sauce" drenched over the Haitian rice which btw tastes literally like no rice I've ever tasted in my 32 years of being on Earth. I've had brown 🍚🌾 rice, I've had rice a Roni, I've had arroz and frijoles, I've had Chinese beef fried rice, I've had rice pudding, I've basmati rice and tika masala rice
I've had rice glass noodles and let me tell you... THIS HAITIAN RICE I tasted here!? Omg mwah 😘!!!
The texture, the softness, the mild tenderness, the ever so slight dab of moisure oily glaze it has 😋 🤤 and then this seasoned bean sauce?! Like whaaaat? You can eat this alone without even getting the full meals like the salmon and chicken and be satisfied bc they give nice portions for your price.
I had plantain and I wouldn't even have known it was plantain had they not told me bc it looked so golden and crispy but soft and tender like a fish filet that when I added this spicy Haitian topping called "peclez" I was in Haitian food heaven.
And let me not get started on the customer service. I was greeted by nothing but GENUINE warm smiles and love from the kind lady. The kind fellow and the other kind lady whom couldn't speak much English but she made me want to learn Creole how patient she was with me and still treated me kindly as she happily went to the kitchen and her herself made my meal and brought it out to me when no one else in the food court brings out your meal to you.
Go here and see for yourself! If you guys are reading this I was the black guy with the cool shades and my son! We are from Chicago and I told you I'd leave a review! You guys are the real...
Read moreI drove an hour to visit this Bistro following the recommendations of a friend who raved about it. It sits in a convenient location near the attractions and outlets with plenty of parking. Let me go straight to the point! I came as a stranger and left as family! Lol seriously. The owners are downtown earth, friendly, up for a great conversation. I ordered the 'tasso de bœuf"(fried seasoned beef)- it was lean, all meat, flavorful and tender. As you chew and swallow, there is a pleasant after-taste that lingers throughout the meal... I also ordered the fried whole red snapper, for my mom! Ooowey!! Fresh, light, tasty, crispy... not fishy at all!! They have over 6 or so selection of sides to pick from. I chose the Haitian rice and beans, with the fried plantains! I have had many types of rice, but nobody cooks rice like Haitians do!! The way the flavors and textures blend in your mouth... Dude ( and Dudette), you have to try it! I was pleasantly surprised to receive my order within 15 minutes!! Tip- While you are waiting... Order the plantain (tostones) bruschetta...(fried plantain, topped with avocado and tomato and drzzled with a special sauce! A taste of heaven. Lol Yes! I would definitely recommend "Le...
Read moreAfter a long shopping day, we decided to go to the food court. We decided to give this place a try because the pictures of their food were not only inviting but were also an opportunity to try a new cuisine.
The owner was extremely friendly and answered all our questions regarding the food patiently. You can tell this food was made with love, care and passion for their culture. The food was extremely flavoursome and delicious.
I had the plantain bruschetta which was very uniquely pleasant and clearly made with fresh ingredients and the fish filet/burger which wasn't oily as most fish burgers tend to be and the tartar sauce was a perfect balance of flavours. My mom had the fried chicken with Haitian rice that came with their version of spicy coleslaw and in her words "the best fried chicken I've had in a long time" and "the gravy was sublime". He even gave a sample of their white rice and black beans as my mom was reluctant to have white rice as it tends to be plain - but not from this place. The white rice was flavoursome, especially when mixed with the gravy and beans.
Genuinely a must have - good value for money and a wonderful experience both taste-wise and...
