Tried the griot, black rice, rice and beans and pressed plantain. The griot was fresh and very…read moretender. The black rice could've had more flavor. The rice and beans were flavorful and the rice was cooked perfectly. I could've had two orders of the plantains. They were fried just right. The few times I've been, you can tell they know when to change their grease.

I called this resturaunt at 9:25PM yesterday and asked what time they close. They said they close…read moreat 10 PM and I said i was on my way but I was going to call back at 9:35 once I got my family's order together which was going to be over $200. I called back 3 times at 9:35 and they didn't answer. I proceed to drive to Le Chic and I arrived at 9:47. They refused to take my order because the person in the back no longer wanted to cook. They wouldn't serve me or another patron. I asked to speak to the owner because your employees were turning down orders and they stated he wasn't in. It was my first time at the establishment and I will never return.

First time trying Haitian food and it was so good I can't stop thinking about it. The stew was so…read morewell flavored and so hearty and filling, I even had leftovers. The rice was to die for as it was flavored, texture amazing and such a good amount again of everything. The drink was oh my god, so strong lol! You really only need one to two and you'd be set for a good time. Great food for a first time experience and our waitress was kind and informative too! Cute establishment with nice digital menus.

I don't eat meat so it's not 100% fair to review this restaurant as such. Items were limited but…read morethey were good, I liked the Caribbean cabbage with the pigeon rice and the black rice. The sweet plantains were also nice. This is place is located right next to Funky Buddha facing the street. My dining friend had the jerk chicken and he gobbled down that bad boy. For him it was a 4 star experience. Please keep in mind that some items will be already prepared buffet style so you won't get 100% fresh but close enough. The staff was very friendly and efficient, my waiter even ran out and gave me my card that I had left on the table, how good is that? They have a rather extensive menu. Would love to see legume with vegetables only. The restaurant is rather large with a bar area. Food portions were generous, pricing was not. Thanks for a nice dinner.

Piman cafe is somewhat rundown but the food isn't. The sign saying "Piman", above the front is…read morefaded. And since it isn't electric you can't really see it. The area to order had fliers for CDP lisences and other ads. The four sit down tables weren't super clean but had a nice fake plant. I wasn't the typical demographic. We waited in line about 5-10 minutes, although there's not a lot of space for a line. The electronic menus inside don't work and we just guess based on a Yelp picture of a menu. The person said it would be about 15 minutes. After about 20 minutes we got our food and paid. There was a line to order and the phone kept ringing the whole time we were there. Also people talk on their phones loudly here. We got the stewed turkey, large. $10 And the fried pork. $12 Both with rice and beans. Both were pretty good and large for the price. The plantains were almost like hash browns. The turkey was almost in a curry but different. The sauce was also great for the rice and beans Based on the food quality and portion size, the rest of the business doesn't need to be a priority since they have quality food and lots of customers. Ideal place to get food delivered from or call ahead.

What a great find for Haitian food, in a completely unlikely location. The food is fantastic and…read moreobviously prepared by a great cook. I had the turkey stew with beans, and a side of plantains. It was cooked and seasoned to perfection, with a huge portion. Plantains were crispy and perfect too. The family-run nature of the place is authentic and adds to the "what a great find" feeling. Oh, and cheap Joe's favorite part? A full restaurant meal is roughly $7! The divey ambience of the place is part of it's charm and uniqueness. First off, I was the only non-Haitian-Creole speaker in the place. The owner said "can I help you?" (I think meaning "you must be lost or something?") when I walked in...when I laughed and said I liked Haitian food, she laughed too. It's in an unlikely location (a slightly run-down tiny strip of Haitian specialty stores across from a 7-11 and near a very large gay leather bar). Truth be told, I came in because her place is always mobbed by Haitian-Americans, inside and out. Definitely they come here for the fantastic food. The parking lot is always filled, for a reason. What really made it a fun experience was Verna, who seemed to be the owner. She taught me a little Haitian Creole, which sounds a lot like Quebec Street French. Just a warm-hearted owner, with a fun place and great food.

I haven't had a lot of Haitian food before, so I wanted to give Pearl of the Island a shot as I…read moreheard it was good. The ambiance is that of a fast casual restaurant with and order counter and tables lining the outer perimeter of the restaurant. There are TVs playing as well. The service wasn't particularly friendly, the two ladies up front seemed more interested in chatting than helping me with the menu. The lunch special came with a soda but they do not offer diet soda and they will not substitute bottled water. I walked in for pickup, and the two lunches probably took 15-20 minutes to be prepared. My husband got the griot, which was flavorful but dry. I got the stewed chicken which was slightly overcooked and underseasoned. I did enjoy the fried smashed plantains, but the rice and beans tasted weirdly ashy? We barely touched those. The pikliz was only ok. Overall, I would not return as I was disappointed.

Pearl of the Island in Margate is a hidden gem for authentic Haitian food. The portions are…read moregenerous and the flavors are rich, fresh, and absolutely delicious. Everything tasted well seasoned and made with care. My o ly issue was the macaroni was sooo cold, as if they didn't even bother to warm it up and the griot was really dry. Overall, If you are looking for great Haitian cuisine that leaves you full and somewhat satisfied, this spot is definitely worth a visit.
