This is my favorite Haitian restaurant in South Florida. When I first moved here 5yrs ago, I was unpacking one evening and realized I hadn't eaten. Being new to the area, I wasn't sure if anything was open, so I just did a search for what was open nearby. This restaurant was the closest, so I went and ordered a whole fried fish dinner. It was incredible! What I got was not just a delicious late night meal, but a new favorite restaurant. I don't live near the restaurant anymore, but I still drive over there when I want Haitian food. I bring all my friends and family who visit from out of town here to eat, and they love it too. The quality of food and friendly service has never decreased over the years. I recently picked up some of my same favorite dishes in family-sized portions to take to Thanksgiving dinner. Needless to say, my family was very pleased. As long as they're open, I will always be a paying customer. 😋
This is the best soup jo mou I have had. It's wasn't watered down and over oily.
Taste great and rich.
Are you looking for a Haitian restaurant where you can finally sit, eat, and not leave with your clothes smelling like you work in the kitchen? La Gourmandize is where you should go. The atmosphere is welcoming, the location is meticulously clean, and the staff is incredibly friendly.
I actually was able to conduct a business meeting there today and not worry about if my client’s clothing was going to smell like “épice” (Haitian spice).
I ordered “fritay” (Hatitian sample platter). It had “akra” (fried-Haitian-finger-food), “bannann pézé” (fried plantains), “griot” (fried pork), and a side salad. You probably thought I forgot about the “Pikliz” (Haitian hot sauce)? It was some of the freshest servings of pikliz I’ve had. Although it was a fried food platter, the serving wasn’t drenched in oil. The Akra and bannann pézé were crispy, not overcooked, and well seasoned. The griot was well prepared, soft, and well spiced.
I highly recommended this place if you’re in the mood for some authentic Haitian cuisine.
