Zanmi

With a name that means "friends" in Haitian Creole, this spot is fittingly warm and welcoming. It is also located in an area known to some as "Little Caribbean" so if that doesn't transport folks to the islands, the enticing carte will certainly do the trick. The artistic façade is a thing of beauty, while the interior is simple and functional.
This kitchen team may be found preparing such venerable staples as the squash-based soup joumou, seasoned with epis and bobbing with vegetables. Pate kode features a unique twist on the empanada, stuffed with cod fish and served with pikliz; while kabrit boukkanen brings tender goat over mixed greens and an onion-pepper medley. Skip dessert and stick with the non-alcoholic sips for a bit of tropical fun.
