La Tranquilite L’Impressioniste Restaurant

If you’re in the mood for some «home cooked» Haitian cuisine, this is the place to go. You get good tasting, large portions for a more than reasonable price. I had 1 order of griot for $ 8 that can easily feed 2 people. The one complaint that I do have is that they always give a lot of rice compared to the meat… The rice is good though. Even though they have a dining area I always get takeout. If you do decide to go there to dine, it’s a casual setting so you don’t have to get dressed up or anything.

A staple in our household. We always get our Haitian food from here. It is the best. The wait is long even if u call ahead but it is worth it every time.

Is a nice place for lunch the chicken is ok the sauce is wonderful
Is a nice quite place for lunch I will come back to try something different. I try chicken this time

My review is based on my phone call. What a bunch of pigs. They are just rude and nasty

I’ve been getting from La Tranquilite for years. The food is consistently good quality. Can always count on them for decent haitain food.

Excellent food! Called in advance and was told that the goat meat for the tassot (fried goat) was being boiled but that the meat would be done in an hour or so. True to their word the tassot was ready in an hour and was fried to perfection-​and this is coming from an Haitienne. Rice was cooked well, sauce pois, piklise was fresh, salad was cool. Huge portion for $ 10.00-two people can easily share. Best Haitian food I’ve had since Chez Clotilde closed on Clarendon a few years ago.

I had a bad experience just calling to order ahead for take out. The counter person/​owner was rude on the phone and continued to be rude in person. The food was only so-​so. Maybe was a bad day in that place since the owner seemed to be more interested in complaining about her toiling for 8 years than my getting my order. You take your chance.

Reliable take out, on the weekends give them ample time to deliver.
I’m not into rice like that and they serve a mountain of rice with the entrées. Food is fresh and decent portions for the reasonable prices. One entrée feeds two sometimes three.
Love the summer fruit juices, soursop, grenadia, lemonade, papaya au lair, really fresh natural tropical fruit juices love the watermelon juice, just how I would make it at home.
They stay open pretty late too for that good Haitian food fix.

This place has a bustling take-​out business and a quiet dining room. We had a wonderful meal here, which included a beef stew, a fish stew, Haitian rice. The service was very welcoming and justly proud of the food they were serving. Highly recommended if you’re anywhere near the area and want to try a fascinating cuisine with African, French, and indigenous roots.

Great place for real Haitian food. No need to cook all the time with this wonderful restaurant around the corner. Thumbs up from me…

The food is good
However they don’t have AC so I wouldn’t suggest for u to eat in and they are extremely extremely slow I place an order for 2 meals and had to wait 45 minutes which is a long time for something that should be already cooked or pre cooked
The plantains were not so good but everything else was fine
The picklese was very hot which I loved
Oh and they need to improve on the side salad but I guess since it’s free you can’t ask for much

The toughest critics of food from a given area are people from that area, that lived in that area, dated someone from that area, essentially someone who knows what authentic tastes like. Well thats me with Haitian food, I know what some good Haitian food tastes like and this is it! I went the 1^st time with a fellow Haitian when we were in the neighborhood. We were skeptical cause it was late and when we called we were told they’re open till the food runs out. Now if you know say… Jamaican places. they run out of food early so we’re like «hmm why do they still have food at 11pm??» We made our way over there find this cute like spot with a walk up window to order and off to the side a nice seating area if you want to eat in. We notice the sign that states expect about a 20 minute wait to get your food… aha! that’s why they haven’t run out of anything, they make a lot of the food to order! I was already in love. I ordered the cabrit, he ordered the fritaille and we admired the artwork on the wall while we waited. We got our food in the expected 20 minutes and our greedy selves hopped in the car, drove around the corner, parked and feasted. OMFG the food was soooo good, everything was perfection, the pikliz was phenomenal, the cabrit was seasoned and cooked perfectly, his fritaille was on point. I came again recently except I called ahead and I was in and out in 3 minutes only cause there was a line. They’re cash only which I hate but I’m willing to carry cash for them. Besides the food the service is great, the 1^st time I went my friend ordered cause he speaks creole fluently, when I went solo I appreciated that they didn’t act like they didn’t know what I was talking about as I spoke english and my broken creole. They’ve definitely earned a place on my caribbean food line up

Great food. If you planning to order food to go, call in before arriving to the restaurant, so it can be an in & out process. If you go there without ordering, the wait time is about 20 mins, so view the menu photo prior in going there.
I tried other restaurants near by and they are how I can say nicely, ‘selfish, lazy or rip off’, but this place haven’t disappoint me yet. That is a very good sign regarding that alone.
Their portions are quite large for which you can share with a second person. If you plan, to eat this solo, then your new years resolution will be to go on a strict diet. :-)
Bön appétit
