"At nearly 50 years old, Le Foyer is a local institution for impossibly flaky Haitian patties filled with salted fish, chicken, or beef. According to the Bay State Banner, owner Edna Etienne poured her savings into start-up costs for the Mattapan bakery in the ‘70s, far before Haitian patties became a more regular sight around town. Now, Le Foyer is considered a pioneering force in Boston’s ever-growing Haitian dining scene." - Katie Draisen
