"Chef Creole doesn’t call itself a Haitian restaurant, but rather a Creole restaurant, and they don't only have Haitian dishes on their menu. You can also come here for Bahamian-inspired conch fritters, along with fried, grilled, and stewed seafood dishes. While all the seafood dishes here are good, the standout is the grilled conch—something that’s unique to Chef Creole. They marinate the conch in a Haitian-inspired seasoning before grilling it. The result is lightly charred, just a bit smokey, and the perfect balance between firm and tender. There are Chef Creole locations around Miami (and even in the airport) but the one on 54th Street is our favorite because it has a drive-thru and a little tiki hut you can sit and eat in." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo, mariana trabanino, carlos c olaechea
