The Best Restaurants In North Philly - Philadelphia - The Infatuation
"Gou is the best Haitian restaurant in Philly. This Olney spot is where you go for classics like pwason fri and fluffy black rice, as well as rasta pasta with grilled shrimp. The BYOB has lots of large wooden tables, so it’s an easy place to walk in with a few friends at the last minute, pass around some wine, and eat big pieces of oxtail. While there are lots of dishes on the menu, the griot is the clear highlight. The tender braised bits of pork have a lemony flavor, giving it a nice blend of salt and citrus. Since they close at 10pm, it’s a good solution after bar-hopping or after being sucked into the Phillies game and realizing you have nothing to eat at 8pm." - candis mclean
