Authentic Haitian fritay, oxtails, griot, and breakfast
"If you want to eat Haitian food that’s as tasty as it is filling, head to Lawndale’s Fritay Lakay. Open as early as 8:30am daily, start your day with a plantain porridge, a yam mash mixed with nuts and dried fruit, or breakfast spaghetti that tosses in bell peppers, onions, and sausage in a tomato sauce. On days when it’s so cold that going outside is offensive, go for the bouillon. It’s a stew that blends thick cuts of beef with carrots, noodles, and plantains, and feels like a complete, hearty meal in one bowl." - candis mclean
"If you want to eat Haitian food that’s tasty but also bound to have you reaching for a blanket and pillow after your last bite, head to Lawndale’s Fritay Lakay. Open as early as 8:30am daily, start your day with a plantain porridge, a yam mash mixed with nuts and dried fruit, or breakfast spaghetti that tosses in bell peppers, onions, and sausage in a tomato sauce. On days where it’s cold enough that you’d need Gritty’s fur to keep you warm, go for the bouillon. It’s a stew that blends thick cuts of beef with carrots, noodles, plantains, and a broth that’ll fill you with more warmth than that blanket and pillow combo ever could. " - candis mclean
"It’s a Haitian restaurant where you really go for fritay — the style of frying a ton of food — and I always get the plantains, griot (fried pork chunks), and a side of pikliz (spicy, fermented coleslaw)." - Maddy Sweitzer-Lamme

"Chef Chris Paul’s pop-up Lakay offers Haitian pikliz—spicy pickled vegetables served alongside traditional Haitian dishes—and a line of homemade products including Ti Malice hot sauce and pineapple habanero sauce that can be picked up locally." - Dayna Evans
