📍 2311 W Howard St, Chicago, IL 60645

Kizin Creole Restaurant has kept Howard Street's Haitian food tradition alive since 2013, when owner Daniel Desir opened it in the space left behind by the shuttered Chez Violette — a direct succession that kept the block from losing its only Haitian kitchen entirely.

The menu runs deep into the cuisine's real range: stewed oxtails, goat, griyo (fried pork), a joute leaf stew, plus bannann peze, rice and beans, and soup joumou for anyone wanting the full Creole spread rather than a single signature dish.

It's BYOB and closed Mondays — a genuine rarity worth seeking out specifically for the cuisine, not easy to find elsewhere in the city.
