La Tranquilite L’Impressioniste Restaurant (CLOSED)

This cheerful little Canarsie spot is best for diners who are hungry yet (somehow) also patient. Plates come loaded up with rice, and though they take their time exiting the kitchen, they are well worth the wait. The specialties include fritaille, which refers to a variety of fried foods such as accra, fritters made from a taro-like tuber called malanga, in addition to the classic griot (pork).
