Boston-based personal blogger Vivian has released Part 3 of her ongoing series Boston on a Budget, spotlighting affordable dining options across the city. Her latest feature highlights Gourmet Kreyol, a Haitian restaurant offering a wide range of accessible lunch plates and customizable bowls that cater to diverse dietary needs.
From Tuesday to Saturday between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m., Gourmet Kreyol offers a build-your-own bowl lunch deal for $7.99, which includes a mini canned soda. The restaurant’s menu incorporates vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, and halal options, making it one of the more inclusive budget-friendly food stops in Boston.
Vivian’s visit showcased both the value and variety available. Her group ordered the Halal Stew Chicken with rice and beans for $7.99, the Fried Chicken with plantains for the same price, and a larger specialty plate featuring Stewed Turkey with Haitian Black Rice and Baked Mac and Cheese for $13.99, approximately double the portion size of the lunch deal. Each dish comes with pikliz, a traditional Haitian pickled vegetable mix that Vivian described as spicy, vinegary, and essential to every bite.
The blogger also noted the warm atmosphere inside the restaurant, where regulars enthusiastically vouched for the food, a detail she highlighted as a strong indicator of the establishment’s local reputation and community support.
Vivian’s Boston on a Budget series continues to spotlight affordable culinary experiences throughout the city, offering followers practical recommendations for high-quality, low-cost meals.
