Comfort Classics Reimagined.
Built by a family rooted in this community for over 2 decades, Favorites brings a French-trained palate and a scratch kitchen to Bank Street, where the menu feels familiar and lands somewhere new.
Scratch Kitchen. Global Palate
The kitchen starts from zero every morning, braising short rib, battering chicken, mixing dough for biscuit sliders by hand, and pulling from French technique and Caribbean seasoning until Comfort food earns the word "scratch".
From the Kitchen
Your Go-To Lunch Spot
A lunch break where you walk in, order the Rasta Pasta or the Orange Chicken TAcos, and walk out 30 minutes later, already knowing what you are getting next time.
Catering That Shows Up Ready
Office lunches, team events, holiday gatherings, and any spread where you need food people finish and ask about. Scratch-built, packed right, and delivered so the host gets to sit down and
eat.
Private Events, Handled
Corporate lunches, holiday gatherings, and intimate buyouts for up to 60 guests. A waterfront setting on Bank Street, a full bar, and a kitchen that caters on-site so the host gets to sit down and eat.

What our guests are saying
We chose this spot for my mom’s bday brunch and I am so happy we did. The food was AMAZING! The service was just as amazing. The vibe was right! Everything we ordered was very delicious and so well presented. I highly recommend this place. We will be coming back to try more items from the menu. Btw if you want some house made chicken and waffles, this is your spot. You have to try them out.

We are always on the lookout for something different and heard about a new Haitian restaurant and had to try it. The food was fantastic! The staff, super friendly, and you could see they took pride in what they did. This is a definite MUST TRY. Definitely try the oxtails, short ribs, or Fritay. BU.

Incredible restaurant!! I went there for brunch with my sister. Food is phenomenal. We had oxtail and grits; and the short rib benedict. For drinks, we had the Passion and Parcha, and the Nutella Kiss which is to die for.
