"Toussaint’s menu includes such Hatitian favorites as poisson entier frit (whole fried fish) and poulet à la noix de cajou, a traditional dish in the Cap-Haitien that consists of sautéed chicken and cashews. The lambi ak riz djon djon is a rich and citrusy stew of tender conch with earthy, savory Haitian rice made with dried black mushrooms from the Artibonite Valley (a.k.a. the truffles of Haiti) that go by the same name. Another highlight is Toussaint’s pain patate, a classic dessert made with white sweet potato and four spice. Here the gooey cake is covered with a sugar-cane syrup, macerated raisins, and a heavy dose of powdered sugar and whipped cream. It’s killer." - ByTerence Trouillot
