"After a successful five years running their Haitian food truck, expats Frantz Felix and his wife Guerline opened a restaurant in 2019. They specialize in Haiti’s national dish: rice and beans with griot, spicy pork seasoned with Scotch bonnet peppers, lemon, and vinegar — or fried goat if you prefer. Round out your plate with a side of accra, a starchy root similar to yucca; pikliz, the fermented shredded cabbage salad; and sweet or savory banane pesées, or plantains. Pair it all with a vanilla lemonade, mango juice, or a local IPA. Felix wishes the pandemic hadn’t made it impossible to import Haiti’s Prestige beer; for now Red Stripe will have to do." - Maria C.
