16 Great Black-Owned Restaurants In New Orleans 2024
"The biggest Haitian celebrity might be Wyclef Jean, but we’d like to start a petition to change that to Fritai (and yes, we think this restaurant qualifies as a celebrity). They really rep the island hard with a flag outside, bright decor, kompa music, and amazing passion fruit wings, plantain sandwiches with fried pork and spicy pikliz, and smothered greens. They did all these dishes when they were a pop-up at St. Roch Market, but at their new Treme corner spot, they also have delicious plates of goat and grilled shrimp to love. The cocktails are like none other in the city, using spirits and juices straight from Haiti and other parts of the Caribbean. Try a clarin flight and have a Kremas coconut rum punch for dessert." - megan braden perry
