"Chef Creole's menu isn't all exclusively Haitian, but it's the first name that comes to mind when many Miamians think of Haitian food. It's more of a general Caribbean American restaurant, and it's one of the best places to take in the wide selection of regional staples Miami does so well. The menu has Haitian classics like griot and ke bèf, but it also features great grilled conch. There are currently five Chef Creole locations in South Florida—including one inside the Miami airport—but our favorite is in Little Haiti, because there’s an outdoor tiki hut. Take your container of food, grab a Prestige beer, find a table, and sway to the kompa music playing overhead while you munch on bannann peze." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo
