Step into the World of Hot Rhythms and Rich Flavors of Haitian Cuisine!

Haiti, a country with a rich history and culture, is located in the heart of the Caribbean, sharing the island of Hispaniola with the neighboring Dominican Republic. It is a place where African traditions blend with French colonial heritage to create a unique and vibrant identity. From the colorful streets of the capital Port-au-Prince to the beautiful beaches and stunning mountains, Haiti is a country full of life and creativity.

Haitian cuisine is as strong and expressive as its culture. It is a mix of spicy and aromatic dishes that often feature meat, rice, beans, and root vegetables. Among the most famous specialties are griot (fried pork marinated in citrus), diri djon djon (rice cooked with black mushrooms that give it an unusual dark color and earthy flavor), and tassot (dried beef). We cannot forget pikliz, a spicy and crunchy pickled vegetable mix that is served with almost every meal.
