“Super casual restaurant with excellent food. This was my first time visiting Florida in over 15 years. So I had to get some Haitian food. This place didn't disappoint at all. The food was hot and fresh. The portions were over-sized in my opinion. Lot's of food if you're a heavy eater. So no complaints from me. I had the Snapper and ot was marinated to perfection!. The rice was good too. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal. 10 out of 10 totally recommend!!“

“It’s hard for a place to get five stars, but the service took it over the top. Haitian businesses can be known for poor customer service, but everyone understood the importance of customer service. The bathroom was clean. The food was great. The hot sauce sold there is yummy. We all left feeling good. The atmosphere is nice and relaxed.“

“The food here is absolutely AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS. I had the fried snapper and omg you can tell the fish was cleaned very well and seasoned to perfection. The rice, the pate, akra was sooo bomb! It was my first time here and I’m DEFINITELY coming back. Ang was amazing and helpful. She was the
Bomb.com. The vibe of this place is so authentic PLEASE try the food, you’ll love it. And if u like fish, TRY THE RED SNAPPER PLATE!!! I’ve heard the seafood legumes were amazing by a passerby, but I haven’t tried that, that will be my next order when I go…or the snapper cuz it was sooo bomb 🤤 either way I’m going back. THANK YOU ANG, you’re the BEST!!! ❤️ 🥰 ☺️ 😊“

“This has quickly become a weekly stop for me. I do outside sales so I’m always on the go and St. Hilaire never fails to deliver tasty bites in a hurry. For $8 you get a decent plate of fried wings and banan, with a side of pilkliz of course.. hard to beat! Patties are good too especially if you just need a quick snack!“

“The food was excellent. I ordered the stewed goat with black rice it came with fried plantains And white sweet potato, I never knew that goat could be so tender. The food was seasoned well and the portions were large I recommend and I will be going back again“

“I had heard incredible things about this place and have been super intrigued especially because of the large Haitian community in Miami.All is to say, when I walked in I felt welcomed with open arms by other customers and the owner, Luna.This place is not fancy, but if taste and flavor is most important to you as it is for me, than this is a MUST TRY.I got the Stewed Turkey which was to die for. Luna also brought out a sample plate for me to try the fried Turkey which was out of this world. I can’t wait to come back soon!“

“Yum!!! We were excited to try Haitian food after trying Cuban food. I prefer the Haitian food as it was good for the first helping and excellent the next day. We got so much chicken and legume from this wonderful takeout restaurant that we had enough for dinner, breakfast, and then lunch on the plane to Puerto Rico! I made the mistake of ordering legume thinking it would be beans but it was not a bad mistake as it was an amazing stew. Loved the boiled plantains and the rice is incredible. Loved the meat spices that are subtle and the lack of salt which I felt the Cuban food was way too salt forward though had more depth of flavor. The neighborhood and the place might look sketchy but you don’t need to worry at all! I highly recommend you try the food here.“

“I was in the area, googled Haitian food, went there, had stewed turkey- rice & peas. Loved it. Nice family owned place! I was very happy when I saw an older lady come walking out the back to go home. Probably the grandma cooking.“

“I come here all the time to get griot and rice beans with fried plantains and its always hot fresh and delicious. Plus i love that they give a good amount of griot for an affordable price compared to other Haitian restaurants. The restaurant itself is a hole in the wall but those are where you get the best food! Definitely recommend“

“The food was delicious. We ordered the spinach and Lima beans, with a side of collard greens and Pikliz. The oxtail with rice and beans. The meatball with a side of bulgur and spinach. Fried chicken, fried plantains and rice. Everything was amazing. I don’t have a picture of the oxtail, it was devoured in seconds. You Must try everything, it’s incredible. The packaging is like thin cardboard, so if you got anything wet, you best hurry, cause it’s going to leak through.“

“I haven’t been to this place in at least 7 years. I came back from New York and the quality is still the same. I didn’t get a chance to take a pic because I was too busy eating the food. The plantains were crispy and fresh. The oil was clean and the fried chicken doesn’t have a weird aftertaste. What’s the secret to keeping the plantains crispy for so long?“

“Best tasting Haitian cuisine in all of South Florida. If you haven't yet please please order a plate or two or five like I do for my family on the weekends. Food is amazing, service is great. And the artwork while you wait is unmatched. Thank you for serving the neighborhood what we need in our mouths. Good quality food. You'll have my service FOR LIFE 🙏🏿.....“

“This small Haitian spot is takeout-only. All orders take about 25-30 minutes, which is good because you know it’s freshly prepared, but consider calling in advance if you don’t want to wait. While there’s no ambience, there’s chairs to wait in, and the staff is friendly and helped me pick out a variety to try. The spicing and preparation were good, but a bit salty for my (non-Haitian) palette. Overall I’d love to come back to try the rest of the menu when I’m back in the area.

Parking: A handful of spots are available by pulling into the driveway in front of the building. This is directly off of a fairly busy road without street parking.“

“Michelle is very nice and very fast.“

“Carnival weekend , great flag night“

“I'm visiting Miami and wanted authentic Haitian food. My uber driver, who was Haitian, recommended this spot and honestly, I had no appetite in Miami due to the weather until now. This griot plate had phenomenal portions (eating it for two meals) and it was all flavorful. The service was amazing, everyone in the restaurant was so kind and friendly.“

“Stopped by here on my way back to Tampa. The griot was honestly the best thing I had. The legume was not what I expected, but it was good. Service was ok and our food came out promptly. The rice and peas was ok as well. The bathroom was not the best and had no soap to wash hands. Overall I would return for the griot. It was crispy, juicy and well seasoned. Serving size was also fantastic. One plate could feed you for a few days. With some minor changes, this place would be top tier.“

“My boyfriend Jeffrey and I needed some late night food so we wanted to try this restaurant out. The plantains were the best I’ve ever had (try dipping them in the beans and you might just cry). The chicken was Chrispy yet juicy and falling off the bone. So good. Thank you to the friendly staff! <3“

“I visited Le Jardin Haitian Restaurant and really enjoyed the experience. The atmosphere felt warm and inviting, with a strong sense of authentic Haitian culture. I tried a traditional dish, and the flavors were bold, rich, and clearly made with care. The staff were friendly and attentive, making sure everything was just right. Portions were generous, and the overall value was great. It’s a spot I’d definitely recommend for something unique and satisfying.“

“The place is no longer Lumiere Restaurant. It's now call Fritay Kreole Restaurant. They serve Fry Food and other Haitian food. The food is great extraordinary exceptional. The environment is wonderful and pleasant to spend time with friends and family.“

“It gave everything that needed to be given. I had the Montego Bay shrimp and cabbage. It was amazing and flavorful. I will definitely come here again and recommend it to anyone I know coming to Miami!!!“

“Honestly, if I had to give it a score on a scale of 1 to 10, it would be a 9. The lady was super friendly, the food was freshly made and cooked well. I ordered the chicken special with French fries and everything was delicious, a very good price. The only thing I kind of complain about is that the wait times are long, but there was only one person doing everything, so it's understandable.“

“Delicious food , friendly staff and the service is really fast“

“10000/10 so consistent, the food never changes and it’s good every time. I love this place it’s the best Haitian restaurant ever! I’m not Haitian but I love this place. The customer service could be a bit better they’ve forgotten plantains/sos pwa a few times but overall they have amazing food.“

“Nice relaxed atmosphere, real different vibe from the average Haitian restaurants. Customer service was great & price on the menu was real reasonable. Will definitely go back to support. (BTW, some of the best live Haitian band holds concerts there between times )“

“Great customer services the food is delicious and they improving by coming up with new ideas it’s definitely a win win“

“We wanted traditional Haitian/Caribbean food and this place has it. You know this when everyone in the place (except us) were from the Caribbean. Everything is so good! I had the Mixed Veggies, which is a kind of stew made with meat bones. My husband had the fried chicken. Both come with plantains and rice. We had the black rice, a first to us, and it’s really good.“
