Haitian Restaurants in Miami, FL

“Authentic Haitian Food... Best Griot in Town..“

“Amazing haitian spot, food was 10/10, service was amazing, Gina was an amazing hostess, definitely recommend to come, I’m definitely coming back. It’s hard to find a good Haitian spot here down South of Miami Dade, and they are it.“

“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!!“

“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!“

“Carnival weekend , great flag night“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 )“

“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.“

“Todo, la comida sabrosa, el servicio excelente, ambiente familiar, lo recomiendo....“

“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.“

“I love this Haitian spot in my opinion the food here is always super good. Me and my boyfriend always come here because we crave it! The pikliz and plantains are my favorite. And every plate I’ve gotten I’ve liked. Definitely recommend! They usually always have people there waiting for their food orders because this place has became a popular favored spot for others as well. The chicken plate is the best! And portion sizes are really good.“

“Michelle is very nice and very fast.“

“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.“

“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.“

“1st, the location on Google map is incorrect. Its located on SE corner of 62nd & N.Miami Ave.Typical Haitian Bakery with decent Haitian pattys. The flavoring could be stronger but I do like it better than Jamaican pattys due to the crust. ???“

“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!!!“

“There is so much history all around us if we pay attention. A great way to learn more about the history of Florida is from these blue historic markers you can find all around the state. I discovered this one in Little Haiti at the Marketplace, part of the Little Haiti Cultural Complex, the center of artistic life in this historic Miami neighborhood. The Cultural Complex is Little Haiti's largest venue space

In the 1980's thousands of Haitian immigrants settled in Miami and formed the neighborhood of Little Haiti. The Mache Asisyen Caribbean Marketplace is located in a building that was built in 1936 but which largely sat empty through the years. In 1984, the Miami Chapter of the American Institute of Architects, in partnership with the nonprofit Haitian Task Force, organized a competition for designs to repurpose the building. The contest was won by Miami architect Charles Harrison Pawley, who was born in Haiti to American parents and lived there as a child. Pawley based his design on Haiti's gingerbread-style houses and the Marche Ferrier, the famous Iron Market in the capital of Port-au-Prince. He used vibrant colors to evoke the spirit of the Caribbean.

When the marketplace opened in 1990, it won a Florida Architect Award and an American Institute of Architects National Honor Award. In 1999, the market closed due to lack of funding and merchants were unable to keep their businesses open. The city took over the building in 2005 and planned to tear it down but protests from the community saved it.

In 2014 the market was renovated and had a grand reopening. It is still a focal point of the Haitian community today and you can purchase food and authentic Haitian arts and crafts. Plan on visiting on Saturday when it is the most active.

Historic marker number F-1009 was installed in 2018 by District 5 Commissioner, Keon Hardemon, The City of Miami Parks Department, Little Haiti Cultural Complex, Libreri Mapou, Haitian omen of Miami, Maximilian Consultants, Santla Neighborhood Center, Visit Little Haiti, and the Florida Department of State.“
