About Bettie's Restaurant

Bettie's Restaurant is a small, authentic Haitian gem in Jersey City that offers original and traditional cuisine. The chef is skilled, and the waitstaff, including a helpful and attentive team, provide excellent service. The restaurant has a fancy and upscale ambiance that customers appreciate, creating a romantic and vibrant atmosphere.

The menu features a variety of Haitian dishes, such as the popular lambi (conch), akra (fried dumplings), and plantain cups as appetizers. For the main course, the diri djoun djoun (rice and beans) with fried chicken and macaroni au gratin are highlighted as delicious options. The fried chicken is well-cooked, and the diri djoun djoun is described as "bomb." The fresh green salad is also a standout. The Fritay platter is another highlight, offering a taste of authentic Haitian fried snacks.

While the macaroni au gratin may be a bit dry for some, others enjoy its flavor and texture. The restaurant offers vegetarian options upon request. Although parking can be challenging, with visitors needing to park on nearby streets, it’s worth the effort.
