BunNan LLC

BunNan is Brooklyn’s go-to for bold, plantain-powered Haitian eats. Founded by yours truly, it stars bannann peze in sandwiches and plates like griot and pikliz. Now with a new spot at 1248 Flatbush Ave, we're proudly, unapologetically Haitian.

Blueline Fry Plantain

Blueline Fry Plantain serves authentic Haitian cuisine rooted in tradition. With a diverse menu, including vegetarian options, and strong community engagement through local events, it offers bold flavors while fostering connection and cultural pride.

DjonDjon

DjonDjon brings Haitian stories to life through bold, flavorful dishes. Centered on Lambi and djon djon mushrooms, this Haitian-American gem reimagines tradition with seafood pasta, rich rice dishes, and vibrant flavors celebrating Haiti’s culinary future.

Rebel Restaurant and Bar

Rebel Restaurant and Bar is a bold tribute to Haitian and Caribbean culture in the heart of the Lower East Side. With island flavors, creative cocktails, and a vibe powered by food, art, and music, Rebel is more than a restaurant—it’s a cultural experience. Come for the griot and cocktails, stay for the vibe that lingers long after the last bite.

Kreyol Flavor

Everything at Kreyol Flavor is freshly made with love, using recipes passed down through generations and a signature blend of spices. Come here for time-honored dishes—from pikliz to pate kode.

Lago Kache Restaurant & Lounge

From kabrit boukannen to fried red snapper, Lago Kachè is a warm, vibrant space where families gather for birthdays, weddings, and more—filled with music, laughter, and memories in the making.

Rasin Haitian restaurant

Born in Haiti and raised in the U.S., Rasin Haitian's founder dreamed of owning a restaurant since childhood. When her family moved to Charlotte, she was shocked by the lack of Haitian food, so she opened Rasin, meaning "roots" in Kreyòl. The menu features staples like Griot, Snapper, and Lalo in a warm, family-style setting. (The restaurant is formerly known as Lakou.)

Griot Gardens

After moving from Miami in 2023, Ari missed the bold flavors she grew up with. At the 2024 Houston Caribbean Carnival, she met many others who felt the same. So alongside her mother, Pricia, she opened Griot Gardens, a Haitian-Caribbean restaurant in Houston, in February of 2025. Griot Gardens is a vibrant, plant-filled space serving traditional and vegan Haitian-Caribbean dishes.
