Fried fish sandwich at Chef Creole — Try the unique blend of Haitian, Creole and Bahamian dishes at Chef Creole Seasoned Kitchen

Chef Creole Seasoned Kitchen

Let’s start with the ubër popular restaurant Chef Creole Seasoned Kitchen, a colorful restaurant with outdoor seating. Celebrity Chef Wilkinson “Ken” Sejour has embraced his roots in every dish on the menu. Sejour was born in the Bahamas to Haitian parents, so it’s no wonder that Chef Creole Seasoned Kitchen is a culmination of vibrant, even explosive flavors. Known locally as “Chef Creole,” the restaurant is renowned for crossing cultural barriers and creating a unique blend of Haitian, Creole and Bahamian dishes.

Their most popular dish is griot (fried pork), served with rice, beans and Chef Creole’s famous signature pikliz (spicy cabbage slaw). Other delicious dishes on the menu include fried conch, jerk wings, oxtail, fried fish and plantains. All the food is cooked fresh, so bring a friend for good conversation while waiting for your meal.

Naomi’s Garden Restaurant & Lounge

What started off as a vegetarian food truck in the late 1970s has blossomed into a Caribbean eatery in Little Haiti known as Naomi’s Garden Restaurant & Lounge. A beautiful venue with colorful murals, gardens and patio seating, Naomi’s is not only about cuisine; it’s about cultural connection, too. Want to load up on delicious veggies? Naomi’s delivers the flavor with plantains, collard greens and pumpkin soup. The chickpea stew, legume, vegan curry chicken and tofu stroganoff are delicious options for the vegan palate, and meat eaters will enjoy options like fried goat, fried chicken and oxtail.

Chez Le Bebe

Chez Le Bebe has been a staple in Little Haiti for more than 34 years and claims to have the best griot in town.

Traditional dishes like griot (fried pork), foie (liver), ragout (pig feet), taso (fried goat), cabrit (goat) and pwason (fish) are on the menu and cooked to order.

On busy days, be prepared for a little wait, but it will be well worth it. Also keep in mind that this is a cash-only establishment.

Clive’s Café

Located in the heart of Little Haiti, Clive’s Café is a longtime locals favorite for authentic Jamaican food.

Boia De

In the middle of one of the most unassuming locations you’ll ever visit – a strip mall right between Little Haiti and the Miami Design District – lies the MICHELIN-starred Boia De. This intentionally limited-menu restaurant serves up delicious Italian dishes with an American twist. Order delicious potato skins topped with stracciatella, caviar and egg, or try a unique dish: pappardelle alla lepre, made with Florida rabbit with tomato and rosemary accents. Top off your meal with the restaurant’s unique crispy tiramisu – or, for a little after-dinner caffeine kick, try the affogato, a scoop of ice cream topped with an espresso shot.
