  • I am having a really hard time rating this place mostly because I grew up eating most of these menu items at home and have gone to countless Haitian restaurant including some in Haiti. Some major differences would include the prices (which are quite high for typical Haitian food and the portions), the decor, which in this case feature art from the owner Haitian husband and the fact that not one person working in the kitchen or on staff speak Creole (this was a deal breaker for my dad to come try this place!) That being said the effort is there and unless you are used to these menu items you will for the most part leave with a happy tummy... here's the breakdown: Most people are surprised to hear that Haitian food isn't typically spicy.. chalk it up to the french influence but we love our carbs, rich flavours, and sauces! And I guess that was the one big complaint I had overall about Rhum Corner there are virtually no traditional sauces to accompany any of their dishes... where is the ti-malice, sauce pois noir or meat sauce? The griot was what I was really excited to try and I think they missed the mark. First off they trimmed way too much fat off the pork (which is where most of the flavour comes from) and inexplicably added a sweet sauce to the mix to help compensate for the lack of moisture in the meat (again from taking away the fat). Haitian food is not sweet and we generally don't mix salty and sweet together, so although it didn't taste too bad, but real griot is AMAZING and this re-invention falls quite short. I would also pass on the pikliz, which is our cabbage slaw. This table top condiment was way too vinegary and I have a feeling it's because it sits in an open container at room temperature all day instead of remaining crisp and slightly spicy as it should. My favourite items were the Accra and banan pezĂ© generally speaking they did a great job both with taste and texture. At the end of the day I've decided to give Rhum corner 3 stars because although not all it's menu items tasted particularly inspired, I like the idea of people perhaps going home and learning a bit more about Haitian food and culture. Also as a bar this place is pretty great.
