  • This place does Haitian less controversially than some (see: today's piece in The Atlantic "Arcade Fire Exploited Haiti, and Almost No One Noticed") but not as well as I'd hoped. Our party of 5 arrived at 6PM on a Saturday and there was plenty of room; we sat in the cozy back booth under the neon sign. I don't remember what was in this space before but I doubt it was half as good-looking. BEVVIES: All tiny but boozy. The Dark & Stormy ($9) is the largest of the bunch in a petite highball glass. Dainty but dangerous little slushies of the Daiquiri ($7) and Pina Colada ($8) varieties were both major hits of the evening and impossible to consume slowly or sensibly. The Negroni was that night's drink special, which turned out to be $11 and just okay. SNACKS: I loooved the accra ($5), finger-sized malanga [starchy root plant] fritters with a yummy milky dip and giving latkes a run for their money. Sadly, they came only five to a plate. The salt cod patty ($4) was certainly a step up from Patty King...maybe not three dollars up...but good! My friend ordered a wildly overpriced and undersized watercress salad ($8) - enough said. I wasn't really into the table's Pikliz (spicy pickled cabbage) but the flavour is worth a try. PLATES: The mains are small plates, so they're not exactly a steal. A couple of us had the tasty Red Snapper with Shrimp ($12) but a more apt name might be Rice and More Pikliz with Two Shrimps and Some Fish In There Somewhere If You Can Find It. The fish was tasty though. Our friends ordered the turkey leg ($11) and legumes with goat ($11), noting that the latter was "waaaay better". Caribbean cuisine is known to be seasoned liberally but everything, apps included, was too loaded with salt and vinegar for me. I guess that's where those slushies come in. We had another round of drinks and an ice cream, too - the menu's lone dessert. BATHROOMS: If you're renovating your home, the wallpaper du jour is apparently "Full-Frontal Naked Sexy Haitians". In summation: I'm delighted about the addition of a cool "Manje Kreyòl" spot to the city, but we all agreed that the drinks are the best part. Bring a wad of cash and come for those - the name says it all, anyhow.
