Review Summary

La Fraicheur Haitienne et Caraibeenne is described as clean and well kept, with a respectful, welcoming staff and a family friendly atmosphere. Reviewers praise the food as delicious, fresh, and authentically Haitian, with the fritay highlighted as well prepared and dishes like griot and tassot cabri with rice receiving praise. The interior is noted as superbly decorated, with comfortable seating, and the ambiance described as lively with good music and attentive service. Some visits include criticisms such as a macaroni salad that tastes like a bland Italian vinaigrette, rice that is sticky and overcooked with little beans, and meat that is quite fatty, along with higher prices that left some diners feeling the meals did not justify the cost. Despite these notes, many reviewers consider it among the best Haitian options in town and say the experience is friendly, authentic, and worth repeating, with staff making a point to check in with guests.View restaurant profile
