About

Shandmas specializes in authentic Haitian culinary traditions by focusing on rich, savory staples that define the island experience. The kitchen prepares signature griot featuring cubes of marinated pork fried until golden and crisp, served alongside pikliz for a sharp, spicy contrast. Patrons frequently encounter hearty portions of rice and peas seasoned with aromatic epis, which serves as the foundational spice blend for many dishes. Plantains provide a sweet and starchy accompaniment to succulent stews and seasoned meats prepared according to traditional methods. The atmosphere maintains a focus on the delivery of genuine Caribbean flavors through bold seasoning and reliable cooking techniques. Each plate emphasizes the deep cultural heritage of Haitian gastronomy through consistent execution and the use of authentic, high-quality ingredients sourced to ensure a representative and flavorful experience for every diner.

J'adore cette belle place :) Endroit chaleureux & cozy.En plus d'être délicieux leur légume & tellement mais tellement bon.Je recommande fortement.C'est un peu dispendieux mais ça vaut clairement le détour.C'est comme si tu mangeais dans la maison de quelqu'un tellement c'est bien cuisiner.

Pretty nice haitian eatery. The portions looks small but they fill you up. I take the grigot & the pork is always full of flavour with a nice crisp on the outside & moist on the inside. Definitely go there if this is your type of food. The fried stuff (forgot the name) is also really nice to eat but can get pretty heavy on the oil, wish they would give more of the macaroni salad to help with that
