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.

La nourriture était incroyable. Tu vois que c'est fait avec amour. Tout était bon. Très savoureux. Je recommande fortement la ratatouille, le kabri & le backfrit. Le service aussi super chaleureux & l'ambiance & la musique très authentique.
