This was one of the must stop visits bookmarked for my Paris trip. I was excited to try and support a Haitian restaurant while abroad. We walked in without rsvp and was able to sit down immediately. The drinks were strong and the food was delicious. I was a bit disappointed that the piklis wasn't spicy but the hot sauce they provided for the table made it for it. The food did take a while to come out but it was worth the wait. The staff was friendly and nice. I would visit again next time I'm in Paris read more

Customer service amazing. This place came highly recommended. We were searching for amazing food in Paris. This did not disappoint. There is street parking available but I suggest using rideshare. Walked in and immediately knew we were where we should be. The place was filled with people who seemed as though their bellies were content. Was greeted by an amazing woman who turned out to be the owner. Her name was Charlotte when translated in English. She was so engaging and helpful with navigating the menu. I ordered samosas and griot. OMG! Everything was so savory and seasoned well. This was hands down the best Haitian food I have ever experienced. The griot was very tender. My entire party enjoyed their dish. Please run not walk... to this restaurant whenever you're in the area. read more

Au Paradis Tropical - Griot and red beans and rice. I can't recall the actual name of it on the menu. But part of the title was Hatienne. - Caribbean Near Me - Paris, 75

Found this resturant while looking for Black restaurants to visit in Paris and the reviews were pretty good on Yelp. While the food was good, sadly the service was extremely slow and took an hour to get our food. Not sure if this is standard for restaurants in Paris, but it was important for me to support a Black owned business while I was here. I eat Caribbean food at home in the states a lot (specifically Jamaican) and had never had Haitian food. My chicken was fried perfectly and was very good the sauce could've used some more flavor for it to be a "hot sauce" the red beans and rice also lacked flavor and I was surprised I just knew this were going to be bursting with flavor. The fried sweet plantains were the best plantains I've had in my life, but the service was just beyond slow we were here for almost two hours it took 30 minutes to hunt down someone for the check. If the service was good this would definitely be a 4-5 star review I almost left 2 stars but I had to remember tipping at a restaurant is not a familiarity in French culture, so that may have impacted the service. read more

I love Haitian food, (I'm half Haitian) and the restaurant was on point. One of the best dinners I had in Paris. It's located in "Little Africa" and is well worth the train ride on the 4. The cocktails were good and so was the food. I ordered griot with rice and plantains. The only difference was the pikliz was not made the traditional way (which I am very fond of). The cabbage and carrots were separate from spicy sauce, they are normally together. Everything else was good! read more

It was my last day in Paris, and I was really eager to try something different! Prior to leaving I had found this place through a Yelp search, and I had always heard such good things about Haitian food! The restaurant is super easy to access through public transportation, and it's located in an area dubbed as "Little Africa". So I walk in the restaurant and the decor of the restaurant already has me sold. I came around 1pm, and they had jus th opened at 12, so things were pretty slow. There was on other patron, and the waiter was sitting in the back. I was greeted promptly in French, and I said my favorite phrase "Bonjour je ne parle Français". The waiter smiled, said no problem and said I could sit anywhere. The menu was brought out almost right away, and the prices looked super affordable! After scanning through the menu In made it to the "menu" items (3 course meals for a set price). After asking what was included, I made no hesitation and ordered the 14€ meal! Not long after ordering water was brought out, and the first appetizer followed shortly after! DELICIOUS! The appetizer came with a habanero sauce that I could not get enough of! And even that salad was good! It seemed as though as soon as I was finished with the appetizer came the main course! When I tell you my mouth watered, it literally did! The chicken looked perfectly cooked, the presentation was great, and again I had the magic habanero sauce! The chicken was so good and tender, and the gravy that came with it added and extra touch of awesomeness! I don't think I've EVER saved white rice to be the last thing I eat, but this rice was so good that I had to eat it in moderation to keep from inhaling it! So the meal was finished, and I was pretty much stuffed until the waiter reminded me that I had dessert. Now at some point during our interaction the conversation switched to being only in French (yep, no idea why. My French level is below basic). So the waiter mentions a cake with what I thought he said were pieces of banana, so when I repeat banana back to him is when the fun starts. He tells me no it's this word, but he can't think of it in English, so an impromptu game of charades ensues and I'm somehow able to guess that the word he was trying to say was pineapple. The cake was delicious! Look at the pics and you will see! There's no doubt in my mind that if I'm ever in Paris again, that this place will be on of my go to's! Friendly service, very affordable prices and delicious food! read more

I am not a fan of traditional French cuisine so I was ecstatic to found a haitian food restaurant in Paris! This was the only exceptional meal had in my entire few days in Paris. This restaurant is probably amongst the top 5 best haitian cuisine that I have ever had. Everything was fresh & delicious. Fried fish, djondjon rice, and crispy plantain! They open an noon. I was hopefully to sneak I to go meal on my long flight back to the states. Next time! This is a must stop if you're ever in Paris and would like awesome Caribbean [haitian] food!! read more

I was visiting Paris and wanted to have some Haitian food. I found this restaurant on yelp and was not disappointed. Although the place was technically closed for dine-in the lady in charge allowed me to dine-in because I was a tourist. Everything we had was delicious and fresh. My party and I were both surprisingly happy with the Tasso which was not only delicious but soft. We had griot, legumes, and Tasso. I will rate everything a 10. We had the passion punch that brought back to the motherland. All in all you can't go wrong eating at this restaurant. It's a must stop for me next time I'm in Paris. read more

This place was amazing. First time having hatian food (taste sort of spanish) but was really good! Boyfriend is hatian so he ordered for me, but if u like fish, i strongly suggest ordering the whole fish in tomato sauce!! The waitress is serving the whole restaurant by herself + she is the bartender, so you have to wait a bit - but it is well worth it. More places like this need to be supported! Small restaurants but huge flavor, taste & personality. I strongly recommend. read more

This place was spectacular! The food was authentic Haitian, the server was pleasant. I grew up in Haiti and have to say this food was beyond amazing it was a taste of home. I brought my girlfriend, her sister and son and it was their first time having Haitian food and they were floored with how amazing the food was. If I could give this place more stars I would. I'll be coming back as much as possible!!! Bravo bravo read more

I have high standards for Haitian food and this place hits the spot. I was craving the legumes the next morning, it was that good!! The djon djon was on point as well as the crab appetizer. Food is fresh and piping hot. My husband loved the griot and goat, the fish was also delicious. I'm looking forward to going back soon. read more

This is a real Haitian restaurant with great food in a nice environment. However the service was very slow, there was only one server, she was extremely pleasant, but it was lunchtime so we don't know if dinner has more servers. The owner (cook?) greeted us personally. Close to Chateau Rouge metro. read more
