    I am always up for trying new cuisine and new places, especially being a foodie and Yelp elite. I had read that this place offered decent Haitian food, so I thought I would check it out. Food was available and despite the language barrier I got a decent dish. It tasted homely and pleasant and the portion was generous.

    So I didn't feel like driving but wanted a good meal. I decided to give this place another try so I ordered Uber eats . The food arrived in a decent amount of time and was still warm. The rice was good, flavorful and it was a large amount. There was a good amount of griot and it was ok ..a few pieces were fried to hard though. The price was reasonable as well.

    One of the worst chicken dinners I've had. Would not order again.I ordered chicken, not construction materials. If you're looking for protein and a workout for your jaw, this is the meal for you.

    After taking our first creole class at the Miramar cultural center my boyfriend and I decided to try a new Haitian restaurant. We came to La Belle Jacemlienne and enjoyed everything about it. It was beautifully decorated both inside and outside with vibrant Haitian art and lovely artifacts. The ambiance was very romantic and gave us a nice taste of Haiti. We practiced our creole a bit when ordering our food. The food was delicious as we already expected. We plan on coming back here many more times!

    This place is 2 minutes from my house and I can never seem to make it in time before they close. I finally made it tonight and they did not disappoint! Service was good and our food came out in about 10 minutes. Tassot Kabrit, diri kole ak pwa rouj with plantain and soursop juice on the side This is the best fried goat I've had since I moved to Miramar. Thank you!! I'll definitely be back!

    This is my favorite restaurant in Miramar. It's the best decorated restaurant I've ever seen, & the mother daughter, granddaughter trio working on Jan 1 was adorable (seeing three generations) :-) This was the best Haitian food & soup JouMou that I've ever had, & im a bit of a connoisseur when it comes to Carib food ;-) The culture all through this place is really amazing to see. I was taken aback by the artwork, as it's very impressive, beautiful, & something you'd only see if you went to Haiti. The name Jacmel is a Taino word, & I love that Haitians honor their native people by keeping their original language alive. Much respect & admiration.

    Great location and delicious food. I came on a Saturday evening to grab some takeout and there's was a few people waiting but it wasn't packed. I do highly recommend to order ahead since they cook the griot to order so it could take longer the wait if there some orders ahead of yours. The griot itself was really good, well seasoned and with good amount of fatty parts. The black rice was delicious and had a hint of spice. Fried green bananas were fried to perfection. The oxtail was tender and flavor, but I wish there was more on the plate for the price. Overall everything was excellent and I would be back.

    Best Griot! Cooked to order. I love this place, always fresh ...it's definitely my guilty pleasure

    Fried snapper, conch, rice

    Looking for a good Haitian restaurant? La Belle Jacmelienne Cade is by far one of the finest Haitian cuisines' in South Florida. I would recommend trying all of their selections, from the fried fish, to rice, soup, conch, turkey and much more. The customer service and hospitality that is received is exceptional! Every time I walk into this restaurant I feel very welcomed. I promise you will not be disappointed! Must give it a try.

    Groit with plantains and rice snd beans

    Ummmm... it was okay. :/ Meaning the food was just okay. It just wasn't the best I've ever had. Would I come back? I would if I'm around the area. I chose the Groit with Rice and beans. Rice was good and the groit was ok, it really didn't have much flavor. Customer service was pleasant.

    Stew chicken.

    I am officially unofficially a local resident. This place was a hit. Every item that we wanted was available and the only wait we had was the line to order. Sitting outside in front of the restaurant was great. I can't wait to come back and try the pork.

Still, it has become a true staple for us, whether we're dining in or grabbing takeout. It's also such a great spot for gatherings big or small from graduations and repasses to family dinners or even a casual date night. There's something about the food that always brings people together. Tonight, we had the Seafood Legume, which is one of my favorites and something you don't find at a lot of Haitian restaurants in South Florida. It comes with lambi, crab, and shrimp, and while it was really good tonight, it was definitely spicier than usual. I usually love the flavor and richness of the legume, so the extra heat caught me a little off guard, but overall it was still enjoyable. We also tried the Kirby, which was okay but didn't stand out as much for me. And of course, I had to get the Rum Punch tasty, refreshing, and definitely strong! Overall, the food continues to be the reason we keep coming back. Tonight's service was just okay, but hopefully next time it'll be a better experience on that end. Either way, Kasa Champet remains a family favorite and a go-to when we're craving Haitian food.

The restaurant is divided into 2 parts: sit down restaurant and to go orders. I usually like the food, no complaints there. The problem is the customer service, which seems to be lacking even on a good day. On this visit, I called in a to-go order for pickup, as I usually do. When I arrived, my order wasn't ready. I asked for an update and how much longer the wait would be, but no one could give me an answer. After several minutes, one employee simply shook her head and said, "I don't know." It turned out they were busy fulfilling a large catering order, which is completely understandable. What I don't understand is why that wasn't communicated to customers placing pickup orders. Multiple people came in asking about their orders and were met with the same lack of response. At least 10 to 12 people were inside waiting, including Door Dash and Uber Eats drivers. After waiting 45 minutes with no clear update, I finally left without my food. The food here may be great, but the customer service and communication need serious improvement. If you decide to order from here, be prepared for possible delays and very little communication/updates about them.

The ambiance is that of a fast casual restaurant with and order counter and tables lining the outer perimeter of the restaurant. There are TVs playing as well. The service wasn't particularly friendly, the two ladies up front seemed more interested in chatting than helping me with the menu. The lunch special came with a soda but they do not offer diet soda and they will not substitute bottled water. I walked in for pickup, and the two lunches probably took 15-20 minutes to be prepared. My husband got the griot, which was flavorful but dry. I got the stewed chicken which was slightly overcooked and underseasoned. I did enjoy the fried smashed plantains, but the rice and beans tasted weirdly ashy? We barely touched those. The pikliz was only ok. Overall, I would not return as I was disappointed.

Sad part is we've bought from here before the snapper meal at was super good about 4 yrs ago after that we bought the snapper again then it all went down hill from there I thought I'd give them a try again but I'm 100% sure never to order from here again. I had to throw the entire meal to the trash .Oh and the Mac and cheese is in the trash too. Either fire all the cooks or close this place down .
