This place has dramatically changed over the years. I've been coming here since about 2018…read more Back then it was about from $5-$6 for an entire standard sized White foam box FILLED with food that 2 people could share, or could be enjoyed as leftovers. But now this place has gotten very ridiculous. It's over $20 for a large sized box of food. Imagine $3-$4 extra just for a drink. You pay nearly $30! Then to get me to stay just so I wouldn't leave, staff told me that they had a lunch special for $8.99 ...which came out to $9.24 for a tiny little box with such a small amount of food served inside, NO DRINK INCLUDED! The food here is very good especially their cabbage, but it's definitely not even worth it because of their prices and small, terrible portions!

My husband and I originally went to an Indian restaurant, but the menu wasn't dairy‑free friendly…read moreenough for me, so I decided not to eat there. While we were sitting in the car, I searched for a Haitian restaurant and found La Bella Cafe. I called and placed an order, and the woman who answered the phone was very friendly and kind. I ordered the chicken and rice (no photos, unfortunately). The portion of rice alone could easily feed 3-4 people, and the chicken was plentiful as well. The only thing missing from the meal was pikliz. The next day, I wanted my husband to have something he would really enjoy, so I called again and ordered the red snapper. The day before, when I picked up my chicken and rice, the owner's husband happened to be carrying a large plate of the snapper dinner, and both my husband and I were impressed by the presentation and the amount of food. Since my chicken meal didn't contain pikliz, this time, I made sure to request pikliz--Haitian pickled cabbage, carrots, hot pepper, and other ingredients. The snapper dinner costs $40 (they offer both a $40 and a $50 fish dinner). The meal came with fried plantains, diri ak djon djon (black mushroom rice), sauce, pikliz, and of course, the star of the dish: the red snapper. The presentation was excellent. Everything was packaged neatly in an aluminum pan with all the fixings, and the rice came in a separate container. Now, the big question--how was the food? It did not disappoint. Eating that meal was the happiest my husband had been since we landed in Florida. By the time we visited La Bella Cafe, we had been traveling for about two weeks, and the food felt familiar and comforting to me as a Haitian who often cooks these dishes at home. The fish was well‑seasoned, and the rice was cooked perfectly. If I had to suggest anything, it would be to include one more container of pikliz. And for my husband, the plantains weren't crispy enough--he's used to mine! Overall, La Bella Cafe was the best place we ate during our month‑long trip.

I usually order the fried shrimp basket, which comes with 10 shrimp, delicious Cajun fries, a piece of garlic bread, and your choice of sauce. My favorites are the Cajun ranch and cocktail sauce. My boyfriend typically gets the fried fish basket, and they usually have a few fish options available. Whenever they have grouper, that's his pick. He also loves the jumbo shrimp, which are much larger than the standard ones, and always gets them with the sweet chili sauce. Their fresh mint lemonade is delicious, refreshing with the perfect amount of tartness. Every now and then, I'll order a crab cluster, which is sooo good, but be prepared to get messy! For dessert, my boyfriend can never resist the funnel cake fries. We'll definitely keep coming back to Mr. Shrimp. We bring friends here all the time, and no one has ever been disappointed. Five stars every time!

BUT something told me to try it again! Something told me it would be different. So I went on a Saturday afternoon and let me tell you ALL THE FOOD was sooooo delicious. It was so delicious I didn't even have time to take a picture of all my food. And that says a lot because my camera always eats first. When I walked in I was greeted by a sweet lady who was prompt to take my order. I ordered patties, Rasta pasta, jerk chicken, and festival. The rice & peas fluffy and great! The jerk chicken was probably one of the BEST I have ever had seasoned to perfection the chicken was falling off the bone. I loved how they put a jerk sauce on the side to drizzle on the chicken. The cabbage and plantains were good as well. This Rasta pasta chicken was from another universe. This pasta was AMAZING!!! They had 2 heat levels and I got the spiciest one. If you LOVE spicy get the spiciest it will have you in heaven. The festival was also great as well it was fluffy and a bit of a sweetness! I truly loved everything we had!! I did do take out but the inside of the restaurant was clean and bright. I can't wait to go back!!!! I'm definitely going to become a regular. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IF YOU LOVE FLAVOR!

At one point Yelp even had them listed as closed but now I see that they are listed as being open again. I ended up visiting Valecias for a friends Saturday night birthday party. I walked in at 9 PM and it was pretty much dead. There were a few patrons at the bar and it was very quiet. Our party had a small raised area with couches above the dance floor which provided comfortable seating. Later on in the evening there was a DJ and things were a little more lively but not by much. I checked out the menu and it seemed very expensive so I stuck to the party wings and fries. Some of the guests got drinks at the bar. The party was still going strong when I left at 1 AM. I honestly didn't know there was any place in Margate that was open past 11. I am not sure how long they can stay in business with so few people but for now they are definitely open at night and there are a few people who come in to sit at the bar in addition to whatever parties they are hosting.
