Manje Lokal

Top choice in Southern Haiti


Right off the boardwalk behind a concrete wall with an opening at the center, this is a collection of half-a-dozen shacks (with accompanying sound systems), each serving up plenty of beer and cheap food. Fish, chicken and plantains are all filling staples, and the party here sometimes goes late into the night. For food, Chantal's section is where it's at.
