Sur Le Toit

Southern Haiti


This 2nd-story, open-air restaurant and theater is right on the beach, with a thatched roof and stylish mosaic flooring. The menu is enormous, with every imaginable surf and turf, Creole, and spaghetti dish, but the place is famous for only having barbecue chicken available. Hey, this is rural Haiti. Regardless, it's a great setting for live music and revelry.
