Gedro Koupé Dwèt Haitian Cuisine — Restaurant in Ottawa

I’ve had various Haitian restaurants in the city but my first time trying, this one fell short for me. I ordered the griot plate. I will start by saying the portion of meat was nice n full.

Hopefully the owner reads this and can make slight adjustments because I really want to support this...

Would be good place for take out but...

This is an absolute gem of a place. If you’re looking for family friendly, tasty, and delicious place for takeout or eat in than look no further. The portions are generous and there are succulent sides that really pack a punch in flavor. We had the pork grio, mushroom rice and fried fish. All came with plantains, salad, coleslaw, the hottest hot sauce, and much more. The service was so friendly and welcoming. We sat while we waited for food to be prepared fresh and ran home quickly to devour it all. So happy to have this restaurant in the...
