The Karibbean West Lebanon — Restaurant in Lebanon

The Karibbean is why the Upper Valley is special. Coming home from an appt. at the hospital with some extra time, I thought I would try something different. My first time eating Haitian food. Can't tell you what I had. I left it all up to the owner, Colleen. It was opening time, no one else in the restaurant, so I had concierge treatment Colleen sampled a bit of everything into a huge take-out, half-spicy/half-non-spicy, she said. I chose chicken as the meat ...not yet ready to experiment with goat. Each of 4 chicken thighs prepared a different way, with spicy slaw and rice with black mushrooms. I tore into it, eating all I could. The 2 spicy chicken selections were like nothing I had tasked --awesome! The rice was the perfect base for the meal. And the slaw ...the spicy slaw ...to die for. If this is Haitian food, I'm in again and again. The meal was big enough for two meals. I took the remainder hope for dinner ...and it was just as good.

Colleen has a boutique of Haitian crafts adjacent to restaurant, where all things Haitian are sold, including some of the art that adorns the walls. Sweet place to visit after a meal. Lunch with Colleen and her mother, Coutrille, was a delight. Reminded me what a special place the Upper Valley of the Connecticut River is, both sides of the river. An easy 5-stars for...

First time trying it! We got the chickpea avocado salad, creole chicken, rice and beans, fried plantains & spicy slaw, and beef and chicken patties. The chicken was very juicy and tender, the chickpea salad was great and tasted fresh, but we didn’t like the plantains as much because they were a bit dry and needed some sauce to accompany it. We liked empanadas, especially the beef ones. Overall, we think it would be better if we dined in person as the plantains would have been more fresh out of the kitchen, but we still liked still it. Prices are good but smaller portions so not many leftovers. Definitely want to come back and try other dishes...
