More Flavor: City Gem Haitian Dining at Tap Tap

  • Citygem_haitiandining_event_full

Those who've passed a lazy evening in the rocking chairs on Tap Tap's front porch, sipping Miami's best mojitos while listening to Haitian compas music, will be pleased to know that the restaurant is back after its usual midsummer hiatus. Those who've never been there had better skedaddle over to experience this backpackers' paradise. Lose yourself in the colorful murals of Haiti's cultural life, which decorate every inch of the venue; dip some malanga fritters into that succulent cilantro sauce; suck up some sugary rum mixed with mint leaves; and contemplate the age-old Afro-Caribbean chanting that permeates the air.
