wonderful cafe with good food and good atmosphere. I had the BBQ pulled pork with fries and vinegar colesaw and it was my first meal since I got in Haiti. I have to say that set the bar and it was delicious. the soda pops were a pleasant surprise because of the real cane sugar but I guess that's all of Haiti. food was not expensive and definitely worth it.
