Haitian Restaurants in Fort Lauderdale & Broward: 12 Spots to Try

Looking for a Haitian restaurant in Fort Lauderdale or anywhere in Broward County? These twelve spots run from Pompano Beach and Coral Springs down to Miramar and Hollywood. Each one has a live ZoeAtlas listing with a photo, address and phone number, and each was showing as open on Google in October 2026.

This is a local shortlist, not a ranking. It covers twelve different kitchens across ten Broward cities, so you can find one close to you. Menus and hours change, so call before you go.

Where Haitian food is in Broward

Much of Broward's Haitian food scene sits along State Road 7 (US 441), which runs through North Lauderdale, Lauderdale Lakes, Margate, Plantation and Miramar. In the ZoeAtlas directory, Miramar has the most Haitian restaurant listings in Broward, followed by Hollywood and Margate.

What to order

If it's your first time, start with griot (fried marinated pork) and pikliz, the spicy pickled cabbage relish. Then try diri djon djon (rice cooked with black mushrooms), legim (a stew of vegetables and meat), lalo (jute-leaf stew), tasso kabrit (fried goat) or lambi (conch). For more names on the menu, see our beginner's glossary of Haitian food.
