Savoring Jacmel: A Culinary Journey

Nestled along Haiti's southern coast, Jacmel beckons with its vibrant culinary offerings.

Street vendors offer delectable treats such as akasan, a sweet rice and corn drink, perfect for a midday refreshment.

Haitian cuisine reflects a rich blend of African, French, Caribbean, and indigenous Taíno influences. Staple foods include rice, beans, and maize, often accompanied by flavorful stews such as griot or tasso kabrit (spiced goat). Plantains are ubiquitous, served fried, boiled, or mashed. Pikliz, a spicy pickled vegetable relish, adds zest to many dishes. Drinks like Rhum Barbancourt, a locally distilled rum, and Akasan, a creamy cornmeal beverage, complement meals with their distinct Haitian flavors.

Don't miss out on kremas, a creamy coconut-based liquor, or a cup of rich Haitian coffee at a cozy café. Jacmel's food scene blends French,

African, and indigenous flavors, promising a delightful experience that reflects its cultural richness.
