You
know those restaurants that you drive past time and time again and have
no idea what they offer, but you keep thinking you want to check
out anyway? I've had my eye on this restaurant Tap Tap
on 5th Avenue on Miami Beach for quite some time. Tap Tap Haitian
restaurant features a lot of items native to the homeland and the
decorating alone is worth a stop by. I think there are only three mass
produced items in the building and those are two lights on the ceiling.
Your eyes will be drawn to the one-of-a-kind artwork adorning all of the
walls, tables, doors, and even the floors. The
food is Haitian and that includes a lot of pork, chicken and fish.
There are a lot of items that are fried and if you are on a strict
diet, maybe this isn't the restaurant for you. While checking out
the menu, you can't help but notice that everything is bilingual;
entrees are called Gwoplat and appetizers are
T i Plat. The Griyo is Fried Pork
Chunks that come with an Au Jus that is absolutely delicious. The Au
Jus is also used for the Poul Boukanen (1/2 Grilled
Natural Free Range Chicken) and each came with a Haitian version of
Rice and Beans that was great and different. The server also brought
out a bowl of cornmeal as another side that tasted like buttered
grits and were delicious. Tap
Tap was alive, vibrant and amazing and I had a front-row seat to the
kitchen, and let me tell you, everything is authentic and hand
made. I happened to eat when there was a live band playing in the
back room that was the best accent to an already wonderful
experience. So drop by, check out the interior and be amazed by the
food.
Oh, don't forget to check out the bus out front, you can't miss it!
