tap tap haitian restaurant miami beach florida cuisine reviewYou 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.
 
tap tap foodThe 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 busTap 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!
