Fiiiinally tried Jean’s Cuisine, and will definitely be returning! We got the stewed chicken with rice and beans, and plantain. Had to try the pikliz - was nice. Main dish was very flavorful, and tasty. We came for the diri djon djon (“black rice”) but they were out - can’t wait to come back again to try it. I’d read a Medium was a good size portion - that is still correct! Parking was good, and there’s a little outdoor seating area.
Food is perfect and prices are reasonable.
Jean’s Cuisine just opened up a new location. Much bigger space! Good food & great people!
Took Me Back To When I Was Younger And My God Mother Use To Cook This Exact Dish For Me. It's Been So Long. The Food Was Amazing, I Will Definitely Be Coming Back.
I went to Jean Cuisine for dinner and it was AMAZING !! Hands down the best in Bridgeport thus far. Definitely get there fast!! The legume, the sauce poi, the fish, the rice A1!!! Homemade lemonade sooo good. I will be back !!!
This is definitely one of my go-to places for Haitian cuisine. Never disappoints!
It was my first time visiting today and the food was delicious. The staff were very friendly and they packed my food very neatly making sure my sauces did not spill. I just moved from NY to CT and this is my first haitian restaurant. Merci ! Ill be back again
I haven’t had Haitian food in so long and honestly I forgot what it taste like. Someone recommended this hidden gem to me and when I tell you I’m already planning my next visit and I haven’t even finished my first meal yet!!! It’s so flavorful, I got the fried snapper, with black rice and fried plantains! So good and the fish is fresh!
This place has the best Haitian food! I always get the fried pork and black rice.
Just finished eating takeout from Jean’s Cuisine. I am so glad we took the trek to try their food. Why didn’t we know about this little gem before now. Our dinner was so good. So tasty. So delicious. We ordered the Pwason with Diri Djon Djon (Fried Snapper with Black Rice) and the Tasso Kibrit with Diri Djon Djon (Fried Goat Chunks and Black Rice). Did we mention the Pikliz and Sauce? This has to have been one of the best meals we’ve had in a long time. Every item on our plates were full of flavor and seasoned to the T. We thoroughly enjoyed our meals. If you are looking to try their Black Rice, make sure you go after 5 PM. They don’t sell it until after 5. The lady at the register was very friendly, so that made our ordering process much better. There might be a little bit of a language barrier on both sides, so keep that in mind when going. Also, make sure to look menu up online before you go because there aren’t any menus at the restaurant. All in all, we are extremely happy with our visit to Jean’s Cuisine and we will definitely be going back (very soon). To see our full review, visit B&B Reviews It Channel on YouTube.
