Fort Royal Restaurant

Griot with plantains

If it's your first time, start with the griot and plantains. We cook Haitian food here, and that plate is a good place to begin.

See the menu

Fish with brown rice

Get the fish with brown rice. We also make poisson gros sel with red snapper and boiled plantain, and it comes with a side salad.

Black rice and fried turkey

Diri djondjon is black rice and beans, and it goes well with our fried turkey and legumes. Add a patty, or pate, as Haitian people call them.

I was craving some Haitian food and came across this gem! First time eating here and I enjoyed the Griot with plantains, it was really good. Staff was also very friendly, can’t wait to go back to try other dishes. Definitely recommend this restaurant if you are looking for authentic Haitian food!

I was craving poisson gros sel, and decided to place an order for delivery (Uber Eats). I ordered the red snapper, with boilled plaintain. It came with a fresh side salad, and ranch dressing. One thing about my Haitian people, we love a salad with our meals. My delivery was estimated 90-120 minutes, and that's to be expected for a made to order dish. My Uber Eats delivery arrived ahead of schedule, so I'm glad I ordered before the lunch rush. Anyway, the food was packaged properly for…

10/10, no complaints. Finally a place worth living here in Kentucky. I'm Haitian and from the Northeast and it was a struggle for the longest time finding Haitian food that was actually good. Louisville lacks diversity in comparison to where I'm from and finding this golden gem has been a blessing. Can't wait to try more things!

The food is amazing 😋 We ordered the fried goat and the legume. Everything came out delicious. Reminded me of a good Sunday meal from my childhood in Haiti. They have great customer service as well. Definitely my new spot for homemade Haitian food.
