“ 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. ”
“ 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. ”
