About this tour

Cook Haitian dishes with Chef Marie Michele in a 90-minute, hands-on culinary experience that brings the flavors and traditions of Haiti to the table. At Gingerbites Haitian Bistro, learn to prepare akra, or malanga fritters, and diri kole, Haitian rice and beans, with guidance from the chef.

Begin with a taste of ginger citronnade, then cook and enjoy a traditional meal featuring rice and beans with griot, fried plantains, pikliz, and dessert. Haitian music and cultural storytelling add context to the dishes, while a glass of wine makes the meal feel like a relaxed evening with friends. You’ll also receive an autographed copy of PRESERV, a collection of Haitian recipes, to take home and revisit.

How this score is calculated

This tour has no TourTruth score yet: Viator doesn't show a usable rating for it. It gets a score as soon as a provider lists one.

How the score works
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10. Tours without a usable provider rating are not scored.
