Our Haitian Roots
First Republic Lounge & Restaurant was created from a deep love for Haiti’s history and culture. Our name honors Haiti, the first nation in the Western Hemisphere to free itself from slavery. Since opening in 2013, we’ve celebrated over 200 years of independence through food, art, and music. Here in Elizabeth, NJ, we proudly share the beauty of our heritage with every guest who walks through our doors.

We bring the bold and authentic flavors of Haiti straight to your table. Our menu features favorites like Griot, Macaroni au Gratin, Beef Tassot, Akra, Chicken Pike, Tour of Haiti, and Pikliz. Each dish is made with fresh ingredients and cooked with care. We honor tradition while making every plate taste like home. One bite, and you’ll experience the true flavor of Haitian culture.
