prefer a lighter main course, Fleur offers some
hearty entrée-style salads, and a welcome
spin on the current "bowl" craze. The Fiesta
Pineapple Bowl is a half pineapple filled with
spicy-sweet fried rice, roasted corn, peppers,
tomatoes, and creole-influenced seasoning.
The dish is a satisfying vegetarian meal, but
you can get it topped with shrimp or sirloin
steak marinated in—you guessed it—a secret
spice blend.
This being Rockport, Fleur offers plenty of
seafood options, including an indulgent Pan-
Seared Sea Bass, dressed with a house spice
blend and a deeply flavorful lemony-buttery
sauce, served with creamy mashed potatoes
and asparagus.
Desserts are made in house, We'd
recommend the fluffy, rich rum cake, served
warm with vanilla ice cream and an extra
splash of Haitian rum. Perhaps pair it with
a glass of cremas—a creamy alcoholic drink
native to Haiti, featuring dairy milk, coconut,
and Haitian rum, and available by the glass or
by the bottle to go. Fleur crafts theirs using a
recipe from Alva-Lafleur's mother. Just don't
ask how it's made. Simply enjoy.
