Haitian Gallery

4.5(151 reviews)

About

Haitian Gallery, on Puerto Rico, occupies 367 C. de la Fortaleza in San Juan, 00901, in the heart of the old quarter. First-time visitors should expect a craft shop rather than a general retailer, with handmade pieces on display. A rating of 4.5 out of 5 from 151 reviews shows a well-used address. From Condado, Isla Verde or Ocean Park the trip into the historic centre is short, and Carolina and Bayamón lie within the same urban area. Caribbean cooking commonly combines rice, plantain and saltfish with Scotch bonnet and other hot peppers.

The shop's position on C. de la Fortaleza places it among the old city's streets, where foot traffic from visitors is steady. Those 151 reviews make it one of the more widely reviewed craft addresses in San Juan. Its stock leans toward Haitian-made goods, which sets it apart from the surrounding souvenir trade. Storms can sweep the Caribbean between the start of June and the end of November, so travellers often plan around that window.

Opening times for the shop are not published anywhere online. Photographs of the interior are not displayed online. The gallery's Facebook page at facebook.com/haitian.gallery.puertorico is the listed point of contact.

English serves visitors in Puerto Rico, and the old quarter is walkable once you arrive. Driving or a short taxi ride covers the distance from the resort areas along the coast. Ponce, on the southern side, makes a longer excursion from the capital.
