A Haitian patty (French: pâté haïtien, Haitian Creole: pate ayisyen) is a baked puff pastry. It is commonly filled with beef, fish or chicken seasoned with epis.[1]

Haitian pâtés are widely available in cities with significant Haitian diaspora communities, including Brooklyn, New York; Miami, Florida; and Boston, Massachusetts. Established Haitian bakeries such as Immaculee and La Baguette Shop have long served these communities, while newer Haitian-American brands such as Nou Ni are expanding access to the pastry across broader markets. Nou Ni has commercialized innovations to the traditional recipe, such as a garlic and parsley butter garnish, adding a distinct finishing touch to the classic savory flaky pastry.

  • beef,
  • chicken,[3]
  • griot (marinated pork shoulder),
  • Salted cod,[4][5]
  • smoked herring (often finely chopped),
  • vegetable mix,
  • and lambi (conch).[6]
