From Haiti to Jamaica, the Dominican to Puerto Rico and Cuba, you’re invited to experience a local breakfast that will excite your taste buds.
Here, we’re taking a look at some of the Caribbean classics you have to try next time you’re in Nashua, NH.
FRITAY LAKAY
This Haitian classic is listed on our dinner menu, but can certainly be enjoyed any time of the day! ‘Fritay’ refers to fried street food, like plantains. Paired with your choice of protein, sweet potato and acar, and topped with a signature sauce filled with authentic spices, Fritay Lakay is a sure way to give any sluggish morning the kickstart it needs!
COCO BREAD
A quintessential Jamaican bakery staple, coco bread is soft, slightly sweet, and irresistibly buttery; the perfect complement to a savory breakfast like eggs or saltfish. Traditionally made with coconut milk, it has a rich flavor and tender texture that sets it apart from ordinary bread rolls. Its signature half-moon shape makes it ideal for stuffing, whether with eggs, cheese, or a full breakfast sandwich. Warm from the oven, coco bread is both comforting and versatile, making it a beloved morning favorite across the island.
SALT FISH
Yes, you read that correctly. Saltfish is common in many Caribbean islands – any time of the day! From the Dominican, Bacalao combines salted cod, mashed plantains, and beans for a well-rounded, traditional taste of the morning. Why is saltfish so traditional? For starters, it’s pretty inexpensive and a reliable source of protein. Next up is the versatility – from plantains to cassava, saltfish pairs well with nearly any starchy breakfast side dish.
PORRIDGE
Across the Caribbean, porridge is the ultimate comfort in a bowl. While it’s similar to oatmeal in the States, island versions often go beyond plain oats, incorporating ingredients like bananas, peanut butter, cornmeal, or even hominy for extra flavor and texture. When combined with bananas or peanuts, porridge becomes a naturally high-fiber, high-protein meal that keeps you full and energized throughout the morning. Warm, lightly spiced with cinnamon or nutmeg, and sometimes sweetened with condensed milk, it’s a nourishing and deeply satisfying way to start the day.
BREAKFAST DINER CLASSICS
Of course, you can’t have a breakfast diner in Nashua without having the traditional American classics! From egg and cheese sandwiches to corned beef hash and homefries, omelettes to pancakes, Caribbean Breeze is serving it all! There is even a menu for younger guests featuring waffles, eggs, and French toast.
