Don’t ask us how they got a Haitian tap-tap in downtown Montreal, but it was indeed there for all to admire. In case you didn’t know, taptaps are joyfully-colored buses or pick-up trucks that serve as share taxis in Haiti.
During Nuit Blanche, this vintage Haitian bus was transformed in to a Haiti kiosk and rum bar, where snacks and drinks were served all evening (for an additional fee).
FUN FACT: Tap-tap’s literal meaning is “quick quick”

All the eventful Nuit Blanche action no doubt left Montrealers hungry. Thankfully, the “Terasse gourmande” could be found at the heart of the Place des Festivals.
No time for photos! Jennifer takes a bit of her chiken sandwich from L’Atelier d’Argentine, while it’s still hot.
Natasha about to dive in to a sausage sandwich from L’Atelier d’Argentine Kiosk.
Some food options included The Flavours of Haiti Kiosk, The SAQ Bistro and more.
We decided to make a stop at the Atelier d’Argentine kiosk for food.
We each enjoyed a sandwich (as did many others).
Bonne appetit!
Afterwards, while walking around we saw a ton of people roasting marshmallows and sausages over fire pits across the steps outside Place des Arts.
Visitors were able to purchase a bag of five marshmallows for a whopping $2.50.
