If you're coming with a larger group, best to call ahead and arrange seating. Friendly staff, great atmosphere for lunch / dinner.

Alabon Libon - Haitian Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

See all

If I could give NO STARS I WOULD!!! I was visiting Scarborough from the states looking for an authentic Haitian restaurant and came across this place... the reviews were mixed but I decided to try for myself. As a Haitian I know sometimes the customer service can be horrible although true about this place that's not my issue. When you first walk in it's hard to tell what the menu is... there's nothing listed anywhere so you have no clue what they are selling and there's also no prices. I ended up ordering a fish dinner with plantain and black rice. There was another man sitting and eating who was in deep convo with the woman taking my order who also wanted fish. After a conversation about there possibly not being enough fish to give me as a paying customer (the man seemed to be a friend of possibility the owner), they decided to give me my order. The meal came out and I was charged $50 for the single meal!! $50 CA DOLLARSSSSSS!!! Now I guess they can do what they want because there's no accrual prices listed! But $50 is ridiculous!!! And to add insult to injury it wasn't even that good! The plantain was hard like rock! Like it's been sitting there all day! The rice and fish had ZERO taste! It was a lot of money wasted! Not worth a penny if you asked me!!! The ambiance and set up is weird too... it's very dingy but again that didn't bother me because hole in the walls can have great food! This place is NOT that place!!! I will not be going back and wouldn't recommend! read more

I unfortunately had a bad experience at this restaurant. I am all about supporting my people, but sometime my people do not always receive constructive criticism very well. I was disappointed with the legume that appeared by smell and taste to be spoiled.I have contacted the cook within 30 minutes after it was purchased and informed her that the food was spoiled. She laughed and said she never heard any customer complained about a spoiled food that I must have dropped something myself to make it spoiled. Anyway, the food was spoiled and very pricy in my opinion. We literally threw the food away since it was spoiled,not to mention pricy. read more

Alabon Libon - GRIOT FRIED PORK - Haitian Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Pack your patience with this place! The food may be delicious, but it's overshadowed by chaotic order taking and sub par customer service. Called in my order approximately 45 minutes, before arriving and waited another 35 minutes to receive it. How can you take orders and not ask the customers name? Pure confusion at the front to hand out the food. The lack of competition in this area, has allowed this restaurant to take their customers for granted. They need to learn how to create an assembly line and assign each worker to a task accordingly. Do better Alabon Libon or you may suffer the same fate as restaurants that haven't made it through the pandemic. read more

I was so disappointed because I came here to eat some good Haitian food with my family and we were not even acknowledged! We came in and the man working there was in the back (preparing another order) and came to the front 10 minutes later. When he finally came, he ignored my family and I and spoke to another customer he knew (that came in after us). He kept looking at us but never said anything to us. I expected at least a "I'll be right with you" but he said nothing. He then went right back to the back of the restaurant without acknowledging our presence. My family and I decided to leave without ordering. The restaurant is already in a place that barely has parking space but we really wanted to go to support! Unfortunately I won't be going back. They should have more than one person working at a time and work on better customer service. read more
