    This place serves Haitian food, which is a nice change from the usual "Caribbean" (i.e. Jamaican). Had the small pork fritay & added on baked macaroni pie. The pork was quite tasty. It was fried & moist & tender enough. The coleslaw was spicy & refreshing: a little tart & crisp. The flat fried plantain was ok. The long plantain was better: crispier, with more taste. The gravy was pretty tasty. The fried dumplings were decent. The macaroni pie was pretty good, but it was a pricy addon ($8.19 - not on the menu). Banana beignets with mango sauce: the sauce good & the beignets decent; they were moister than the average beignet (maybe that's the Haitian style or because they were banana). They were dusted with cinnamon sugar & a little crispy.

    Wow ! Fantastic food and wonderful service. This was my first time at a Haitian restaurant and really loved the experience. I like how you get to try a bit of everything with the platters. I did the vegan platter which comes with various appetizers such as plantain , fried dough, pickled slaw etc. My dining partner did the chicken platter. Our server JJ was very friendly and explained the menu quite well. They are a new restaurant (since December 2019) and seems to be quite popular. For what you get, the dishes are very reasonably priced. I really liked the St Michel appetizer given the combo of savoury fish with sweet plantain 5/5. The vegan balls had a unique aesthetic but tasty albeit a bit on the dry side 4/5. Small restaurant so it might be hard to grab a seat but we snagged a couple stools by the window. Will definitely be back to sample more from the diverse menu and support a wonderful local spot !

    Incredible food -- I highly recommend the fritay platters because you get an excellent variety of flavours and textures in a nice meal-sized portion. The ambience is lively but casual, so it's conducive to sitting down and having a nice dinner and relaxing or getting up and mingling/dancing. Great establishment!

    This place came highly recommended during my visit in Toronto. The food here is absolutely phenomenal I mean the beignets were literally the best I've ever had, and they were vegan, as much of the menu is. The customer service was great, matching the quality of the food. The ambience felt very authentic. If you are in Toronto, stop by here, it will definitely be worth your time.

    Boukan is definitely a must. The +30 min drive was so worth it! It's a small place but it definitely felt like home. The Art Deco is perfect and I love the idea of the signing walls where you can write your your appreciation. The staff A++ The service was great, the waiting time was perfect. The food came hot and fresh! Now the food!!!!!!! It spoke to my heart! Thank You! It was amazing, delicious, yummy, well seasoned, it was perfect. Everything was GOOD! Can I get an Amen, Alleluia!!!! I'm craving it right now! I'll definitely go back again and again! Thank you Boukan!

    Where do I even start. I will start by saying that this was my first time trying Haitian/ Creole cuisine and I was literally blown away. My food was absolutely delicious. The pork was tender, the goat meat was tender, the wings were delicious, and everything was well packaged for takeout. I was sure to ask my Haitian friends if the food was authentic and they confirmed that it was most definitely was. The ambiance is amazing, they also display beautiful artwork as well and the restaurant is very clean. I also want to add that the customer service is great as well the chef helped us choose the best options from the menu and he was very kind. Will I be returning to Boukan? HECK YEAH!! 5 star all around for sure. It won't disappoint- promise.

    Fritay box. Wings, fried banana, beignets, plantain. Yummmm

    Words cannot describe how delectable every plate of food is at this restaurant!…read moreBut I'll try... It's a small location, but does have ample free parking. If you're coming with a larger group, best to call ahead and arrange seating. Friendly staff, great atmosphere for lunch / dinner. If you haven't tried Haitian food yet, then don't delay..... this is the place to go! Traditional Haitian cooking at its best Some of the items on the menu: Griot - Fried Pork Shoulder Fried Chicken / Fried Fish / Fried Beef Legumes - Vegetable stew with meat Banan - Fried or Boiled Green Plantains Various types of rice Various salads Weekends you can get brunch items. If you need company to eat here ... call me!

    If I could give NO STARS I WOULD!!! I was visiting Scarborough from the states looking for an…read moreauthentic 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!
