I had not eaten anything all day, and was really looking forward to grabbing a nice meal tonight. Since I've been craving carribbean (hatian to be specific) lately, I looked up places online and decided to give Le Bistro 2.0 a go! Going inside, the place was pretty quiet, and I was able to place my order quickly, however the wait was a little long than I anticipated. For dinner, I ordered 1x griot complete to go and a side of the macaroni au gratin. Moving on with my review, I was really appalled as the photos and reviews online seemed to be flowing with positivity, but when it came down to the main event it was not good. First off, THE WHOLE MEAL WAS $34. Now, I know costs have gone up across the board, but I've never paid more than $15 for a plate of griot VERY PRICEY. As for the food, the griot had a lot of bones and was dried out. The Dijon rice was cooked ok, but pretty lack luster in terms of flavor. The tostone and macaroni salad (probably the highlight of the meal) tasted alright, but came in very small quantities. HOWEVER, the worst of the meal tonight though SHOCKINGLY was the MACARONI AU GRATIN. I don't know how you mess this up, but the pasta sauce and cheese on top had a sour sauce that made my stomach queasy afterward.. Moreover, the staff didn't seem very warm, despite my attempts to make small conversation. Overall, I was very disappointed with my experience tonight at Le Bistro 2.0 and would give it a no go as my final verdict is 1/5 stars. read more

Such a hidden gem in Boca!!! The flavors are authentic, and the service is fast and friendly. I love supporting local restaurants like this.

Went inside and worker was not very nice. Kinda just stared at me like why am i here and they were mopping like we werent in the restaurant. Otherwise the food was very good. Would recommend to try and the atmosphere was a nice little small ambient place. read more

I'm so happy to have this restaurant so close by! This is my go to spot for Haitian food. They have provided me many a delicious lunch or dinner. I always order the stew or fried turkey with rice and beans. The flavors are amazing especially if you add a little pikliz for extra spice. Portions are huge as well and I always have leftovers. Since COVID this is only to go so make sure to call ahead or order through an app. read more

Le Bistro 2.0 - Stew turkey - Haitian Near Me - Boca Raton, Florida

So happy there is a Haitian Restaurant in Boca. It's located perfectly in a plaza away from heavy traffic so you can run right in and out. The food has yet to disappoint me. I have been there twice and a lot of my friends have also gone over and ordered different items to compare. I wished they had bakery items like patties and stuff. It would also be nice to have the UBEREATS app actually work when I want to place a delivery order. I have tried to order from here many times on the UBEREATS app and they show up as closed in the middle of the day. I think once they get a good groove figured out, they should be busier. They also cater which is awesome. read more

Best Haitian food in Broward HANDS DOWN! The food has so much flavor in every bite. The wait staff is attentive and they have a great attitude. Everything is cook to order so it may take a while for the food to come out but it is so worth the wait. It's a small restaurant with a few tables. Everytime I go I never have issues getting a seat. The young lady that works the counter during the day is very pleasant. They feed you well and treat you well. I'm so happy I found this place. It's close to my house and I go very often. I have tried the fried snapper, Turkey tassot, and griot. Excellent quality, large portions, worth every penny!!! read more

Le Bistro 2.0 - Shrimp and lobster combo - Haitian Near Me - Boca Raton, Florida

Been coming here for awhile now and recently placed an order for fried Turkey, giro along with beans and rice and I most say love what they have done with the place. They now have tables to where you can casually eat and enjoy your food. And speaking of the food it was delicious definitely my go to when mom is away for Haitian meals. read more

Allergic reactions can be fatal --especially when it is caused by an allergic reaction to an ingredient that wasn't supposed to be there. I ordered a platter of legume with No CRAB because I'm allergic to shellfish. I clearly expressed that to the lady who was placing the to-go orders. This restaurant makes two versions of legume. One with seafood and one without. The one with shrimp and crab is more expensive. To make a long story short, I took a bite of the legume and had an anaphylactic reaction and had to use my Epipen. Many people don't seem to realize that these small lapses can mean life or death to a person with food allergies. My epipen saved my life. I notified the restaurant about the situation. Although the male staff was sympathetic, the lady was not. She blamed me for not checking my food and called me a liar. She said I never told her about my food allergy. She was upset and had an attitude. I asked her to speak to the the male owner and she refused. My life was endangered. I'm suppose to be the one upset! I am giving this restaurant a one star because of the overall professionalism of the staff and the lack of special care to protect their diners from consuming food they are allergic to--both for the sake of their diners' heath and for their own reputations. I do not recommend this restaurant to anyone. read more

Le Bistro 2.0 - Crab leg in the legume, when I told the cashier I was allergic. I could have died. - Haitian Near Me - Boca Raton, Florida

The food was good but I was shocked at the price one meal was $35 rice salad fried plantains with salmon shrimp. Its In a random strip mall in boca hole in the wall vibe with 5 star restaurant prices. I wouldn't go here again The price on the menu was $15 and as soon as I asked for the menu she warned me about the prices not being the same but it doubles That was very strange to me. anyway if you come here just make sure you get the price up front because that was a ridiculous experience read more

This tiny little Haitian restaurant on the site of a beat-up pizza place in a run down shopping center in west Boca is getting all the accolades, especially from Pulitzer Prize winning food writer Liz Balmaseda at the Palm Beach Post. And for good reason, chef/owner Greg Romulus knows how to cook. Haitian food doesn't get a lot of sit down restaurant attention because most places are in blue collar neighborhoods where Haitian Americans can live affordably, and virtually all of them are just simple takeout places. This is more of a Haitian date joint, as Romulus has taken his experience cooking at local Italian restaurants and has created a hybrid Haitian Italian experience. He's creative even with his traditional dishes which are vegetable and carb focused and usually have simply prepared proteins. It's next level Haitian. Don't expect a quick or fast paced experience. There's only 20 seats in a very tight space and he's doing all the cooking so it all comes out sequentially. There's just one girl serving and it has a lot of takeout customers. But it's worth going because the value for food quality is substantial. My wife and I started with Legume with Jumbo Shrimp, ($16). Five massive perfectly cooked jumbo shrimp on top of a stew of root and green vegetables, similar to a ratatouille. Came with semi sweet fried plantains and Riz Djean Djean which is a mushroom flavored rice with Caribbean peas. Loved this. Can be ordered vegan or with beef, chicken or shrimp. Also ordered Griot Simple which is deep fried pork chunks, which is probably considered the national dish of Haiti. It's similar to Cuban Masitas but doesn't have the same intense garlic sour orange marinade. Instead, the zing comes from a side dish -- "Picklez" which is a mayonnaise-free vinegary coleslaw that's amped with a lot of habanero chile. Seriously spicy. I felt this dish was a little dry but still very tasty and a worthy rendition. Totally want to come back and try more stuff. It's great that we are getting decent Caribbean food in the area now, along with Rootz Bar & Cafe in Tamarac. read more

I was so excited to find out there was a Haitian restaurant near my home. I usually have to wait until I'm at work in Broward county to get authentic Haitian cuisine. I found the restaurant via Instagram. The food pics looked absolutely amazing! I visited about 3pm on a Friday, I walked in, and wasn't greeted. I had to ask the young white female dressed in her cut off top, exposed stomach, PINK branded tights and flip flop sandals whether I could seat myself. She then says: "you wanna eat here?" Well obviously, if I wanted takeout I would've just ordered at the counter. Anyway, she took my order and sent it through the window into the kitchen. About 15 minutes later I hear a woman yell out to her. The young girl then places a phone call and I can hear her say: "she told me to call you, because there's people waiting on food"! Ummmmmm what?!?! So there was no cook at the restaurant when I ordered? Why wasn't I told anything?! She then tells the woman in the kitchen: "he says he's on his way". I then tell the young girl, that had I known there was no cook, I wouldn't have ordered. She assured me that he was close and it wouldn't be long. I decided to wait since I was off that day and didn't have anything else to do. 10 minutes later I hear a male voice in the back kitchen, another customer who had been waiting prior to me then says: "oh he's here, I can hear the chef". Nonetheless, another 15 minutes and my food arrives. I ordered the griot dinner with a side of red beans and rice since it wasn't included in the meal. It looked pretty good, however, it was nothing special, nothing about the plate excited my taste buds. It was at best; average. I imagined a bust of flavor seeing that the chef advertised as being a Haitian restaurant with a twist of Italian flare. I asked the girl for an extra side of rice, apparently I bothered her because she had to finish her text message before she requested the side of sauce. I finished the rice, but left most of the pork and 1 1/2 pieces of my bannann (plantain) on the plate. When I was done, I asked the young girl for my check, she responded with: "you want me to bring it to you?" Wow! I told her not to worry and I'd come to here, it would be quicker so I could hurry up and leave. Overall this place has a lot of potential, customer service just needs A LOT of work. I'm sure had the food not been rushed it would've been much better. Sadly though a first impression is a lasting impression, and I'll stick to eating my Haitian food back in Broward county. read more

This was good Haitian food. I'm sure we will be ordering delivery from here in the near future. (Edit - I forgot to post this review, my house has been here twice since, without me!) I like the fact they have Italian food on the menu, but didn't try anything Italian this time. I will come back and give a more detailed review when we order again... read more

My first time dining at Le Bistro. It's a small quaint eatery. Not a full restaurant so large parties would probably not be recommended. Definitely a local neighborhood spot to get good food. I came here on a Sunday night for dinner with my friend and fellow Yelper Kim A. She's been before and raves about it so I came along to see the hype. The food was like when you go to your mothers house and she throws down in the kitchen and everyone comes over to hang and eat. That's the vibe I got. It was so good tasty and fresh. My first time tasing Legume...man it was good. I had the fried snapper fish that was cooked to perfection. We had a side of Mac&Cheese which was good but a little too cheesy for me. I wished the Pikliz was a tab but more spicy but still had a little kick. Was such a good time at this little gem. Will for sure be back. read more

My cousin and some friends recommended this restaurant for me to try because everyone knows I love fresh food and Caribbean is a plus. I love my Caribbean people but we need to do better with customer service. I worked in customer service my whole life and maybe I just expect the best service because I give my all. Get orders correct and always double check and come over to see if your customers need anything. My fish ead good and I loved my legume and macaroni and cheese. I dont mind waiting for good when it is fresh so that was a plus. I have had hatian food before and I love the black rice but this one was different. Not bad but not the original. Pretty far from me so may not visit again but all and all it was good home food. Very quaint and nice place to eat. read more

Finally I found a Haitian restaurant that have beautiful plating and amazing food. Food Every dishes that I had was simply delicious, you could tell the food was made it love. Griot was tender and flavorful Fish was well seasoned with the right amount of acidity Fried Goat was a hit Fried Plantain was super good Location Situated in a small plaza, it's a easy place to find. Big amount of parking space. Restaurant is pretty clean. They do hAve a variety of tables and chairs where you can eat your food. Customer service The whole staff were cordial, they didn't rush me while I was reading the menu. Food came pretty fast. Overall the whole experience was good and if craving haitian food that's the place to go. read more

My sister was spending Mothers Day with me & was craving some really gray Haitian food. Being as she lives in Miami & has her pick of Haitian restaurant down there. I told her so far the only Haitian restaurant I've found in Boca that comes close to Grandmas & mom's cooking was Le Bistro 2.0. I was introduce to this delicacy 1 year ago and I just can't get enough of it. read more

If you're one of the 30k+ followers of Le Bistro Instagram account you probably salivate at how amazing the dishes look and how great the plating was. After seeing the constant postings i decided the next time I headed home to Miami I would make a stop to Boca Raton and satisfy my cravings. The location was not easy to find as it's squeezed into a plaza. I ordered the Griot Complete and a side of Macaroni Au Gratin. When I opened my plate I was disappointed that it wasn't the fancy plating that's al over the social media page but as long as the food is good right? Wrong. My plantains were cold and just not good. Took a bite into the griot and wondered if my taste buds were playing tricks on me. Being of Haitian descent. That was the most disappointing griot I've had. Very under seasoned and just plenty of fat pieces and not enough meat. The Diri jon jon tasted old and again under seasoned. The pikliz was an insult to all pikliz lovers. Well maybe the macaroni will save this? Wrong again. I don't know what was in that plate but it was basically macaroni with melted cheese on the top layer. Awful. I don't know if i got a bad batch or maybe the cook only cooks meals for the instagram page. But if you're from Miami don't waste your gas or money. There are plenty of other Haitian restaurants that are well worth in our area. This ain't it. read more

This place has amazing food! Don't get me wrong. However, like any other Haitian Resteraunt, customer service is horrible. With no exaggeration! I try to support my people but I think we miss some point of positive customer interaction. The lady, which refused to give me her name asked me what I ordered a total of 5x and after each time mentioned that it's almost ready. Second time I waited an hour. I'm my self to blame for going back. I've learned my lesson and just will venture to somewhere else read more

Le Bistro 2.0 offers both Haitian and Italian cuisines under one roof which are all full of flavor and beautifully presented.

I am lucky enough to know the delight of Haitian cuisine, especially the dish known as griot.

Le Bistro 2.0 - Haitian Near Me - Boca Raton, Florida

Went here today to check this out. Arrived at 12:15pm and it was closed. Sign on door says they open at 11am. Not going to do well if they can't keep their posted hours. Well, the owner contacted me and apologized for not being open. He said he had a medical emergency and did not have time to post a sign on the door that they were closed. I'll try this again in a few weeks and, hopefully, be able to actually try the restaurant. Don't want to leave a 1star review since they were dealing with an unforeseen emergency. read more

The food is great and there is even a Poke Stop nearby. If you've ever had Haitian food then one understands patience. I had the Griot Simpe was very tasty with nice presentation. The portion size is honestly enough for two. I wanted more Pikliz though but other than that, I recommend. The Macaroni is cheesy goodness with every bite. The sauce for the Oxtail, so flavorful. The Passion Fruit juice is very sweet but with and extra cup of water, one can water it down to their liking. I'll be back for the Tassot. read more

Great service and great food. Definitely should stop by for a bite. Good to see Caribbean food in Boca.

Visited on a Wednesday afternoon from NY. The space was not packed; however, I did observe that there was a lot of pickup orders. A welcoming space with friendly service. The food was delicious and I appreciate the African music playing while we enjoyed our food. Wish I could take Le Bistro with me to NY! read more

Tried the griot simple pretty good only complaint is wish I had had more gravy for the rice it was good!!! Glad I found a solid Haitian spot finally!!! Only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is because they forgot my plantains but my boyfriend got them ... I would def try them again read more

Le Bistro 2.0 - Griot simple - Haitian Near Me - Boca Raton, Florida

We have ordered here frequently and we normally love this place but the last order was not good. We always order Griot... this time almost the entire order was fried fat, literally no edible meat. We understand that pork butt/shoulder is a fatty cut but to have a whole order of inedible fat is unacceptable. The cook and owner should know and care. $15 for fried fat and rice is completely unacceptable read more

My son and I ate here this evening. I ordered the fried snapper and my son got the griot simple. Both dishes were EXCELLENT, well seasoned and fresh. The portions were generous. We were served by a young lady that gave incredible customer service. She welcomed us warmly and was very attentive. They've made a lifetime customer out of me! I'll be sure to tell my family and friends about this place. read more

This is my first time having food from this place. The diri djon djon was all right but mine is better (IJS). The griot was good just needs a tad more seasoning. When I think Haitian food, especially since I'm Haitian, I think seasoning and favor. The pikliz was disgusting. I am highly disappointed that a Haitian restaurant cannot make pikliz well. It will be an option when I don't feel like cooking and want real food. Better than the fast food restaurants in the area‍. I will give them a second try one of these days and update my review accordingly. read more

Le Bistro 2.0 - Haitian Near Me - Boca Raton, Florida

I've eaten here several times. It's a little hidden but right off SR7. The food was overall tasty but service was slow, which was fine because the food was piping hot. The food has been consistently good and portion sizes are generous. I've recommended to other friends and family and all have remarked the same: the food is great and generous. It helps if you call ahead to place the order. The menu is online but the hostess can help with your order too. I'd recommend the turkey and djon djon rice. read more

This place have the worse customer service. You need to make your employees take a mandatory customer service course. My sister informed them that she was allergic to seafood like she always does when she eat out. The cook removed the seafood from the legume without understanding that you can not cook legume and seafood in the same pot because the remaining of the seafood is still in the legume. My sister had no idea. When she got home, she started experiencing shortness of breath and slowly started turning pale. We hurry administered her epiPen which saved her life. When she called the restaurant to make them aware of their actions, the manager blamed her, which is disgusting. She almost died because her staff failed to follow instructions. My sister said she was allergic. She didn't have to go into detail what her symptoms are if she eat seafood. She said no seafood. What instructions you could not follow properly? I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone who have any food allergies. read more

Thank goodness for yelp or I would not have known about this little hole in the wall. Serving sizes were adequate. Flavor of the food was very good. I had griot and Djon djon rice. My daughter and I both enjoyed. Their piklis is hot! Adds great flavor to the dish. My son had the fried chicken and loved it (he's tough to feed). Will be going back for the food. Ordered take out because of the pandemic. If there is anything that needs improvement it is the dining area. Everything needs deep cleaning for dust and oil and walls need repair. Decor is very outdated. I don't think we'll be eating in. read more

This was my third time traveling 30 minutes to enjoy food at Le Bistro. It's a small place with about 4-5 tables but you have the option to dine in or takeout. I always call ahead because I always order the red snapper. I recommend if you want to try the snapper you call ahead too because they cook with love and it's always fresh. My family and I have tried all the Haitian food on the menu from the griot, tassot, macaroni, various rice and meatballs. We're planning to try the Italian side of the menu soo read more

Excellent food. Griot is tasty and not overcook. It's great to see a Haitian restaurant in Boca
