Boukan took off during the pandemic, serving traditional Haitian cuisine out of a tiny space in the Beaches neighbourhood, soon becoming a staple of the local community. As the need for more room grew, Boukan began an expansion.
On September 4, the new space at 774 Danforth opened its doors. Boukan prides itself on being far more than a restaurant; it’s a space for artists to showcase their work, for community members to congregate and socialize and for people to make meaningful connections.
Address: 774 Danforth Avenue, Toronto
