One of Toronto’s most beloved restaurants, Boukan, recently hosted it’s grand re-opening. The Haitian/French Creole restaurant merged their menu with Edible Bliss 11 to create a one-of-a-kind dining experience on the Danforth.  Boukan head chef and co-owner, Amir Senat and co-owner Ricardo, as well as Edible Bliss 11 owner, Chef Amanda Hamer are serving up a Haitian-Caribbean fusion menu in a art-filled 85-seat restaurant.

“Despite opening only a few months prior to the pandemic, we have been able to build a loyal community and significantly grow our business,” says Boukan head chef and co-owner, Amir Senat. “This is a monumental moment for the whole team and we’re thrilled to be collaborating with Chef Amanda.”
