L'Auberge Restaurant

I don’t normally leave reviews, but I felt this experience needed to be shared. I was really looking forward to trying this Haitian restaurant, but unfortunately, the service I received was extremely disappointing. From the moment I walked in, the staff were rude and dismissive. There was no greeting, no effort to make customers feel welcome, and when I had a simple question about the menu, I was met with attitude rather than assistance. It felt like I was bothering them just by being there. While I understand that everyone can have a bad day, the level of unprofessionalism I experienced was unacceptable — especially in a customer-facing business. It completely took away from what could have been a great cultural and culinary experience. I hope the management takes this kind of feedback seriously and works on improving the customer service. Good food means very little when the environment is unwelcoming.

North Miami Haitian Food Staple! They definitely with the times too because most Haitian restaurants even if you call in advanced they’ll still wait for you to get there to start making it, not L’Auberge! You call, show up 15-20min later and you’re foods ready! Delicious cuisine like Griot, Legume, Haitian Spaghetti & more! You’re greeted with warmth and welcome and feel right at home.

I recently discovered this restaurant through positive reviews from friends and decided to travel from Kendall to experience it firsthand. I must express my satisfaction as it exceeded expectations. Every dish, including the griot, oxtail stew, pate kode, and legume, was impeccably cooked. My personal favorites were the griot and pate kode with fish. Despite the distance, the delectable meals make the drive worthwhile. The affordability of the menu surprised me positively. The restaurant offers a pleasant atmosphere, serves excellent authentic Haitian cuisine, and the service staff is respectful. I eagerly anticipate my next visit.

Meme was very nice, professional during our visit. We were impressed by the way she assisted an elderly man by encouraging him to eat every Tosha passed by him. Keep up the great job Meme.

Let me tell you , the customer service here is excellent 👌. The food is even better. Make sure you leave a tip for the quality service.

Food no flavor at all bullshit price. Turkey was hard and chicken was flavorless. Rice flavorless. $7 meal for $20+ dollars very average in taste. Chef Creole is not far at all for a third of the price and FULL OF FLAVOR.

This is the spot; they have not disappointed me so far. Fair price and tasty food. I highly recommend this place for some Haitian food.

I Ordered The Fried Turkey Dinner Today and It Looks and Tastes Like They Used The Leftover Turkey From Thanksgiving. It Was All Dried Out, Semi Burnt, And Tough As Nails I Couldn’t Eat It. Just A Waste Of Money!!! Oh The Rice (black rice) Was Nasty Also.

L'Auberge never disappoints! My go-to dish is the Legume with white rice, and it's easily one of the most flavorful and satisfying meals I've ever had. The legume is a hearty blend of vegetables slow-cooked to perfection, paired with fluffy white rice and bean sauce, sweet plantains, and savory potatoes. Every bite is packed with bold Caribbean flavors and comforting textures that feel like home. You can truly taste the love and tradition in every forkful. Whether you're Haitian or just exploring the culture, this dish captures the soul of authentic Caribbean cooking. I'll keep coming back for it--and bringing friends along too!

I am just going to say that I plan to return next Sunday and I'm bringing my friends and family. This is the highest compliment that I can give a restaurant. Period.

I took a "vegetarian" friend visiting in town here. For sure, they'd have something for him. And they did. It was a simple vegetable stew served with tostones and loads of rice and beans. I ordered the kabrit (goat) stew, not to be missed, also with tostones and a huge portion of rice and beans and a nice salad. Both were delicious. And my vegetarian friend? I guess he was on vacation, he had to have some of my goat! Were the workers friendly? Well, you had to ask for help, then they were attentive and very good. My friend has returned home, but my husband and I intend to return. I'd like to try their soup Joumou some Sunday.

I come here every Sunday to get my soup! The soup is delicious!! as a frequent Caribbean restaurant visitor I can say the customer service here is very good.( if you know, you know.) the staff is friendly, very inviting and always accommodating. The place is always kept in good shape and is very clean.

Horrible service I thought I didn't have any pickliz and they corrected me but then I asked for extra and they just kept waving me off very disrespectful and I would never go back to this establishment ever.

The best food and service. By far one of my favorite Haitian restaurant. If you're in Miami this spot has to be on the list.

We come here Saturday mornings for the delicious fish soup!! It's nice and spicy and will clear your sinuses up real quick. We pair the soup up with their homemade lemonade. I would love to give them 5 stars but unfortunately the workers are not friendly and welcoming and THEY DO NOT TAKE CREDIT CARD OR APPLE PAY!!

Excellent Food! An absolute must if you're into Haitian food and if you're not it's about time you get into it. This place isn't a fancy restaurant, it's a good food chill spot. Easy parking out front m

the chicken pâté brought me out of a depression lowkey. it was absolutely delicious and worth the $$. reviews live up to the hype, including service and taste #visitNOW

They were very efficient plus the food was good!! They also gave good portions. I highly recommend this little gem.

Ordered on doordash today 9/15/2024 may the lord bless this establishment. Every bite i took out of the chicken pate i felt my soul rise and i felt closer to god. i ate the beef pate and i was hugging jesus christ. the djonn rice had me singing gospel songs. i am an atheist but this food was making me trust in god and bring my friends and families closer. may the chefs and owners know everlasting love in their lifetime.

You can never go ring with this place, their food is really good! The only thing I'd recommended for them to do is season their white and green pwa the same why they season their black pwa so all pwa's can have flavor. Their service team is always kind and nice but if you do not speak creole please bring someone who does because they will not speak to you in English just because you speak it. After all, this is a Haitian restaurant and you cannot be mad at that. The ambiance for the most part is relaxed, calm. They play music for their customers that's not overly loud. I love that. It's a chill vibe in there. Give it a try, you won't regret it.

Horrible service. I walked in and sat down, ignored and no one greeted me or took my order. Then I went up to the counter and they pretended they didn't speak English so I had to use a translator. My food took forever as I watched people that came in after me get their order. Then here's the kicker, my fried goat came out extremely over cooked... tasted like I was chewing tires. They're lucky my phone died because I was going to call my Haitian husband and sister in law to curse them out for trying me. Don't go here if you don't speak creole. Awful awful experience just trying to support another black business.

So I decided to pick up some Haitian food today and went with Legume ( mashed mixture of eggplant, cabbage, chayote, spinach, vegetables and beef). It wasn't too salty and was highly flavored. The rice on the other hand was over cooked. The plantains were okay, I just have a preference and like them with a little crisp to it. The sos pwa (black bean soup) taste great. This was a decent spot to get Haitian food if interested.

Horrible service. pa gen bon sèvis menm pinga nou achte la . Yo pa pran ka ou. Ou pale pesonn pa reponn

This is one of the best Haitian Restaurant in N.Miami. The foods are delicious and customer service is very polite and respectful. I ordered the fried fish that came with fried plantains, slices of peppers, onions and some condiments. The fish was seasoned well and it tasted very fresh. I also had some legume with rice and beans. The legume was tasty with various vegetables and chunks of beef. Again, it was seasoned well and most importantly, it wasn't salty or overpowering with salt. If you are in the N.Miami area and looking for a great place to get some Haitian foods, head over to this restaurant. Trish

They do not take cards. Don't want to pay the credit card machine fee. They charged 12.00 for 4 legs of fry chicken, rice and plantains. They short you on The salad.

My sister ordered some soup from here that was very salty...however their Haitian Patties were pretty good so I decided to go back to get some more. The customer service was TERRIBLE... one of the ladies not knowing if I spoke Creole asked her fellow co workers whether or not I was deaf. This is unfortunate. I grew up with my family expressing how Haitians don't have the best business practices but wanted to show support to my people anyways and they're not beating any of those allegations. Customer service is everything...the food can be mid but if the customer service is great it makes you wanna come back. They're food is just OK but that customer service ....They'll never see my face again.

After a long day and you are not in the mood to cook but in the mood for food that smells and feels like what your momma made you, then give L'Auberge a try. I come here regularly to order take-out. I only order take-out so there's no review here for the service. I'm rating entirely on taste and quality. Our 'go-to' regular dishes are: Stew chicken, Stew goat, Griot, Legume and fried chicken wings. All dishes are served with either white rice or rice and beans/peas and plantains (you can request sweet plantains or fried green plantains) On other days we order their whole fried fish that's served with veggies and plantain. I suggest you pack some patience. When ordering takeout, most customers are ordering take out as well and the wait can be a little long (more than 20 minutes at times) but we're all the kind of customers that don't mind to wait for food that's cooked to order. Hot, fresh and delicious combinations of flavors and spices. And the best part, just 2 orders can feed a family of 4 easily. You can't beat the price of their dishes that can feed that many mouths. It's one of the best Haitian spots on the block.

I hate to give bad reviews but we had to wait 50 minutes just for 4 to go meals and all of the meat we ordered was way too drunk and hard (could barely chew it) idk if it was an off day but I was very disappointed. The rice and sos was all we could eat!

The food is on point and good customer service from the ladies. I definitely recommend

Their food is really bad and i has a bad odor. I asks for my money back they "manager" want to argue with me. Please be very careful

Good Haitian Food. I had the oxtail, conch stew, and griot. Food: The griot (~9) was a little too dry, but the seasoning on it was okay. The conch stew had great flavor and a healthy amount of conch (~15). The oxtail (~11) was tender, well-seasoned, but too oily. With each of the main dishes comes a salad, crispy plantains (which were great!), and either white rice+beans or red rice and red beans. The food was overall very worth, given the low price and how much stuff they give you. Service: For the service issue that people mentioned, there are about 5-7 people behind the counter, so you'll find someone who speaks English (plus you have the menu in front of you, just point to the ones you want). The person taking my order tried her best to help me get what I want, and fast too! Overall, totally recommend!

Some of the best Haitian food you'll ever have. Home cooking style! Authentic style!

Take out meals during the pandemic. Fried snapper and oxtails. Accompanied by rice and red beans, plantains and side salad. The food's appearance and taste were great and satisfying. However the cost of this cash only establishment was way to high. The cost of $45.00 is why I tend to only taste these places and visit once every six months and not make them essentials to visit weekly or monthly. Portions were also small with just four oxtail vertebrae; disappointing for $25.

I've been to several Haitian restaurants in Miami, and I have to say that is the best and most consistent I've been to!!! My favorite meal to get is the boulette(fried meatballs) or griot(fried pork). Does suck that they are cash only, but they have pretty good service and consistency compared to a lot of other Haitian restaurants.

I've been to this restaurant twice that my boyfriend referred me. My first food was good made. I'm not that type of person who complain about unnecessary things. Only because I was so ready to eat the food that iam now disappointed. Last night I bought a LAMBI with rice apparently the LAMBI sausage has to much LAY on it, can't even eat it. What an expensive menu to not take time to make it right. hopefully that doesn't happen again next time.

Food is the closet thing to a home cooked Haitian meal... fresh and authentic with great service!

This place is one of my favorite Caribbean take outs in Miami. All of the dishes I've had here have been robust in flavor and continues to be my go-to spot when I don't want to cook and want delicious Haitian cuisine. I would of given them 5 stars based on the food alone, but I must mention the that the service needs to improve. On numerous occasions I've called my orders in ahead of time, been told that the food would be ready for pick up in 20 minutes but still had to wait an additional 15 minutes before the food is actually ready. I've experienced attitude from the servers as well as witness it happen to other customers. Be aware that all of the servers do not speak English, most of them speak either French or Creole. When they realize that you don't speak those languages you'll get the rolling eyes or the sigh on frustration. This also is a cash only restaurant, no cards of any kind. Now on to the food which is why I keep coming back and ordering from here. My top 3 dishes here are; the Grio (fried pork chunks), Fried Whole Fish and the Conch & Shrimp in sauce with Cashews. The Griot is seasoned perfectly and fried just right. Not over cooked which would make it tough and chewy, nor is it under cooked. The Fried Fish is a must have, fresh and amazingly seasoned and fried to crispy perfection. Not over cooked & dry. The stewed Conch & Shrimp with Cashews is the bomb dish, the conch is super tender and the cashews are melt in your mouth goodness. All meals are served with your choice of rice & beans or white rice, fried plantains and salad. If you choose the white rice they will also include a cup of Sos pwa which is a smooth velvety black bean sauce. It's hot fire!! Me and my family have tried almost every dish L'Auberge has to offer and none of them have been a disappointment. I think you can't go wrong with the food being that they offer so many dishes to try. Whether it's the fried meatballs, stewed turkey, spinach legume, boiled fish, stewed goat, fried turkey or stewed chicken they are all very good dishes that are packed with the flavors of the Caribbean. If your into a little heat for your dish be sure to order the Pikliz (spicy pickled relish) that compliments all dishes they offer. On Sundays if you're early they also give a slice of cake with your order.

For the past 10 years every family vacation to Miami has at least 2-3 nights of this restaurant included. I've observed that L'auberge is a very well oiled machine, service is on point and the food brings me back to my days in Haiti. The rice is soo good that you don't need meat or sauce to go with it! If you want to feel like Royalty order the fried fish! The fish is so massive that a puny, measly, styrofoam platter would not do it justice! It comes in an aluminum tray adorned with fried plantains and an onion and pepper garnish! I really wanted to take a picture of it on my last trip but I couldn't resist the urge to dig in Happy eating! Until next time Miami!!

I really enjoy Haitian cuisine, particularly griot and fried beef, so after driving by this nondescript several times and observing the fact that the restaurant was always slammed, decided to stop by today for a late lunch. I was starving since I hadn't had breakfast, so decided to start of with an order of alka -- malanga and cod fish fritters -- which I had never tried before. Perfectly cooked, and with a bit of heat from the peppers incorporated into the filling, these were a wonderful way to make their acquaintance. Of course, I chose the griot (fried pork chunks), with rice and beans, fried plantains, and piklis (spicy cabbage salad). I cannot stress enough how tender, well-seasoned, and perfectly cooked the griot was. DELICIOUS. Fried plantains were also well-cooked and plentiful, while rice was decent but a bit bland. They serve the griot plate with a side of ox tail sauce which amps up the taste of the rice. Piklis was perfect! Hot, but not overly so as is the case with other Haitian eateries I've frequented. Another notable difference between L'Auberge and other Haitain restaurants is the fact that service is PHENOMENAL. And I do mean PHENOMENAL. My entire meal with appetizer, drink, entree, extra piklis, and a side of rice to take home for my leftover griot, was only $12.75. It doesn't get much better than that.

I went to this Resturant for the first time food really was not that good the rice was scorched and the griot was overcooked I was very disappointed

Amazing food friendly service everything our group ordered was delicious Only thing is they they only except cash. But definitely worth stopping at an atm for. Haitian black rice was superb best in Miami!!

Let me start by saying the ONLY reason they're not getting 5 stars is because the parking isn't ideal and it's a cash only spot. We had the fried whole fish and man oh man was it good. It was so deliciously crispy. Seriously people it was perfect. We went for lunch and it had a fair amount of people there to dine in but the impressive part was the amount of people for take out. It was a constant in and out. I don't speak Creole but my boyfriend does so that was good. If he weren't with me though I think I'd have been alright ordering. Okay but back to the fish.. we ate the ENTIRE thing, eyes and all (my boyfriend said it's a must)! All that was left was the bones. The macaroni they serve with the salad was bomb too. We will definitely be back for more!

Mwen renmen laubeege restaurant like fellow bon manje yo Sevi byen yo kobran ye like trè bon .

Best Haitian Food in North Miami! Portions are HUGE and the prices can't be beat. Love the fried fish and the fried chicken. Oxtails are good too. Every dish comes with rice and salad and tostones. And try the pumpkin soup made fresh on Sunday mornings, the fish soup on Saturday's and the mushroom rice on Friday afternoons.

One word "favoritism" I like the food there but they take way too long to get your food ready. They'll serve those they know first. Like today I ordered and an 45minutes- and hour later my food is still not ready and the people that came way after me ordered more food in front of me ( I only ordered fried turkey and rice) and "somehow" got their food before me. I do not plan on coming back. They do this very often and this was the last straw.

Our group went on a Sunday night and it wasn't too busy. I would highly recommend the oxtail stew - it's really soft and flavorful. Other people in our group got the pork and chicken -were a little dry. The prices were reasonable and our server was friendly. Would definitely recommend visiting!

This place was absolutely amazing I have yet to find a place that can beat them. No place so far has had the food tastes delicious as this place. Everytime I look at the pictures my mouth Waters. Sometimes I think about hopping on a flight to Miami just to eat here.

One of my favorite restaurants in North Miami. When there's nothing to eat at home, always good to go there. I always call and pre-order. Foods ready between 25-30mins. Reasonable pricing. Can always dine in. Ambient environment. All in all, Good Place.

I was in Miami & was craving Haitian food and came across this place. Service was good, food was fresh & tasteful. It seemed like a popular location because it was crowded when I went. Prices are reasonable. Parking is a bit tight.

My brother, Donal, brought me here and I really enjoyed the food. Don't expect to find any parking, but the food is worth a trip.

disgusting customer service and the food was horrible nasty food that smelt spoiled and nasty people working there very rude i dont see how this place has high reviews and the lady got mad with me because she doesnt speak or understand english

The food here is okay compared to all the other restaurants in North Miami. The women employees are rude and they all lack customer service! I spoke to the manager and nothing changed, this place could also use a good renovation. Disappointed, we can do better

Yesterday for father's day, although I am not a father, my daughter wanted to treat me to this restaurant. Now I've eaten there several times before, but yesterday I really didn't like the atmosphere. What I observed was a site for sore eyes. The servers were extremely rude, my order was not right, cold, and not only that, this one server named merline was trying to over charge this customer 16 dollars for a meal that was obviously 8 dollars. their food are usually ok, but yesterday, I didn't see the customer service it was lacking in such a tremendous way I wanted to barf. I hope that they will evaluate themselves and their workers.

First off let me say that their food is 10! Absolutely amazing. I'm never disappointed with their food. But! Their customer service is disgusting!! And I'm calling one person out in particular named Valerie. They're very rude and disrespectful. I only tolerate it because my mom loves their food, but after today I'm not going back. If you don't speak their language you have to wait. And this is my 4th time going through this. Once again I had to wait 20 minutes for an order that was placed 1 hour prior. Everyone who spoke Creole was served before me. I walked in and asked for Valerie, by name, her co worker spoke to me in creole. I politely told her I don't speak creole. I already knew what was going to happen after that. I'd have to wait. And boy did I! No one helped me. Valerie served 5 other people and continuously walked past me knowing I specifically asked for her. I had to call my mom TWICE for her to tell anyone that her daughter was there for a pick up. Finally the manager saw that I was getting ready to call my mom for a third time and he asked What did I order. As soon as he said that Valerie said "Joyce pick up ready." Are you kidding me?! I asked for her when I first walked in, she saw me and blatantly ignored me, but when her manager says something all of a sudden my order is ready?! Their customer service is absolutely horrible and they are rude! Word of advice, bring a Haitian friend with you so you can receive better customer service. 5 star food, 1 star customer service. So disrespectful.

i eat sometimes at other restaurants, but my favorite one is l'auberge. they have good services and the staff is very nice.
