Review Summary

Le Boucan earns broad praise for amazing food, friendly service and generous portions in a cute, vintage smokehouse setting with a pleasant terrace that is dog friendly. Reviews highlight standout items such as chicken wings, brisket, ribs, pulled pork and poutine, with several diners calling the wings among the best they have had and others loving the tender meat and homemade fries, while a few dishes are described as dry or not as flavorful as hoped. The atmosphere is consistently described as welcoming with quick, attentive service and a casual vibe, though a couple of visits note warmer interiors or slower service. Reservations are often advised because the space is small, but overall the experience combines solid BBQ, good value and a lively, satisfying drinks and dessert lineup. In short, Le Boucan is seen as a reliable spot for comforting smoked meat with big flavors and a friendly team, appealing for casual meals, gatherings and outdoor dining.View restaurant profile

Review Summary

Reviews of Aylwin Barbecue celebrate deeply smoked meats, with the brisket sandwich praised for balance and flavor thanks to a well judged spice rub and smoke, and two sauces offered for choice. The Famous Aylwinator burger is described as sublime, and sides like mac and cheese and poutine are lauded for creamy textures and bold flavors. Ribs and smoked sausage are repeatedly highlighted as juicy and well seasoned, though a few notes mention small portions or a hammy texture in ribs or sauces that skew too sweet or too sour. Craftsmanship and the use of a high quality smoker are credited with consistently strong results across visits, and service is seen as fast, friendly, and efficient even during busy times. Overall, Aylwin Barbecue is regarded as one of the best BBQ options in Montreal, with many diners planning return visits and recommending the spot to others, while peak times may limit availability.View restaurant profile
