Review Summary

Le Boucan delivers a lively, vintage-style smokehouse experience with a welcoming terrace and a dog-friendly vibe, where generous portions and tender meats such as brisket, pulled pork, ribs, and chicken wings sit beside comforting favorites like poutine, while cocktails are praised and the staff is described as friendly and efficient; the overall atmosphere is casual and family-friendly, and the place is often considered affordable for the quality, with reservations recommended due to its small size. While most visits are highly positive, a few experiences mention a warm dining room, slow or imperfect service, or occasional inconsistencies such as underseasoned coleslaw or a dry brisket. Still, Le Boucan is widely seen as a must-try for BBQ lovers in Montreal, offering strong smokehouse vibes, big flavors, and standout items like the pulled pork poutine, ribs, and tender meats, along with dessert options and a solid cocktail program.

I brought two young men who are always starved for protein! I was surprised to see them full for the first time in a while!

I went last Saturday with my wife, the service was excellent & fast. The waitress was very sweet. The place is cute. I was a little bit let down with the food. It just wasn't as good as I expected. Overall a nice experience.

Service absolument inacceptable. Malgré une réservation, nous sommes arrivés avec seulement 6 minutes de retard à cause de la neige, & notre table avait déjà été attribuée à un autre groupe, visiblement installé depuis plusieurs minutes. Lors d'une visite précédente, la situation avait été inverse : nous étions arrivés à l'heure avec une réservation & avions dû attendre plus de 15 minutes à l'extérieur.

Des imprévus peuvent arriver, mais l'incohérence dans la gestion des réservations, combinée au manque de considération & d'amabilité du personnel, laisse une très grande déception.

Good service, nice small place. Generous portions, the 5 napkin burger was excellent. Everybody should try the bruxel sprouts as well. I would really, really LOVE to give this restaurant 5 stars but the ribs we ordered were so dry... Big disappointement

Some of the best Chicken wings I've had in Montreal. The dry rub is absolutely amazing!
The ribs & brisket were both sort of dry & cold. Really Not the best.
Service was amazing, quick & super friendly.

Hadn't had a burger like that in a long time. Our guests had ribs & a pulled pork poutine that looked & tasted outstanding. Highly recommend it.

Très surprise de ce petit restaurant! On s'attend habituellement qu'un smokehouse soit plus grand. Cet endroit a un beau décor style vintage qui est très agréable. Les prix sont abordables pour la qualité de la bouffe. La bouffe est excellente: poulet hyper tendre, poutine au porc effiloché excellente, brownies au bacon chaud, tendre & gouteux! Miam, c'était tellement bon que j'ai exagéré. J'étais tellement pleine. Service courtois & très rapide.

Personnellement j'ai fait affaire avec le service de traiteur & j'ai été enchantée. Le service à la clientèle à été efficace & courtois & de plus, la nourriture était divine! Mes invités & moi-même avons adorés. La viande est tendre & goûteuse, les portions était généreuses & le tout, livré pile à l'heure prévue. Je vous le recommande. Merci encore pour ce magnifique repas!

I love BBQ. This place has great BBQ. It's a definit must try.
With a wide range of items it was difficult to pick just one
main dish. So, I picked one & my husband picked something else. I chose the brisket sandwich with a side of french fries & coleslaw. The brisket was tender & juicy. The bun, seems like it was a brioche bun, had tons of brisket with a thin layer of pickles. The french fries were homemade & seasoned to perfection with a little bit of a spice. The coleslaw however crunchy, have absolutely no taste. Some salt, pepper, & even some vinegar or mayonnaise would have been very helpful. Next time we eat there I will not order coleslaw. My husband had the pulled pork sandwich. Again the brioche fun was loaded with pulled pork & a light barbecue sauce. He selected as his two sides, potato salad & brussel sprouts. Everything that he had was absolutely delicious. I have to try his stuff too.
Service was amazing. The staff was so friendly & helpful. The only thing I wasn't crazy about was inside the restaurant was a little too warm for my liking, so we sat outside in the back under the trees.
Would I go back? Absolutely I can't wait.

Nous avions réservé une heure & demie avant l'heure choisie, & lors de notre arrivée, le restaurant n'était pas prêt à nous recevoir. La serveuse a malgré tout été en mesure de nous placer.
Malheureusement, notre soirée ne s'est pas améliorée à partir de là. Le service n'était pas agréable. La serveuse n'était pas particulièrement patiente.
Il est à noter que la friteuse ne fonctionnait & que donc, il n'y avait pas de frites (& poutine), nachos & ail de poulet. Lorsque nous posions des questions pour nous assurer de ce qu'il y avait, elle semblait à court de patience.
Par la suite, nous avons attendu 35-40 minutes pour la nourriture. C'était correct sans plus.
Il faisait très chaud dans le restaurant.
Nous l'avions choisi en raison des avis, mais nous avons eu une expérience décevante.
