About

Le Boucan focuses on traditional smokehouse techniques to deliver bold flavors through slow-cooked meats and hickory-smoked delicacies. The menu features tender pulled pork, beef brisket, and succulent ribs prepared with house-made rubs and signature sauces. Guests experience a focused culinary approach where the smoke provides the primary seasoning for every main plate. Beyond standard barbecue offerings, the kitchen constructs stacked burgers utilizing high-quality beef patties and artisan buns to ensure a robust profile. Accompaniments such as crispy fried pickles and classic slaw provide a textured contrast to the rich, savory proteins. The atmosphere emphasizes a straightforward dedication to the craft of authentic smoking, prioritizing the integrity of the cooking process over unnecessary stylistic embellishments to maintain a focused standard of quality throughout the menu.

I have suffered food dreams for over 7 months... nothing can come close to the food experience you will have here. It will ruin everything else. Don't do it. My mouth is watering thinking about the brisket, I want to cry, I've never felt this way about food before. I live seven hours away, why can't you have a toronto location 😞

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.

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.

I chose here because of its high score.
The napkins burger was delicious & it came with tasty fries.

But, the quality of Wings & brisket were not good. The brisket burnt end was dried & not tasty. Wings are very normal. For their portions, their prices were unfair & expensive.
Service was not good, very late responsive while only two tables inside were occupied & a few outside.
Old & dirty menu gives you bad feelings from the beginning.

I love BBQ, I adore it, but this time I felt regret that why I didn't choose sushi today 😭

Stopped in for lunch a few days ago & had a great experience.
We ordered the pulled pork poutine & brisket sandwich with cheese corn & potato salad. Poutine & & potato salad deserve a highlight because they were our favorites. Drink menu had great options & we loved our cocktails.

Overall, food, drinks & service were fantastic. Would come here again!
