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.

My 1st stop after arriving to Montreal, hungry & tired. The staff was superfriendly, the smokey taste of a veggie burger was an excellent twist. Highly recommendable place.

Waited 40 minutes for a burger & fries during a time when it was not busy (just before 8pm) & the fries were cold!

Also the fries taste like they have sugar on them.

Burger was okay, but when I ordered what they call a'5 napkin burger' I expect a very juicy burger. Not the case at all, but it was okay.

Also, unsure why this place is called a'smokehouse'. Didn't see a smoker.

Overall disappointing experience.

My wife had the chicken & ribs. The meat was falling off the bone. My daughter had a brisket sandwich & it was very tender & the drinks at the bar were perfect, overall highly recommend.

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

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.

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 😭

Delicious burger (5 Napkins), not overcooked, very tender, with melty high-quality cheddar. I liked the choice of sides (got double green salad which was a good portion). They were very accommodating about replacing the bun with lettuce, & even made me a sugar-free mojito, which I enjoyed in their cozy backyard terrace. Overall a good experience & excellent value.
