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.

Don't sleep on ordering the smoked chicken wings! & the pulled pork poutine is such a large portion that you should consider splitting it. Service is excellent & the cocktails are too

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.

After spending a whole month all over Canada, this is hands down the best smokehouse we ate at. We had a platter with pork ribs, pulled port, smoked chicken, & a dish of salmon. Everything was just perfect. Big portions. Highly recommended.

Smelled disappointment from the second we walked in, or more accurately didn't smell any of the titular boucane. Served tepid water & told no room on terrace in spite of our birthday reservation. Waited 45 minutes for our drinks, mine had particles floating in it from what I hope was just a dirty glass for my 14$ single shot of bourbon. Waited another hour for the food, so had plenty of time to appreciate the poorly lit & dirty bathrooms. Eventually were given a seat on the terrace & made to stand there while they cleaned it. Brisket burnt ends as others have said are not burnt or ends or glazed, dry & taste boiled. Chicken dry, underseasoned, & definitely not or poorly smoked (where even is the smoker in that miniscule kitchen), ribs were fine but laughably small, sides underseasoned, BBQ sauce watery & sugary, didn't bother with dessert. Staff were disorganized & management seemed to sit around drinking. All in all a disappointing excuse for a so called smokehouse which it clearly is not, just a mediocre, cramped BBQ joint. Nowhere near worth the money & definitely not worth the ridiculous wait. After working in the industry for many years I know a poorly run place when I see it. Do yourself a favor & hard pass.
