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.
Came to the restaurant with my family. Had an amazing dinner. Great service very nice atmosphere small quaint little restaurant. Food was amazing. I had the five napkin burger, which was delicious . 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.
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.

Trying to discover new BBQ places around Montreal, found this one through Google search. Small restaurant but big flavours! Pulled pork sandwich was good. Potato salad was the best I ever had in a restaurant thus far. Wings were tasty on their own. I recommend reservations because it is a small place. I only gave 4 stars because the fries were ordinary. Other than that, a surprisingly tasty restaurant despite the decor & size! Will definitely go back!
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!
Went for dinner on a Thursday. The restaurant is very small so don't walk in like I did & instead get a reservation! Everything we ate that night was amazing. The brisket sandwich was one of the best I've ever had & the ribs were cooked perfectly as they fell off the bones. The buttercream pie at the end was very satisfying to eat & the perfect way to wrap up a delicious dinner.
Food was amazing I had a pulled pork sandwich which was hearty & delish. The chefs nailed it 👌🏻 the service was great. For 3 people we payed 100$ with a dessert to share. Definitely worth the money. If I had to recommend something it would be to get the potato salad side. 🤤
A simple, somewhat tired venue. Server was very friendly & efficient. Beef brisket sandwich was so-so. Although the meat was tender, I found the sauce too sweet & the bottom bun disintegrated into mush by the abundant sauce. The fries had a lot of little bits, & the coleslaw was served without any dressing, just shredded cabbage. The table water was served tepid, without ice to chill it. A rather disappointing experience.

They didn't write down our reservation. Gladly, it was empty, like, literally empty (us 2 & a group of 3 with a baby.
We sat down, & it took them 15 minutes to come get our order, while the other table was about to receive their meal. When she asked for our order, which was a glass of sangria & the pulled pork sandwich (both good btw, & the fries, OMG, so good.) - & we ordered the same thing - she asked us 3 times what our order was, always forgetting.....
Did I say that the fries were amazing? I'll say it again: MARVELLOUS fries. Crapy service. It was empty, how can you talk behind the counter & leave a table for 15 minutes...
If you have a lot of time to loose, go get some fries there.
Plusieurs plats intéressants, notamment leur sandwich au poulet à la sauce bbq blanche. Endroit très bruyant, musique à tue-tête. Réservation impérative.
Great comfort food. The small backyard terrasse is very intimate & inviting with a nice mix of shade & sunlight. The staff is friendly & the food is delicious. The menu needs to be updated as some items have been discontinued, but we were kindly informed of this & offered alternatives, which I thought was nice of our waitress. The chicken sandwich with white BBQ sauce was tasty & the chicken wings & BBQ mustard sauce were finger-licking good (literally!) The alcohol is a bit on the pricy side for the size, but I will certainly be going back for some ribs! They score extra points with me for the neat, original website.
