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.
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.
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 😭

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!

Amazing BBQ. The chicken & rib combo the 100% the way to go. The cocktails were perfectly made, the dessert (bacon brownie!) was delicious, & the service was top notch.
We ordered their baby back ribs full rack, half smoked chicken, beed brisket & buttermilk pie. Everything was absolutely delicious.
The meat was perfectly cooked & incredibly juicy.
fFnd parking can be a bit tricky.
Nous sommes arrivés à 14 convives, le service a été absolument impeccable, notre serveuse a rendue notre expérience plus qu'agréable, gentille, drôle, poli & magnifique elle nous a servi comme si nous étions chez elle. La nourriture était tout aussi excellente & très abordable. Nous avons tous été servis en même temps. Les enfants ont adorer leur expérience aussi. L'ambiance y était chaleureuse. Merci !
Le décor & le service est magnifique! Les employés sont de bonne humeur & de bonne compagnie. La présentation des plats est belles & le prix est proportionnel. L'ambiance est à tous les coups très réussite. J'y suis venue plusieurs fois pour des lunch d'équipe, & la poutine porc effiloché est incroyable. Je recommande le cocktail Old Fashioned Boucan pour l'effet wow.
