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 in no reservation, 6 of us! They accommodated & service was excelent! Everyone enjoyed their meal! I had vegetarian pulled pork style meal (forget actual name) it was perfect! Sides are All amazing, loved the brussel sprouts too! Very friendly, fast, great food! Zombie drink- perfect! Love that they had veg options & good ones.
Deliocious BBQ ribs, excellent potato salad & other side dishes. While my dinner guest & I enjoyed our meal in a very comfortable nook at the bar we also had the pleasure of listening to some great rock & alternative music from the 80's & 90's. Would recommend Le Boucan for a quiet date night or family dinner or group of friends out for an extremely well priced & delicious dinner.
Accueil, disponibilité & amabilité des serveuses au top, bravo ! Mais cuisine pas terrible du tout, bien trop gras & jetez un coup d'oeil à travers le passe plat, c'est très sale ! Dommage, l'endroit paraît authentique... Modifiez vite... s'il y a un contrôle hygiène, ça risque de mal se passer...
We came for the ribs & were not disappointed! Fall off the bone & tender. The BBQ sauce was insane. Highly recommend the potato salad as well! The server was so nice & although she was brand new & still learning she had the greatest personality & for sure will become a great server!

J'y suis allé avec mon père il y a un mois & le staff était absolument fabuleux. Le brisket est out of this world, & le proprio est authentique. Hâte d'y retourner!
We had a wonderful time at this little restaurant. It is a diner-style spot where you walk in & enjoy the spirit along with the food.
The food was fantastic! You need to like BBQ. The pulled pork poutine was incredible as well as the veggie poutine option.
Super happy to have eaten here!!!

We went there mainly for drinks, but ended up trying the food as well. The cocktails are amazing, the food as well! & the atmosphere is super chill & friendly! Highly recommended.
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.
The last time I was there I was very surprised with the service. There was an Iranian waitress that was very rude, she was very insistent about taking our order & it felt like she was shouting at us & making faces, rolling her eyes up, while we were deciding & asking about the dishes... not coming back soon, I don't want to be treated like that
