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 have suffered food dreams for over 7 months... nothing can come close to the food experience you will have here. It will ruin everything else. Don't do it. My mouth is watering thinking about the brisket, I want to cry, I've never felt this way about food before. I live seven hours away, why can't you have a toronto location 😞
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.

Pretty nice, standard bbq place with limited options but good taste. The food is above average. We were 4 people & had several different dishes. I had a cheesy pasta that was satisfying. Unfortunately the waiter took a long time to take our orders & it felt like she was ignoring us. No problem, when the food arrived it was all good.
Nothing bad to say, the playlist is spectacular & immaculate. I've had just about everything on the menu out of pure excitement for the menu items, & devoured, so exceptionally phenomenal. Our new favourite staple restaurant
I went last Saturday with my wife, the service was excellent & fast. The waitress was very sweet. The place is cute. I was a little bit let down with the food. It just wasn't as good as I expected. Overall a nice experience.
Service absolument inacceptable. Malgré une réservation, nous sommes arrivés avec seulement 6 minutes de retard à cause de la neige, & notre table avait déjà été attribuée à un autre groupe, visiblement installé depuis plusieurs minutes. Lors d'une visite précédente, la situation avait été inverse : nous étions arrivés à l'heure avec une réservation & avions dû attendre plus de 15 minutes à l'extérieur.
Des imprévus peuvent arriver, mais l'incohérence dans la gestion des réservations, combinée au manque de considération & d'amabilité du personnel, laisse une très grande déception.
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
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.

Très bon restaurant avec bonne ambiance & bon service! On a mangé des ailes de poulet, la poutine & les côtes levées. Tout était excellent & les portions sont très généreuses!
Très surprise de ce petit restaurant! On s'attend habituellement qu'un smokehouse soit plus grand. Cet endroit a un beau décor style vintage qui est très agréable. Les prix sont abordables pour la qualité de la bouffe. La bouffe est excellente: poulet hyper tendre, poutine au porc effiloché excellente, brownies au bacon chaud, tendre & gouteux! Miam, c'était tellement bon que j'ai exagéré. J'étais tellement pleine. Service courtois & très rapide.
Personnellement j'ai fait affaire avec le service de traiteur & j'ai été enchantée. Le service à la clientèle à été efficace & courtois & de plus, la nourriture était divine! Mes invités & moi-même avons adorés. La viande est tendre & goûteuse, les portions était généreuses & le tout, livré pile à l'heure prévue. Je vous le recommande. Merci encore pour ce magnifique repas!
The meat was tender & delicious, the terrace had such a great vibe, & I loved that it was dog-friendly. The servers were all so friendly & cheerful, which made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend!
