Le Boucan se concentre sur des techniques de fumoir traditionnelles pour offrir des saveurs intenses grâce à des viandes cuites lentement et des spécialités fumées au bois de hickory. Le menu propose du porc effiloché tendre, de la poitrine de bœuf fondante et des côtes levées succulentes préparées avec des épices maison et des sauces signatures. Chaque plat principal bénéficie d'une approche culinaire rigoureuse où la fumée constitue l'assaisonnement fondamental. Au-delà des options classiques de barbecue, la cuisine assemble des burgers garnis de steaks de bœuf de haute qualité et de pains artisanaux pour garantir un profil robuste. Les accompagnements tels que les cornichons frits croustillants et la salade de chou traditionnelle offrent un contraste texturé aux protéines riches. L'établissement privilégie une dévotion directe à l'art du fumage, maintenant un niveau de qualité constant.
Le Boucan est largement reconnu comme une destination chaleureuse et décontractée pour ses viandes fumées authentiques, de nombreux clients louant la tendreté des côtes levées, le goût des ailes de poulet et les portions généreuses de poutine au porc effiloché. Le restaurant offre une atmosphère intime au décor vintage ainsi qu'une terrasse arrière très appréciée, souvent citée comme un lieu de choix pour s'installer. Bien que la grande majorité des convives souligne la qualité du service, la fraîcheur des produits et des prix justes, quelques visiteurs ont mentionné des irrégularités occasionnelles concernant la cuisson des viandes ou la rapidité du service. Dans l'ensemble, l'établissement demeure une adresse incontournable pour les amateurs de barbecue à la recherche d'une cuisine réconfortante dans un cadre accueillant et convivial.
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.
Although there's a pretty terrace out back, the food took over 3 hours & even after waiting hours they only then told us things were out of stock. For a smoke house to be out 3 of their options seemed ridiculous. No pulled pork, no jackfruit, no nachos, no Brussels. Very limited options but only to be told once we'd ordered them & waited for them. Our drinks even took forever to come & the waitress seemed very sarcastic about it all. Wouldn't return even though the food was ok when it came but nothing amazing.
Not a fancy place at all, but Food is just plain DELICIOUS! We ordered Ribs, Chicken Wings & Shrimps, all satisfied our taste buds totally! I will definitely come back next time I am in Montreal, & TOTALLY RECOMMEND!
What a sad disappointment. Soooo many things that it would take forever to list. The Beef brisket burnt ends are not burnt & not ends .. just small chunks of brisket with a splash of sauce on them. Not even close to being crispy or burnt & definitely not ends. This was at one point, a shining star restaurant for southern style bbq. Sadly, now it's no longer a star but a frowning moon. We would not recommend this restaurant.
Loved this place, the food was amazing. My hubby & I took the Pit boss. It was enough for 2 adults & still had leftovers. The kids loved the pulled pork poutine & Mac & cheese. Wasn't too big on the dessert, but was still quite good. The music was really nice & enjoyable. Parking was super hard to find, but will be coming back. Unfortunately I didn't take photos of the food since I was more into eating for 2 hehe :)
Delicious burger (5 Napkins), not overcooked, very tender, with melty high-quality cheddar. I liked the choice of sides (got double green salad which was a good portion). They were very accommodating about replacing the bun with lettuce, & even made me a sugar-free mojito, which I enjoyed in their cozy backyard terrace. Overall a good experience & excellent value.
Wow wow wow & wowwww! Le service était excellent & accommodant, la serveuse était souriante & était très sympathique. La nourriture était succulente. Je suis un grand amateur de côtes levées & elles étaient parmi les tops que j'ai mangé. La cuisson était très bonne, la sauce parfaite & les côtes étaient charnues. Mon seul regret est que j'habite à Québec & je ne pourrai pas revenir aussi souvent que j'aurais aimé. Mais je vais très certainement revenir!!
