Offering wedding and event catering, SmoQue Shack in Gatineau, Quebec, is an iconic Ottawa barbecue restaurant, renowned for its slow-smoked meats and authentic flavours. Founded in 2011 at 89 Clarence Street in the ByWard Market district, it quickly gained popularity thanks to its commitment to quality and authentic barbecue.

In 2020, after nearly nine years in business, the restaurant closed its doors at the ByWard Market. However, the spirit of SmoQue Shack lived on. It continued to operate through locations within Senate Taverns in Ottawa, including on Bank, Clarence, and Wellington streets. In addition, a new location was established at 73 Boulevard de la Gappe in Gatineau, further expanding its presence in the National Capital Region.

The SmoQue Shack is also known for its catering service and food truck, bringing its smoked delicacies directly to events and gatherings. Their menu features dishes such as tender brisket, juicy pulled pork, and signature spare ribs, all prepared with passion and dedication.

Today, the SmoQue Shack continues to delight barbecue lovers in the area, offering a warm and tasty culinary experience that brings together friends, family, and flavours.
