I was introduced to this style BBQ around 8 years ago by a good friend. I was apprehensive about how this experience would go as it's mostly just meat. We took a share platter with all 5 meats. After the first bite, that instant tender, melt in your mouth, smokey meat hit my palate just right. That beef rib is the best rib I've ever eaten. This meal is not for everyone, but I can honestly say that if you like BBQ, try LATTUCA once in your life. If you like Texas style BBQ, this is the place to be. They also have a nice variety of alcohol to go with the meal.
Since going 8 years ago, I've tried to share this experience with other BBQ enthusiasts every chance I've had. The staff are very friendly & attentive. The owner is very down to earth & a great host. Even though he is extremely busy managing & trying to cater to everyone, he tries his best to cordially convers with all of his guests.
Thank you LATTUCA!

Not here everyone. Food safety concerns. We had diarrhea 30 mins after eating here...paying 45$ plus each for really small plates, & the serveuse chose to offer an outdoor seating in a cold day & didn't bring the correct order or come take the order fast enough when there were only 3 tables of clients. Another experienced lady came to lift the service level. The tip was set to 18% for the first serveuse ! & food was not even as fresh , seasoned, & enough. The old port needs a better steak place.

Made a reservation for 8, had to change on short notice to 10. Not a problem. Good was amazing & all the guests had a fantastic time.

We ate here on Oct 26th. The food was nice, a lot more expensive than a typical smoked meat shop. The menu is delivered verbally which I am not sure is necessary as the options are fairly typical BBQ options. Also the bathroom is quite ghetto. I feel when charging higher than average prices you should make sure the entire atmosphere is welcoming but the bathroom is extremely outdated & almost awkward to use.

Food was excellent! But the bathroom was highly dirty
I suggest cleaning it more often. Not a good look

We had to convert a dine-in reservation to a take-out because my ladies weren't feeling great. We got brisket & beef rib. The beef rib was delicious, but the brisket was amazing. So good my picky daughter would *not* stop talking about it. & I agree, it was utterly fantastic...it's no surprise it's won awards.
Beans were tasty, slaw was good, & the wife said the Mac & cheese was good. I'm a celiac & the meals came with separately packed Mac & cheese, & they kept one meal for me without.
Staff was lovely & helpful when I picked up. Will happily return in the future!

Nous sommes fan de smoke house & celui-ci vient de battre notre top 1 ! Cuisson de la viande est exceptionnelle ambiance très familiale, nous avons rencontrez le propriétaire & avons passer un bon moment avec lui au bar a connaitre l'histoire de ce petit restaurant qui est fort intéressante. Il ny a pas de menu car cest en quantité limité pour la viande ! & sincèrement on oubli les menu quand nous goutons a toute la saveurs des viandes!!! Je recommande très fortement ce restaurant & merci encore au propriétaire pour la très belle soirée 😊

Everything about this place is an absolute gem. The price put me off a bit, but it turned out being so worth it! Meat was fresh & tender, drinks were perfect, service was friendly & knowledgeable. Will be returning when I'm back in the area

It's a very restricted menu, but something new to experience at least. Waitress was extremely kind & service was quick even though it was busy.

Came in without a reservation & the owner was able to seat us because it was only my wife & I. He makes just enough food to cover the reservations but did accommodate us & I'm so glad he did. Best brisket I've ever had & the sides were perfect. I highly recommend & we will be back!

Very expensive. They don't have a menu, so you don't really know what to order/what they have & how much it costs. The service was so bad that the chef came out & told the table beside us that the service at the restaurant'was shit.' It opened at 6:00, & they wouldn't seat us because they had'so many reservations,' even though the restaurant only had 2 people in it. She said we could make a reservation for 6:30 - not sure how they expected people who were being seated at 6:00 to be finished by 6:30, but when we did come back at 6:30 the restaurant only had 4 people in it. It was completely empty. The food was fine, the sides were ice cold & since there was no menu, it was kind of unclear what food we were receiving. The decor inside could use a lot of work. I find it hard to believe they have won many awards for their food. While the meat was fine, it was nothing special. I would not recommend nor come back.

We ordered the sharing platter for three people - two beef portions & one pork rib. The portions were huge! I'm someone with a really big appetite, but I couldn't even finish it.
The flavors were absolutely unforgettable. The smoky charcoal aroma combined with the rich, juicy meat was just incredible. Every bite was packed with flavor & left a lasting impression.
This is truly authentic BBQ, both in taste & in portion size. It's a great place to come with friends or family, & one that I would happily return to. Highly recommended if you're looking for delicious, hearty barbecue in Montréal!

Went as a large party for 8 with a reservation. Service was beyond terrible. Took 20 minutes before we got any water, 20 before they took our drink orders, another 20 before we got to *hear* the menu since they don't have one. We had ordered the brisket, the pork ribs, & the chicken for both sides of the table. When we did get the food another 30 minutes after ordering, it was only half of our party's food, & then another 10 minutes before the other platter arrived, with one of the meat orders wrong to boot. They claimed that the wrong order was them swapping out the ribs for the pulled pork so that we'could try out the whole menu'. When it came time to get the bill, they had to take pictures of the bills since their receipt printer was not functioning.
Every single part of the sit down experience was one failure after another up until the very end.
Extremely disappointing with the experience. If you want to try the food, I'd recommend getting it to go or through a delivery app, though I'd still be wary of the price on those.
