About

Lattuca Barbecue functions as a specialized smokehouse focused on authentic, slow-cooked American barbecue techniques. The menu features premium cuts of meat prepared with traditional dry rubs and finished over hardwood smoke to achieve a distinct depth of flavor. Signature offerings include tender beef brisket, succulent pulled pork, and glazed ribs served alongside house-made accompaniments. The preparation process prioritizes prolonged cooking durations that break down connective tissues to ensure optimal texture and moisture retention. Guests encounter a straightforward menu configuration centered on meat-forward plates and classic sides designed to complement the smoke-heavy profile of the main dishes. This establishment maintains a functional atmosphere suited for focused exploration of regional barbecue traditions and bold, savory flavor profiles derived from meticulous temperature control.

Review Summary

Reviews for Lattuca Barbecue are highly polarized, centering on a debate between the quality of the food and the unique, sometimes frustrating, dining format. Many patrons praise the restaurant for serving what they consider to be some of the best smoked meats in Montreal, frequently highlighting the exceptional tenderness and flavor of the brisket and beef ribs as superior to versions found in traditional American barbecue hubs. Conversely, significant criticism is directed at the lack of a printed menu, the reliance on verbal offerings, and a forced family-style sharing concept that some guests feel lacks transparency regarding pricing and individual choice. While many visitors enjoy the casual atmosphere and the personal touch provided by the owner and staff, others report inconsistent service, issues with cleanliness, temperature control of side dishes, and an overall experience that feels unorganized or overpriced for the portion sizes provided.

Overpriced for such laid back BBQ. They charge an extra $16 for a shared beef rib that is 80% fat & bone. The smoked pull pork & brisket were good, but not amazing. We had a shared plate with three meats & two sides & just had water to drink, & the bill came to $100 with tip.

Update; we went to latucca bbq. Had exact same as before the beef rib, brisket, mac & cheese & beans. First off the brisket was so soft & packed with flavor. Beef rib was the same, juicy soft & tasty. Mac & cheese was a bit better but still mid. The second picture is at the restaurant

Got ours delivered. Hadd brisket, beef rib, beans, mac & cheese.
The brisket was soft & tender & was deadly. The beef rib had lots of meat, juicy, & tasty. Beans were good too but the mac & cheese was mid.

The best BBQ. Beats any place in VA, NC, SC, & St Louis. We keep talking about how good this place was after almost 2 weeks since we went there

Food: ❤?
Price: 💸
Unfortunately, if you like BBQ, you will enjoy this place & the food, but at what cost?

The portion is kind of small for the price: $36 per person for a'shareable plate' plus $8 if you want the beef rib. You can also get an individual plate, though I can't remember the exact price cause there was no menu & everything was told verbally.

In any case, if you DO want to get an individual platter to share (if you don't have that much appetite) tough luck cause have to pay a surcharge of $20. This makes no sense (in my opinion) & screams SCAM.

As someone who was told that this place is good & read the reviews, I wish someone has told me about this surcharge & maybe I would have avoided this place. 👋🏻

We made a reservation for the f1 weekend. We arrived earlier than planned & they were able to accommodate us (thank you!). But more importantly this was some of the best BBQ we've ever had!! Everything was so tender & melts in your mouth. We got a sharing bbq platter & each got our own sides. We were so full & still had lots of leftover meat that we could take home with us. We'll be back for sure.

Da italiano, trovare un posto così e delle persone così disponibili è davvero qualcosa che ti fa sentire bene. Il proprietario è Siciliano, abbiamo parlato molto ed è stato un bellissimo incontro. Il locale è bello, intimo e accogliente. Cibo incredibile ed è la scelta migliore se vuoi mangiare della buona carne BBQ a Montreal. Consigliatissimo! Anche lo staff è molto disponibile e simpatico. Sicuramente ritornerò.
