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.
Malheureusement ils étaient en rupture de stock sur le beef brisquet & ne proposaient que du porc. Nous avions réserver au préalable & nous sommes déplacer sans avoir été averti de la rupture de stock. Sur place l'accueil était très peu chaleureux , la serveuse a pris beaucoup de temps pour nous accueillir & pour finalement nous apprendre la mauvaise nouvelle. N'ont aucun menu papier , bref la nourriture avaient l'air bonne mais ce sera pour une prochaine fois avant de pouvoir rechanger la mauvaise étoile…
The smoked beef ribs, brisket, & pulled pork were the best things I ate all night, even after that Nuggets win. Honestly, I would be the best thing you order all week, so a cute guy should just say hello. You know you want to make that move.
Oh we talk about this place, this place deserves to be talked about! We came in for a Friday night dinner, it became packed pretty quick around 5pm. We tried a mix of things including beef ribs & everything was perfect. It was a great meal with great service were happy we had the opportunity to stop in & have a great meal.

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.
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. 👋🏻
This Guy can cook!!!!
Having tried BBQ across the US, Lattuca is top notch. The beef rib was fantastic as was the brisket. Nice portions, very tasty food, friendly owner & so close to all the attractions along the water in Old Montreal. Highly recommend Lattuca for a casual stop with amazing food.
The beef rib was pure heaven; comparative to bbq I have had in Dallas/Austin. Only criticism would be the lack of menus. My partner & I are both neurodivergent - we both need a printed menu or we're completely lost. The food & drinks were delicious though! We'll happily be back.
Best BBQ I've ever had - we had the beef brisket, chicken & pulled pork with mac & cheese, coleslaw & smoked beans. This is the best meal we've had during our trip to Montreal & already looking forward to visiting again. The service, experience & price point is unbeatable.
