Taken together, reviews depict Lattuca Barbecue as a standout Texas style smokehouse in Montreal with generous portions and a focus on tender, smoky meats like brisket and beef ribs that many visitors consider among the best outside Texas. The sides such as mac and cheese, coleslaw, and baked beans are frequently praised for flavor, though a few comments note issues with temperature or consistency and some meat being slightly dry or overly salty. A verbally delivered menu and the absence of a fixed menu are repeatedly mentioned, along with occasional service flaws, wait times, and higher prices, especially for sharing platters. The atmosphere is described as warm, casual, and welcoming with attentive staff and a clear passion for pit cooking, drawing locals and visitors from far away who often say the experience is worth the trip. Overall, the brisket and beef ribs emerge as the standout items that keep guests returning, even as some visits remind that peak times can impact service and value.
Best barbeque in Quebec! The most delicious pork & beef ribs, brisket, pulled pork & chicken. The meats are absolute show-stoppers & mouth-watering! You'll even be delighted by the sides - amazing Mac n cheese, beans & coleslaw. Fantastic & quick service too We absolutely love coming here! Hats off to the Chef!
Service was good, atmosphere was good for bbq pace, meat was mediocre. Beef rib was dry & portions were very small. Only good part of meal was beans, & that portion was too small too.

Some meat cuts like beef rib was dry & the chicken had the greasy skin which is a weird choice. It felt a bit reheated unfortunately...brisket was really good & service was really sweet! Also got a sweet tea with bourbon which was good & affordable.
Beef brisket is one of my favourites when it comes to smoked meats/BBQ. The last time I was in Montreal pre pandemic in 2019, I visited Lattuca so I had to have it again during my visit in September 2023.
Somehow, it didn’t have the same deep smoky delicious flavour it had before but don’t get me wrong, it was ok, not bad, just a little drier than before (maybe a fluke this time? so I’m still giving it a higher rating 4* due to my good experience years ago).
The smoked beans were great & so was the coleslaw, not too sour. Can’t go wrong with their sides, pretty good.
The Brisket & pulled pork was worth the drive into the city. The meats was tender, flavourful & good portions. The Mac & cheese was okay, the coleslaw was good just needed a bit more. The Beef Ribs was insanely large & delicious 🤤.

I had the beef rib & pork ribs & the wife had the chicken & brisket. Sides were Mac n cheese, beans & coleslaw. Simply put, the BEST BBQ in Montreal! I’ve lived in FL & eaten BBQ across every state in the south including the famous Salt Lick BBQ in Austin,TX & I can assure you that this place is the real deal! 10/10
The food was ok the beef rib didn't have very much seasoning, but was cooked good. The drink I ordered came out made incorrectly & when I asked for water or napkins they were never brought until we asked multiple times. The service was not great the waiter did not come over to ask if we needed anything else or if the food came out ok. When it was time to pay we split the check & when one of the party's paid she came over & tried to rush us to pay as if we were going to leave without paying. We were not offered to go boxes & did not get them until we paid & when we were packing up the food the waitress stood right next to us staring to see what we were taking home. Also there was not enough food left in the back to get a full portion of pork ribs even though when we came in we were told the the point of making a reservation was to insure there would be enough food for all parties. Over all I would not come here again & I feel as though there are better barbecue places in Canada.

WOW....i want to preface my review by staying that i make pretty darn good American BBQ & I have had American BBQ all over the US. Lattuca BBQ was excellent & just as good if nit better than what i had. The gigantic beef ribs were ridiculously good, a beautiful smoke ring, the brisket was melting in your mouth, the pork ribs were cooked to perfection & had the correct pull & the pulled pork was equally delicious. You go not need any BBQ sauce when eating Lattuca BBQ, the flavor of all the meats holds its own! We tried the three sides & all were equally good. Already planning my return with some friends very soon!
El beef rib estaba genial, supersabrosos y se deshacía, pero el brisket algo seco, los he comido mejores. El personal muy amable. La mesa no muy limpia y no la limpiaron al sentarnos, con resto de servilleta de los anteriores comensales. Servido en una bandeja dep plástico con papel, no en plato.
