Review Summary

Overall, reviews highlight Lattuca Barbecue as a standout Texas style smokehouse with generous portions and deeply flavorful meats such as brisket, beef ribs, pulled pork and smoked chicken, often described as tender and juicy with sides like mac and cheese, beans and coleslaw that add to the experience. The atmosphere is noted to be welcoming and family friendly, and the staff is frequently praised for friendliness and attentiveness, giving the impression of an authentic and exciting dining scene. A few criticisms address inconsistent service, no menu or verbal menus, long waits, and high prices for what is offered, with occasional comments about sides being cold or a dish not living up to the hype. Despite these caveats, many reviews say the brisket and ribs are superb and that Lattuca Barbecue is a must try for BBQ lovers visiting Montreal, often earning repeat visits and strong recommendations.

Best bbq in town, beef ribs falls off the bone & the brisket...to die for. Don't see how people gave this less than 5 as it's one of the best BBQ I've had in my life. Can't believe it's my first time at lattuca but can't wait to have it again!

My partner & I eat a lot of BBQ, we are always trying BBQ wherever we travel. We've never had as good or possibly better BBQ than what we get at home in California, until now. We had the pulled pork, pork ribs, & brisket at Lattuca with mac n cheese. Everything was delicious, flavorful, & tender. My partner said it may be the best brisket he's ever had.

We ordered the brisket plate & it was really delicious. It is a perfect way to have our last dinner in Montreal. The crew also are very friendly & offered great options. I highly recommend the restaurant for anyone visiting Montreal.

Jolie resto, très bon service, brisket & côte très bons. Aucun menu donc explications plus ou moins claires de la charmante serveuse. En revenant l'addition, quelques questions sont demandés, le propriétaire vient nous faire la morale sur ça façon de fonctionner, offre aucune explication & nous traité de clients indésirables, nous mets dehors & menace d'appeller la police, avec une arrogance jamais vue. Une situation qui aurait pu être réglée avec une explication claire. On a jamais eu une telle situation dans un restaurant. On a quitté le resto avec stupéfaction sur l'attitude du propriétaire.

Best Brisket & Ribs I've ever had. Can't fault them for being short staffed , common in all restaurants as of late.

First time having brisket as such, it was so so good, the meat was very flavourful & tender. The service was A1 & our waitress was very cheerful & attentive. The sides were a little bit boring, & the drinks were very small & diluted. I would go back anyways.

Lattuca, quelle belle découverte. La côte de boeuf, les côtes de porc, le porc effiloché ainsi que la brisket servi avec choix de mac&cheese, fèves au lard & salade de chou le tout est fait maison 😋. La viande est succulente sa fond dans la bouche & que dire du goût qui est plus que parfait. Le tout préparé par John le proprietaire qui est d'un accueil chaleureux & que dire du service de sont équipe, si petite mais très efficace. Merci beaucoup John !

Nous avons pris les ribs de boeuf (incroyables), le brisket (le meilleur qu'on a mangé), les ribs de porc (délicieux), le porc effiloché (excellent) & le poulet, avec accompagnement de macaroni au fromage & baked beans: c'était un repas parfait. On y retournera, c'est certain!

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.

Service was excellent, very helpful & friendly.

I would say, one of the best places in Canada who sell brisket.
Juicy, tasty meat flavor.
In my opinion, if the smoking flavor can be a little bit more stronger I would give them 5?

I was really looking forward to this place. Unfortunately, it was nothing special. The brisket was very fatty, however, the beef ribs were delicious.

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
