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.
Absolutely had a blast here! We went in around 11pm, we had three female staff & one male staff working. Our server gave us the platter to share with the different meat options & it was beyond what we were expecting (& we we went in with Hugh expectations to start with) There servers were fantastic to myself & my team throughout the night, consistent & quick with response even though they had plenty of full tables. This is my new favorite spot. I am from Ontario, & I would do the drive for a weekend just to hit this place, that is how fantastic of an impression they left on us.
Absolutely amazing BBQ! The beef brisket & beef rib were both incredible - juicy, tender, & full of smoky flavor. Easily some of the best I've had in Canada. The sides were great too, especially the baked beans & mac & cheese. Portions are generous & perfect for sharing. Great vibes, friendly staff, & worth every penny. A must-visit for any BBQ lover in Montreal!

Tried the barbecue beef & smoked chicken. The beef was quite greasy, & while flavorful, the rib's crispy edge was too hard to chew & overly salty. The smoked chicken turned out a bit dry.
Service was average - about 20 minutes wait for the order. On the bright side, the country-style background music created a relaxed & pleasant dining atmosphere. Decent experience, but not quite memorable.
This is the spot yo, absoloutely fantastic the servers were courteous & knowledgeable, the owner was awesome, & the food was absoloutely phenomenal - beef rib, brisket & chicken, sides of Mac n cheese & coleslaw. Marg was top notch. When I come back, I'm making a point to go here everytime!
Absolutely the best smoked meat I've ever had. We were visiting from Saskatchewan & came here at the advice of others that have been here as well. The food is amazing, it was the best meal we had during a 4 day stay in Montreal. The staff were pleasant & the owner is a gem of a person. Super nice guy. You HAVE to eat here!!!!
J' ai adoré mon expérience, la qualité de la viande ainsi que la saveur des chacune des choix ainsi que le concept BBQ Texas me ont émerveillé. L' un des meilleurs restaurants que j' ai visité!
Una deliciosa casualidad.
Pasaba por vieux port y de casualidad encontré este restaurante. Una carne tan rica, sabor delicioso y la carne súper suave. Sumado al excelente servicio de la chica que me atendió, si algún día la vida me trae de vuelta a esta ciudad sin duda regresaría.
