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.

Nous avons passé une très belle soirée. Mon smokehouse préféré à Montréal, la nourriture est très savoureuse côte de boeuf, brisket, mac & cheese 15/10!!!

Peut-être que le staff pourrait bénéficier d'une petite formation sur les vins afin de mieux conseiller les clients mais sinon le service était parfait

Meat was very tasty & service fast & efficient. Limited to what they are cooking for sides based on the day - being gluten sensitive especially. Chicken portion was tiny. Noticed they were turning away folks because of no ressies so if you want to come here make reservations! Value for money wasn't the highest.

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!

Tout simplement le meilleur brisket à Montréal & possiblement au Canada.
Les portions sont généreuses, le propriétaire John Lattuca est un vrai passionné & prend le temps de venir discuter avec les clients & de servir des viandes de la plus haute qualité.

Bravo pour la consistance de la qualité à chaque visite, merci pour l'effort que tu place dans le goût, la tendreté & la perfection de chaque produit.
Heaven is in the Old Port & the adress is 15 RUE DE LA COMMUNE OUEST, MONTRÉAL, QC H2Y 2C6

Thank you

Amazing Brisket, beef ribs & pork ribs. Staff was very pleasant.

If you want the best BBQ in Montreal, & perhaps Canada, eat here.

Well done John & the team. A truly wonderful experience. We will be back.

Le brisket & la cote de boeuf était absolument incroyable! La viande était extrêmement tendre & savoureuse. Meme les accompagnement, comme les « bean », était excellent. La service était bonne & rapide aussi. J'ai l'intention d'y retourner un jour!

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.
