About

Lattuca Barbecue functions as a specialized smokehouse focused on authentic, slow-cooked American barbecue techniques. The menu features premium cuts of meat prepared with traditional dry rubs and finished over hardwood smoke to achieve a distinct depth of flavor. Signature offerings include tender beef brisket, succulent pulled pork, and glazed ribs served alongside house-made accompaniments. The preparation process prioritizes prolonged cooking durations that break down connective tissues to ensure optimal texture and moisture retention. Guests encounter a straightforward menu configuration centered on meat-forward plates and classic sides designed to complement the smoke-heavy profile of the main dishes. This establishment maintains a functional atmosphere suited for focused exploration of regional barbecue traditions and bold, savory flavor profiles derived from meticulous temperature control.

Review Summary

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.

Extrêmement déçue de ce resto réservé pour la fête des pères. Nous avons mangé sur la terrasse sur des tables croches & branlantes. La serveuse n'avait pas de menus & était incapable de nous expliquer ce que nous commandions. Longue attente. Nous demandons des serviettes & on nous donne un gros rouleau de papier brun. La nourriture est servie sur du papier sur des plateaux; pas d'assiettes. Même le porc effiloché est servi directement sur le papier. Les côtes de porc étaient incroyablement sèches. Le reste était bon, mais le menu très limité. Il a fallu demander & attendre la sauce pour les côtes de boeuf.

We expected more. We were there 4 years ago & it was great.
The second time around was disappointing .
The place seems dirty & unkempt. We were seated outside & the table had bird droppings on it- the waiter cleaned it with a filthy cloth which she later cleaned other tables with. The outdoor terrace is poorly built & unpleasant to sit.
The place was understaffed we waited very long to order & get the food.
The food arrived cold.
The brisket was great! Was the only highlight of the meal
Pork ribes tasted old, dry, like they sat in the fridge & warmed in the microwave. Baked beans arrived cold.
There is a lot of potential for this place but someone has to take things seriously there & up their game.

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. 👋🏻

Came across this place whilst looking on Google for somewhere to eat for our evening meal. We weren't disappointed the meats were succulent & flavoursome. The unusual thing is there's no menu other than the verbal menu. Your server lists the meats & sides, drinks & you simply just choose. The only thing I recommend is you are hungry the amount of food you get is large the sharing platter is enough for 3 or 4 people . Overall well recommended.

We made a reservation for the f1 weekend. We arrived earlier than planned & they were able to accommodate us (thank you!). But more importantly this was some of the best BBQ we've ever had!! Everything was so tender & melts in your mouth. We got a sharing bbq platter & each got our own sides. We were so full & still had lots of leftover meat that we could take home with us. We'll be back for sure.

Absolutely amazing food. Best barbecue meat I've ever had in my life. Better than Texas, & that's saying a lot. You don't want to miss this restaurant if you come to Montreal. Lovely service too.
