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.

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.
This was a surprise from my wife & i had no expectations, but it turned out to be really delicious & good local beer for an average of 30-40$ the only thing i didnt like was that they serve you on a paper with a plate & as you cut your meat, ur cutting the paper & it starts to stick to some of your pieces of meat. So its been a year & we went again, its still delicious 😋 but same problem as before with the paper. The local beer is good, try it out.
Went there for my birthday on Saturday, & I will be going back as soon as I can. The ambiance is so comfortable, the service was top notch (waiters were very friendly, knowledgeable & fun) we did not wait long at all for our food, the portions were amazing ! Food is melt in your mouth good. Owner was there, very friendly. I cannot wait to go back.
Obsessed with this restaurant!! The meat is incredible, the waitresses & the owner are attentive, giving an intimate dining experience. They make great cocktails, have chosen wines that go with the food, really a must visit spot in the old port!

Lattuca Barbecue is not to be missed when visiting Montréal. We found the restaurant when visiting a while ago. Now, when we visit the city, we plan our time around when we can have great barbecue. When you walk in to the restaurant there are exposed beams with tables, benches, & chairs. The center of the restaurant is where the barbecue is cut when ordered & placed on trays with the sides. The food is US Southern style with options including brisket, beef ribs, pulled pork, chicken. The sides are smoked baked beans, mac n' cheese, & coleslaw. The food is cooked to perfection; flavorfully amazing & absolutely worth going. A a lot of love & passion is put into the food & it shows. You will leave happy & full. Sitting down for dinner in the restaurant is relaxed & feels like returning home to have family dinner. Owner, John Lattuca, despite having a full house, always makes time to chat at length with his guests. Even though we only make it to Montréal once or twice a year, he always remembers us. It is like old friends continuing an endless conversation. Although you can go without reservations, I would recommend making a reservation.
Absolutely phenomenal! Barbecue!!!! Don't listen to the bad reviews, make a reservation & come sit down & eat! I promise you will not forget it! John the chef lattuca is a gem ! Love this place
