Taken together, reviews depict Lattuca Barbecue as a standout Texas style smokehouse in Montreal with generous portions and a focus on tender, smoky meats like brisket and beef ribs that many visitors consider among the best outside Texas. The sides such as mac and cheese, coleslaw, and baked beans are frequently praised for flavor, though a few comments note issues with temperature or consistency and some meat being slightly dry or overly salty. A verbally delivered menu and the absence of a fixed menu are repeatedly mentioned, along with occasional service flaws, wait times, and higher prices, especially for sharing platters. The atmosphere is described as warm, casual, and welcoming with attentive staff and a clear passion for pit cooking, drawing locals and visitors from far away who often say the experience is worth the trip. Overall, the brisket and beef ribs emerge as the standout items that keep guests returning, even as some visits remind that peak times can impact service and value.
We went to Lattuca with 5 of my boys & it was so amazing. There were 3 meats included in our order: beef ribs, pork ribs, briskets, beans, mac n cheese, & coleslaw for 34$. It is very delicious food. Definitely, I'll be back .

Wow - I'm from Alberta & this place blows almost everything at home away. The owner of this place really cares about his craft. If you're looking for legit BBQ in Montreal, this is the place to visit. Incredible service from the moment we sat down, through the entire time we dined - wish I could give it more stars.
Lattuca serves legit BBQ. My brisket & beef rib were smoked to perfection, & the perfect consistency. I have not had BBQ this good outside of the southeast U.S., these folks don't play. If you're looking for Montreal style brisket there are a million places in town for that. Do not come here looking for that. Come here for slow & low, smoked, real BBQ. Staff was awesome too.
We took the sharing plater for five. The portions of meat were very generous & fed everyone. The price was fair for everything we got. It emulates a Texas BBQ style - they serve until they run out. Though service was working at a reduced capacity, everyone was lovely & bilingual. Would recommend!
Over price, only got 2 slice of beef & 1 was only fat. It taste good but kinda cold. 34$ for a meal so tiny i had to eat somewherr else after. The 2 start is for the waitress, at least she was kind. Dont go there its not worth it at all.
I visited Lattuca Barbecue on Sunday, September 15, & despite the restaurant being extremely busy, I happy with the level of service I received-especially from our waitress, Emma. Even with the high volume of customers, Emma remained incredibly kind, attentive, & professional throughout the meal. Her ability to manage everything with a smile during such a hectic time truly stood out. On top of that, the food was fantastic! The brisket was tender, juicy, & full of flavor-definitely some of the best I've had, next to Gatlans in Texas.

Such a gem this place. Owner is passionate about his meat & has high standards. It's wonderful to enjoy food at a place that loves making food the way he does. Highly recommend it. *** we still LOVE THIS PLACE!!!!! Nothing like it & hands down best bbq in the world.
While it's great to boast about being a World Champion of Brisket, there is a difference in being experts in competitions (food for few) vs restaurants (food for masses) . The pulled pork was overdone to the point of being mush & unappetizing. The chicken was tender but the flavor didn't hit the mark. The brisket had a great texture but was on the salty side. Portion sizes are not in line with the price but you are in the tourist side of the island & you're paying for an "experience". I was disappointed that the drinks weren't homemade & watched our waitress pour our lemonade from a premade store bottle. The positive to the evening was our waitress who was delightful, friendly & quick. This restaurant has what it takes to up its game, & I wish it continued success.

Woow that was awesome! Don't ask for silverware, you don't need it. I had not eaten quality meat in Canada for a long time. The service was incredible, very rarely seen. Excellent place to enjoy in peace.
We ordered 5 meat platter for 2. It was a bit too much, had to take away! The food was worth its price & had been served quick. Would definitely recommend for visiting & will visit the pace again when craving for 🍖.
