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.
Great experience at Lattuca BBQ! The food was flavorful & well cooked, especially the meats. Portions were generous & the atmosphere was relaxed. Friendly service too definitely a place I'd come back to.
Expensive, we took a plate to share for 5 40$ each. We got a small mac n cheese & coleslaw. Food was okay but the pulled pork was dry. Would not recommend for the price but only redeemable place for smoked meat in montreal. Price to quality ratio is not here.
There is no menu btw, this is outrageous.
The Best BBQ Outside of Texas!
We come to Lattuca BBQ year after year all the way from Ontario, & every single visit reminds us why this place is unbeatable. The smoked meat here is absolutely phenomenal-tender, juicy, & packed with flavor that rivals the best Texas barbecue.
The brisket melts in your mouth, the ribs are perfection, & the sides complement everything beautifully. The atmosphere is warm & welcoming, & you can feel the passion behind every dish.
If you're in Montreal & love authentic BBQ, this is THE spot. Worth every mile of the trip!

We were hesitant because this is a hole in the wall, but I'm so glad we came. The food blew my mind. If you go, ask for Melissa. Her knowledge of the menu was impressive & she treated us like regulars even though it was our first time.
You don't know an amazing brisket until you have gone to lattuca barbecue. It was tender, juicy & everything you want in brisket. The pulled pork was also delicious even a person who hates pork ate it & loved it. The staff was also amazing & they made me feel at home. Overall I would recommend this to everyone I know. This was a 10/10
I live in London now & miss this place so much. Everytime I come back I need to come & eat here. John is really a pit master & he makes the bbq EVER. Do yourself a favor ane check it out!
Superbe place, belle ambiance chaleureuse, le propriétaire est super cool & accueillant, de la bonne musique, & que dire de la nourriture 😍 & les plats sont remplis portion tres généreuse. Je vous le recommande
I was introduced to this style BBQ around 8 years ago by a good friend. I was apprehensive about how this experience would go as it's mostly just meat. We took a share platter with all 5 meats. After the first bite, that instant tender, melt in your mouth, smokey meat hit my palate just right. That beef rib is the best rib I've ever eaten. This meal is not for everyone, but I can honestly say that if you like BBQ, try LATTUCA once in your life. If you like Texas style BBQ, this is the place to be. They also have a nice variety of alcohol to go with the meal.
Since going 8 years ago, I've tried to share this experience with other BBQ enthusiasts every chance I've had. The staff are very friendly & attentive. The owner is very down to earth & a great host. Even though he is extremely busy managing & trying to cater to everyone, he tries his best to cordially convers with all of his guests.
Not here everyone. Food safety concerns. We had diarrhea 30 mins after eating here...paying 45$ plus each for really small plates, & the serveuse chose to offer an outdoor seating in a cold day & didn't bring the correct order or come take the order fast enough when there were only 3 tables of clients. Another experienced lady came to lift the service level. The tip was set to 18% for the first serveuse ! & food was not even as fresh , seasoned, & enough. The old port needs a better steak place.
