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.
Truly one of the best restaurants in Montreal!!! Drinks are amazing, food is outta this world. Service second to none. If you haven't been you're missing out!!!
(2024) Last year we visited Lattuca & it was so amazing we came back this year. It's still incredible, maybe even better somehow. We ordered the share plate & got 1 of everything (5 meats), chicken, beef rib, pork rib, brisket, pulled pork, & the beans, mac n cheese, & coleslaw. Everything is incredibly delicious & perfectly cooked. The service was stellar, & the atmosphere was great. Well probably be back in 2025. 🍖 (2023) One of the best BBQ I've had in a long time. The brisket, beef rib, pulled pork & chicken were incredible. The sides were also amazing. The beans were incredibly delicious & the coleslaw was refreshing. My wife says the Mac n Cheese was one of the best she's had. I'll be coming back if I'm ever in Montreal again!
Mon objectif était de manger un bon brisket dans la région de MTL! L'objectif à été atteint en me rendant au Lattuca BBQ !!! Quel délice le brisket ! Les sides sont aussi très bon , nous avons également goûté au porc effiloché qui était succulent ! L'ambiance est agréable car il n'y a pas de musique trop forte & le service est rapide ! Bref 5 etoiles !!!

Pros: - Excellent BBQ, large meat portions, worth the price - Flavourful, falls off the bone - Delicious sides - No nonsense environment, friendly service Areas for improvement: - Needs more ambiance & better lighting - Play music (the silent room creates an awkward vibe) - Need to clean & tidy window area (looks cluttered & neglected) - Side portions are quite small (you find yourself rationing them during the meal, we had to ask for more) Overall, would definitely return - the food is delicious! I get the sense that the team focuses on making good food & might have left aesthetics & atmosphere as a secondary concern. If they could create a better vibe this would probably be my favourite spot 😍
In last week, so much expectations reason am coming back. One final round. Couldn't believe my brisket was dry, nothing fell off the bone. am counting that experience as fluke. Bring out the award winning stuff.
They accidentally brought out the meat for two instead of three but fixed it immediately excellent bringing out extras. ribs brisket & chicken. Brisket was absolutely fantastic so tender it was truly fantastic.
Delicious food!! The ribs are so good! The price was really high though, but I guess that's what you get for tourist area prices. The staff were wonderful & very kind. Spoke English to us when we struggled to say anything in French. Merci!

We absolutely loved the food here! We got a shared plate with everything & it all melted in your mouth. The beans were fantastic as well & I'm not usually crazy about beans. Service was great as well, would definitely recommend!
Best BBQ I have had in a long while. Meat falls off the bone & very tender & juicy! The service was good & food portions were very well balanced. I would just suggest - upgrade your chairs on the patio.. the 15$ Ikea chairs really kinda threw me off.
Best Mac & cheese in the city. Everything here is amazing. Our waiter, Fayza was one of the best ive ever had. Would recommend to everyone looking for good bbq
Wow! Best BBQ in town. Having lived in Texas for years, this place has nothing to envy our southern neighbors. Pitmaster John is passionate about his work & it tastes in every bite. The staff is friendly, the drinks are delicious, I couldn't recommend a visit any more!
Service was great. Food amazing! Book a table or you will be out in the heat. You can't go wrong here. My kids said it was the best ribs & brisket they have ever had! Yum!
