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.
Great place to go if you are looking for a great dish of brisket, ribs, smoked chicken. The cocktails were really good too. This was our first visit but this restaurant has been included in our list of favorites ones. John the owner is a very kind, sweet & passionate of his work. Thanks John & your team for a beautiful dinner & evening 😀.
As soon as the pilot says we can use our phones, I text Gianni & asks him to save me a Beef Rib. Not many BBQ spots north of Texas can do a beef rib as good as this guy… of course I'll have the brisket, the pulled pork & the ribs too & then roll home, very happy.
Una carne deliciosa , suave que se deshace en tu boca , auténtico sabor BBQ , las porciones muy abundantes, tienes que probar la charola para compartir trae todas las carnes y pollo también, nos atendió el propietario y es súper amable y atento si estás por la zona no te lo pierdas
Meat is of a good quality. We had brisket, beef rib & pulled pork.
What I didn't find in comment section that is important: if you come as a group you have to order 1 option of meats & sides for everyone. You cannot order your choice of meats or sides. Even though each of you is paying separately, the choice gets limited to only one. So make sure that you share tastes with everyone in the room otherwise you're stuck with the majority.
Incroyable expérience! Les saveurs, les odeurs, le service, tout était parfait! Aucun problème même pour ma conjointe Coeliaque! Impossible de choisir car tout semblait tellement bon, que nous avons pris tout les choix de viandes possible! Un vrai délice!
I really wanted to love this place, heard so much about it, it was so hyped, it's a local resto but unfortunately it didn't live up to expectations at all.
Very disappointing taste compared to reviews.
The only positive was the service, waitresses were friendly, polite & competent.
Great bbq, great service ! Went with colleagues & definitely worth it. John is a great host, Leticia is attentive & welcoming. All around great place. Highly recommend ! The pizzeria L'unico staff thanks you guys !
My friend & I were looking for Bbq & stumbled across this place on google maps. The service we got was impeccable & the food was just as good as it looks! We got the sharing plate with 3 meats & 3 sides. All the sides (mac & cheese, coleslaw, & beans) were flavourful & all of the meats (smoked chicken, beef rib, brisket) were tender & moist. I'd love to come back to try the other meats next time! The atmosphere was cozy as well & we were sat by the window.
Let me tell a little story. About 3 weeks prior to visiting Lattuca, I was in Dallas, & had some great BBQ while down in sunny Texas. When a co worker said we were going to Quebec, & he booked reservations at'An amazing' BBQ place, I was confused. Quebec & BBQ didn't go together in my mind. But, oh how wrong I was. Latucca may very well be the BEST BBQ I have ever had, & I'd like to think I've had a lot, having lived in NC for 4 years. We ordered a group platter, each with our own set of sides, & those by themselves could have been a meal. The Slaw, with a vinaigrette base was amazing. Great Mac & Cheese, & the baked beans were as well. But that meat platter, holy crap. Pulled pork, pork ribs, & brisket. I have absolutely 0 critiques, & 0 complaints. John Lattuca may have to open a place in Seattle so I don't go broke flying to Quebec for dinner. Outstanding place. Thank you Pitmaster Latucca, & staff for the amazing experience.
Happy to have finally been able to try this BBQ gem in Old Montreal. Best BBQ spot in Montreal, great value, generous portion size, quality BBQ, & friendly team. 9/9 😉🙏
We'll be back!
