Lattuca Barbecue est largement perçu comme une vraie pépite du barbecue texan à Montréal, offrant des portions généreuses et des viandes fumées à point accompagnées de sides savoureux tels que mac and cheese, coleslaw et baked beans. Le brisket et les ribs reviennent le plus souvent comme des incontournables, le tout dans une ambiance chaleureuse et décontractée et un service qui peut être attentif même lors des périodes les plus chargées. Certains avis soulignent l'absence d'un menu écrit et des prix relativement élevés, ainsi que des temps d'attente ou des soucis de service, mais la qualité de la viande et le goût fumé restent largement loués. Le concept repose sur un plateau partagé et une cuisson au charbon, ce qui permet de goûter plusieurs viandes et de satisfaire les appétits généreux. Pour les amateurs de barbecue, c'est une adresse à ne pas manquer lorsque l'on visite le Vieux-Montréal, avec une expérience souvent décrite comme parmi les meilleures BBQ hors des Etats-Unis par les visiteurs. En somme, c'est une destination prisée des connaisseurs recherchant une viande fumée authentique, des plats copieux et une ambiance conviviale, même si une organisation plus fluide du service et une meilleure communication sur les tarifs seraient appréciées.
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.

We had to convert a dine-in reservation to a take-out because my ladies weren't feeling great. We got brisket & beef rib. The beef rib was delicious, but the brisket was amazing. So good my picky daughter would *not* stop talking about it. & I agree, it was utterly fantastic...it's no surprise it's won awards.
Beans were tasty, slaw was good, & the wife said the Mac & cheese was good. I'm a celiac & the meals came with separately packed Mac & cheese, & they kept one meal for me without.
Staff was lovely & helpful when I picked up. Will happily return in the future!
Stumbled upon this gem, the brisket, beef ribs & chicken was amazing, delicious, tender, & flavourful! The sides of coleslaw, Mac n cheese & baked beans were also delicious & flavourful ! The staff were friendly, & were great fun! Highly recommend this place for a wonderful experience! 'Can we get a pitcher of the water?'
Brisket tasted like Jesus's sandal & the macaroni & cheese was a sloppy watery mess, however the Smoked beans were genuinely life changing. I can go on & on & on about how delicious these beans were, I am honestly considering bringing my partner just to eat a bunch of beans. The poor patrons that night haha!
I'm not entirely sure what the hype is about with this place.
The service was okay, but there were no menus - instead, the staff just listed off the available options, which felt a bit disorganized. As for the food, it left a lot to be desired. There was no sauce provided at the table for the meat, which seemed odd. The coleslaw was basically just chopped lettuce without any dressing, & the mac & cheese was dry & had a grainy texture. The baked beans were the most enjoyable part of the meal, but not enough to make me want to return.
*quick note too, the couple sitting behind us weren't even able to eat the food because they said the meat smelled off so I believe they didn't pay for anything & left...
If you're looking for a solid BBQ experience, I'd recommend checking out Fatboys in Ottawa ;)
Absolutely amazing BBQ! The beef brisket & beef rib were both incredible - juicy, tender, & full of smoky flavor. Easily some of the best I've had in Canada. The sides were great too, especially the baked beans & mac & cheese. Portions are generous & perfect for sharing. Great vibes, friendly staff, & worth every penny. A must-visit for any BBQ lover in Montreal!

Went today for my birthday & the service was great, offered me two shots of rum. I took the brisket platter with two sides. First customers in the door so the meat was as fresh as possible. Brisket alone deserve the 5 stars, the sides are only there to fill the plate though, the beans & mac & cheese were not to my taste. But lets be real, I was only there for the meat & I was not disappointed.
Music level was not too loud. Food excellent ( even though the smoked beans were tepid). The meat is amazing! No seasonings on meat or table. Not what I would call bbq , no sauce on meat. Service perfect. My problem was the washroom, see pictures. Wouldn't go back unless this is solved!
Please make reservations if you want to be guaranteed a table. Really worth it. Great location & the food was made with care. The service was very friendly & made the experience better. Allie was our server & felt at home. Ordered the beef ribs & brisket with coleslaw & beans. Can't wait for my next visit.
I got a plate recommended by the chef. It had ribs, pulled pork, coleslaw, baked beans, & mac n cheese. The Mac n cheese is a little bit spicy, but not too much, just enough. It had a very pleasant texture & a very nice cheesy taste, with just enough heat. The ribs were coated in a rich, tangy sauce that really brought out the smoky flavour, they were very tender & an absolute delight. The pulled pork was also absolutely divine. Hands down the best I've had so far. I can't recommend this place enough. It's absolutely worth the trip.

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 .
if they sold their baked beans in a can i would gladly spend my savings on a stash of them. i couldnt pick up their brisket with my hands cause it melted right as I even thought about taking a bite of it. it's *that* good. service was also amazing, the service team deserves a billion dollars a day imho
Who knew I had to go to Montreal to get the best barbecue in my life. The meat is so tender, consistent, flavorful & just so perfect. Server was a sweetheart, we got downpoured on towards the end of dinner but everyone was so helpful. The sides leave a bit to be desired in my opinion. Mac & cheese tastes mostly of noodle, Coleslaw was meh, beans were just ok (taste like Busch's). The meat however was fantastic
We dined here on Saturday April 27, 2024 around 6PM. Had made a reservation since the website strongly suggested this. The restaurant is small & fills up fast. Located in the heart of Old Port, this small joint offers a simple menu of bbq meats & sides. There is only beef ribs, porc ribs, pulled pork, brisket & smoked chicken, served with your choice of mac & cheese, coleslaw & baked beans. There are no appetizers & no desserts - however there is a cocktail & drinks menu. I do find it odd that the food menu is not posted on the website, nor on their social media. I saw some outdated photos of the menu other customers posted. The only place to see a physical menu is on the outside of the restaurant itself, otherwise once seated, there is nothing printed & the server will be the one to talk through the options. My partner & I opted for the beef ribs (there is an extra $7 for this option), pork ribs & smoked chicken. The meats were all very tender but lacked flavor - as if there was not enough seasonong or sauce. We had sides of mac & cheese & coleslaw. The food was very good, but not amazind & expensive for around $40 a person to start with plus the surchage for beef ribs. Cocktails were around $17. Very pricy dinner, for this, I expected larger portions, I found the Texas bbq experience to be lacking despite the website claiming this is Texas style. They surely do not serve American sized portions. I am a slim female with a healthy appetite & was disappointed in the lack of food, especially for the sides. There are maybe 3 or 4 bites of coleslaw or mac & cheese in each serving, yet these are the cheapest foods I don't understand why they couldn't be more generous. The time it took to prepare the food & serve us was also puzzling. We arrived when the restaurant just opened & were among the first to order yet waited probably a good half hour or more before our food arrived. The meats are all cooked in advance & I suspect the sides were as well - as we overheard a server mentioning the food is smoked in St-Eustache which is North, outside the island of Montreal. There are no smokers on site at this restaurant. I am glad I tried this place as there is a shortage of great BBQ within Montreal - however due to the portion size, slow service, price & location I would not come back. Unfortunately there is no parking nearby so be ready to pay upwards of $25-$30 for a paid parking lot, or take public transit if you can.

(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!
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!
Decent bbq considering limited options in Montreal but nothing to write home about. Took the sampler plate which was generous, best piece was the beef rib. Rest was OK at most (pulled pork, brisket, chicken). Sides were boring (beans, macNcheese, slaw - no cornbread , collard greens, etc...) Now for service, we sat outside & think the waitress forgot about us. Took forever to take our orders. Didn't clear the table when we were done. Asked for extra bbq sauce which never came. Restaurant was not packed at all. Not rude or anything, just not attentive. Overall, not a memorable experience.
Husband & I came here for dinner last night- overall, had a good experience. Food was really good, particularly the pork ribs & chicken (brisket was a bit dry). Beans were phenomenal- a pleasant surprise! Menu & service were a bit lackluster for a few reasons- their menu exists only on a blackboard in the restaurant that shows pricing for option of 1, 2 or 3 meats along with choice of sides. However, when we placed our order, it sounded like you can't order a 2 meat platter & just share between the two of us. The way the server explained it sounded like they charge based on # of person & quantity. We overheard one table settling their bill when we arrived & they were confused with the charges while another large group just got seated & they were also very confused with how pricing worked (server told them each person would have to pay $43 for a table of 6). Service was also quite a bit slow to take our drinks orders (we had been seated for abt 15 mins). Bottom line, would recommend the restaurant for their food but the ordering & service experience is a bit confusing/turn off.
