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?'View more

Horrible service!! Reserved for 2 at 6pm, arrived at 5:58, only to receive our food after an hour & a half, when tables who arrived after us received their order around 7pm. We had to call the waitress twice, & obviously they completely forgot our order.
Beef ribs were burnt & super salty on the outside, but bland to no taste in the inside. Brisket was okay, tender & at least evenly salty, but that's it, no other flavor. The only flavorful thing was the mac & cheese.
Also, during our entire visit, our cup didn't get refilled not even once, I was so thirsty at the end that I started eating ice :)
Not worth the visit.View more

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!View more

Food was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. The smoke ring on the brisket & ribs was the biggest I've seen. Super tender meat. That beef rib was so tender & buttery!! Highly recommend the coleslaw, a nice acidic bite after the meat is refreshing. The Mack & cheese was ok but the amazing BBQ overshadows EVERYTHING. Service is a bit delayed & no one really checks in to see if you need another drink etc but again the amazing food overshadows everything.View more

My friends & I have been going to Lattuca BBQ for almost 10 years now. Firstly the food is always top notch (the best brisket & beef rib you will ever eat) . John (Lattuca) is such a gracious host, always a friendly greeting with a big smile!! Yesterday was the first time we ordered the platter with 3 meats (Brisket, Chicken & Beef Rib w/ all 3 sides) it was more than enough food for the 4 of us (& we are big eaters) & what a bang for the buck, very reasonable for all the food we ate (& even had a bit of leftovers) The surprise of the meal was the chicken. Havn't had it very often in the past but last night WOW, so tender & juicy. As well the service was awsone!! We had Anis serving us & she was more than great!!
Can't say enough good things about Lattuca BBQ. Thank you for your hospitality John!!View more
Halo
The BBQ set menu is simple, & we went with the brisket, Côtes de Porc, & beef rib-everything was delicious! But I have to say, their signature brisket is absolutely next level! Crazy tender, crazy juicy, & smoked to perfection. Brisket champ for a reason! It was so good we even ordered extra brisket-totally satisfying! The place isn't very big, so I recommend making a reservation in advance.View more

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.View more

Would you expect a BBQ joint in Montreal? I didn't, but the more I read the more I wanted to go. & what an awesome place! It's a cozy space just off the water with some great cow art & country music to add to the ambiance. The owner was there, & it was a pleasure to meet him & hear about his passion for BBQ (which we share, so easy conversation). He's got a great selection of whiskeys going, & the bartender, wow- she rocked some great cocktails (including some off-menu ones at request, after ingredients were verified in stock). I got the beef rib, brisket, & chicken (added at the bartender's suggestion) & they were all amazing. I hadn't had smoked beef rib before, & that was outstanding. I have had smoked chicken before, & it had been dry. John's wasn't- it was moist & smokey & delightful. If they're not swamped, it's a delightful crew to chat with. Don't miss!View more

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 .View more

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.View more

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.View more

(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!View more

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.View more

Very good food Best brisket ever Beef ribs are also very goodView more

(I ordered via uberEats) HOLY MOLY!!! Now I've never been to Texas to taste authentic Texas BBQ but I reckon this is it. This was hands down the most delicious most succulent, most tender brisket I ever had in my life. The giant beef rib was also amazing & falls right off the bone. But, if I had to pick between the two I would choose the brisket. That first bite brought so much happiness. Thanks so much Lattuca for creating this quality BBQ in these dark times :)View more

Lattuca Barbecue is not to be missed when visiting Montréal. We found the restaurant when visiting a while ago. Now, when we visit the city, we plan our time around when we can have great barbecue. When you walk in to the restaurant there are exposed beams with tables, benches, & chairs. The center of the restaurant is where the barbecue is cut when ordered & placed on trays with the sides. The food is US Southern style with options including brisket, beef ribs, pulled pork, chicken. The sides are smoked baked beans, mac n' cheese, & coleslaw. The food is cooked to perfection; flavorfully amazing & absolutely worth going. A a lot of love & passion is put into the food & it shows. You will leave happy & full. Sitting down for dinner in the restaurant is relaxed & feels like returning home to have family dinner. Owner, John Lattuca, despite having a full house, always makes time to chat at length with his guests. Even though we only make it to Montréal once or twice a year, he always remembers us. It is like old friends continuing an endless conversation. Although you can go without reservations, I would recommend making a reservation.View more

Best smokehouse on the island. The beef ribs are what it looks like the most of what we find at the best smokehouses in Texas.View more

I reserved a table for 6 at Lattuca BBQ & I was so happy & looking forward to go & eat this supposly very good Pitmaster. So dissatisfied it's not even close to what I hate or tried in other smokehouse or BBQ joint. The pulled pork was full of fat. The pork ribs there was one little piece as you can see in the pictures. The brisket was good but portion were very small. The best piece of meat was the beef rib that's why I gave it 2*. Sides were limited to 3 choices. Baked beens coleslaw & very little portion of mac n cheese. No fries & nothing else. I found it pricy on top of it all. I had heard some good things about the place. But the end result was very deceiving. I would think twice if I would of known this before. Don't waste your money go somewhere else. BtW the menu you see on the website is not updated / not good anymore (does not update the menu) & no menus at the restaurant either. PS owner M.Lattuca had no carisma unfriendly & lacking interpersonal skills. I've seen owners make you feel very welcomed in their restaurant, but this guy, needs to work on his skills set in all areas!!!! Happy Birthday to meView more

Great BBQ!! The beef ribs are bigger than you'll find at just about any BBQ joint! The pulled pork, pork ribs & brisket is great too! Don't forget to order the mac & cheese! All the food is good that I made a point to come back a 2nd time while I'm over here from Minnesota! It's a good idea to make a reservation earlier in the day so they know you're comingView more
via LibroI got brisket & beef rib. Brisket portion was pretty small, rib was outstanding!

Best bbq in town, beef ribs falls off the bone & the brisket...to die for. Don't see how people gave this less than 5 as it's one of the best BBQ I've had in my life. Can't believe it's my first time at lattuca but can't wait to have it again!View more

Best barbeque in Quebec! The most delicious pork & beef ribs, brisket, pulled pork & chicken. The meats are absolute show-stoppers & mouth-watering! You'll even be delighted by the sides - amazing Mac n cheese, beans & coleslaw. Fantastic & quick service too We absolutely love coming here! Hats off to the Chef!View more
via LibroService was good, atmosphere was good for bbq pace, meat was mediocre. Beef rib was dry & portions were very small. Only good part of meal was beans, & that portion was too small too.
via LibroSome meat cuts like beef rib was dry & the chicken had the greasy skin which is a weird choice. It felt a bit reheated unfortunately...brisket was really good & service was really sweet! Also got a sweet tea with bourbon which was good & affordable.
via LibroI was really looking forward to this place. Unfortunately, it was nothing special. The brisket was very fatty, however, the beef ribs were delicious.

The Brisket & pulled pork was worth the drive into the city. The meats was tender, flavourful & good portions. The Mac & cheese was okay, the coleslaw was good just needed a bit more. The Beef Ribs was insanely large & delicious 🤤.View more
