About

Lattuca Barbecue functions as a specialized smokehouse focused on authentic, slow-cooked American barbecue techniques. The menu features premium cuts of meat prepared with traditional dry rubs and finished over hardwood smoke to achieve a distinct depth of flavor. Signature offerings include tender beef brisket, succulent pulled pork, and glazed ribs served alongside house-made accompaniments. The preparation process prioritizes prolonged cooking durations that break down connective tissues to ensure optimal texture and moisture retention. Guests encounter a straightforward menu configuration centered on meat-forward plates and classic sides designed to complement the smoke-heavy profile of the main dishes. This establishment maintains a functional atmosphere suited for focused exploration of regional barbecue traditions and bold, savory flavor profiles derived from meticulous temperature control.

Review Summary

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.

The old port is a beautiful spot for every visit to Montreal.

I had looked up barbecue spots, this was a highly rated place in Montreal.

Friendly staff, quickly took my order & had my meal ready within minutes.

I was told reservations were recommended but they were able to seat me inside.

The brisket is outstanding, juicy & melting away as it was well smoked & spiced. You have to try it.

The Mac n cheese was the perfect mix of creamy & cheese. The baked beans were okay. I'm not the biggest fan of coleslaw so opted with the other 2 sides.

It was interesting there wasn't barbecue sauce available, possibly they can expand their sides/ dessert offering in the future.

Malheureusement ils étaient en rupture de stock sur le beef brisquet & ne proposaient que du porc. Nous avions réserver au préalable & nous sommes déplacer sans avoir été averti de la rupture de stock. Sur place l'accueil était très peu chaleureux , la serveuse a pris beaucoup de temps pour nous accueillir & pour finalement nous apprendre la mauvaise nouvelle. N'ont aucun menu papier , bref la nourriture avaient l'air bonne mais ce sera pour une prochaine fois avant de pouvoir rechanger la mauvaise étoile…

The smoked beef ribs, brisket, & pulled pork were the best things I ate all night, even after that Nuggets win. Honestly, I would be the best thing you order all week, so a cute guy should just say hello. You know you want to make that move.

The brisket was way too dry & the ribs were way too dry & salty. For the price portions were small too. Nice place otherwise & super friendly staff.

Visitando Lattuca desde CDMX Mexico.
Una extraordinario BBQ grill donde sirven la mejor costilla de res de Canada!!! De verdad se desprende sola del hueso y tiene un gran sabor y consistencia. La mejor sin duda!!!
El brisquet es buenisimo tambien. Sin duda se volverá un clásico en cada visita a Montreal.
Personal muy amigable y atento!
Saludos John!!! Nos vemos pronto!

We had a fantastic second experience at Lattuca- the food was great, but the service from Joanne is what really made our experience so excellent. We will be coming back for sure!

Unable to deliver drinks to our table in under 30 minutes. Ordered food at 7pm to pickup at 9pm after the Notre-Dame performance only to receive a text at 830 telling us that they would not be able to fulfill our order because of other reserved orders. This place had high reviews but failed miserably. I would not recommend a restaurant that can't even deliver on a slower weekday.

Made reservations as suggested for 630 on a Sunday. Wasn't necessary. Appreciated it was casual attire & they offered both indoor & outdoor seating. The menu is very limited, 3 meats, 3 sides, thats it. The meat was cooked to absolute perfection, tender & fall off the bone, yet lacked seasoning. Service was not good..& was not good for every table around us. The server brought us water promptly, unfortunately it was literally the tiniest cup imaginable, once the server took our order, the food arrived promptly via a food runner...yet the tables were served completely put of order...a table that sat well after we ordered, got food first & a table that was there way before us had to hunt their server down to get their food. The server never checked in on us, we had no napkins & empty water glasses our whole dining experience. Everyone that sat after us received the same poor quality of service & literally wanted to tell them to dine elsewhere. The atmosphere & location are great, but wouldn't recommend based mostly on service & lack of seasoning or sauce on the meat.
