Amazing meal and amazing drinks! It’s worth taking the time to make a reservation (even if some people…Tim….don’t understand why). Owner John was super friendly and funny, and explained why they require reservations (it’s not the space available, it’s the care and craft it takes to make the meats and the limited amount they can make at a time). Mac and cheese was amazing, Arnold Palmer cocktail was refreshing, and the meats were too much to handle, but we ate them anyway! 10/10 would recommend!

I give this place a 4.5/5
Meat lovers you're at the right place! Lattuca BBQ truly didn't disappoint. It was awesome.
I recommend having a reservation because it is not a big place. The decorations was rustic and loved the feel it gave as well as the ambiance.
I love their concept. Each plage start with one meat (27$) and two sides. You can also add additional cuts as you wish for an extra 2-3$. They have need brisket (they are renowned for this), beef rib, pork rib, chicken and pulled pork. As for the sides there are a coleslaw salad, mac and cheese and baked beans.
We tried all the cuts of meat and we think the brisket and the beef ribs are the best! You should also ask for their BBQ sauce. It makes everything taste better. All the meats were perfectly cooked and melt in the mouth. The only thing is you have to eat it fast because when it cools down, it's a lot harder to eat because it is a heavy meal. Taking the salad is also very recommended.
They have many choices of local beers as well as a few choices of wines. Cocktails are also available.
Overall, we were in a meat coma after we finished. We also took some home because of their portions. This is a must try American BBQ restaurant to try.

If I could give this place 6 stars I would.
Came here for a bachelor party. The service was great. Server has a great sense of humor and was quick and accurate getting our drinks out. Food was out of this world. Beef rib fell off the bone. Pork ribs were the best I've ever had. The owner, Jean, was amazing. He came out and talked about his time in Texas and how he came about barbecuing. We told him about the bachelor party and he and all the staff came out for a shot of bourbon with us. Super nice person and great restaurant. Would come back every time

I have lived in Georgia (US) for 16 years and have never enjoyed barbecue as much as I did at Lattuca Barbecue!
The brisket is SO tender it falls off the fork! I also have children who are picky eaters and they commented on how good the food was!
If you’re in Montreal and you enjoy barbecue, you will not be disappointed!

Meat was perfectly cooked: brisket was super soft, generous beef rib falling off the bone, and pork rib was sweet and juicy.
Sides were great too! Macaroni and cheese was the perfect texture and well seasoned. Baked beans were sweet, great side for the beef rib.

I am so glad that my husband and I decided to try Lattuca’s Barbecue. As native Texans, we were enticed by the promise of Texas-style barbecue, and we were not disappointed! The brisket was up to Texas standards and the pulled pork was the best we’ve ever had. We had the most wonderful time chatting with John about all things Texas BBQ and Adele was the most gracious host. This is a must-visit stop in Old Port, Montreal!

This is real-deal Texas-style barbeque in the Old Port! We had the brisket (of course), beef ribs(!), pulled pork, and chicken, and it's some of the best I've had outside Austin. Check out pitmaster John Lattuca's background on their website: he's the real thing. Tip: Make a reservation--this place always seems to be hopping--and go early so you don't miss out on a favorite.

Brisket and pork were amazing! Sides were very cold. Pork ribs looked good but didn’t try them. Would recommend trying this place if you haven’t been.

This BBQ place in old Montreal is the bomb! They have the best brisket that I have ever tasted, ever. Tender and tasty, melt in your mouth, an't wait to go back for more. They also have pulled pork, beef ribs and pork ribs. Everything was awesome, the owner is always there and he spent some time with us telling us his story of how he got to where he is now. Great guy, great food, great atmosphere. You will need to make a reservation to make sure they have enough food. They close when they run out of food.
It is worth the trip!!

Great bbq and the staff is very friendly. We booked a table for 7 a few days prior. The owner was accommodating and very happy to have us. Shared a few laughs while we were there with him and the staff which was a nice experience.
The beef rib was probably my favorite but everything we had was very high end, high quality bbq for a good price. I definitely recommend. Great experience for a group of hungry guys. Some families were there as well. Do not miss out.
Sylvain Dupont
Very disappointed in my experience at LAttuca. Top chef on tv said it was the best BBQ ever. Strongly disagree. Ribs and brisket was 35% fat and 65% meat. Portions were small. Staff disorganized. No menu available at the table (menu only explained by waitress). No bill given to clients (must pay at the cash register with no details on our bill). Our waitress could not make a single correct sentence in French. She never asked us how was everything. With a cola and tip = 48$. Had nicer meals for half price. 3/10

Came straight from Switzerland nicely welcomed by the staff and the owner John himself. Had an excellent 3 style ribs dinner worth every penny in my opinion. The restaurant is perfectly located for the additional sight seeing in the old port.
John is passionate and contagious about his art. He met and chatted to every guests in the room during the course of our time there.
Just added and extra layer of southern hospitality to our evening. Bravissimo Senior Lattuca!

Hidden gem in the Old Port! Lattuca serves the tastiest brisket I've had since I visited Austin, Texas. As authentic and as tasty as it gets north of the border! I had the 4 meats available on the menu (brisket, beef rib, porc ribs and pulled pork) + the sides and everything was amazing. John Lattuca, the owner and the pit master is super friendly and welcoming. Its obvious that he loves his job. It was a pleasure to chat with him and eat there, I definitely recommend it!

Excellent food, excellent service. My buddy and I had 2 seats at the bar as walk-ins. The owner John even took a few minutes to chat with us about his method of cooking. To top it off when we asked, they put on the NHL playoffs, then switched it to the Kentucky Derby when hockey ended. Make Reservations!!! Get the brisket or the Resurrection plate (that comes with pulled pork, brisket, beef rib & pork rib). I will definitely be goin back!!

Let me start off by saying "John has ruined me for BBQ! He has set the bar extremely high!
This was an unexpected find on our weekend away to Montreal while walking along the port. Coming from Southern Ontario, we don't have an abundance of bbq places by any means, and really none worth noting that I've found.
I've never had BBQ this good, and it saddens me that I may not again until I get back there for a return visit. The mouth watering Brisket, the tangy coleslaw, and the smokey campfire baked beans warms your soul. My wife who doesn't care for the beans absolutely loved them as well.
In a post conversation with John you can tell he loves his cooking and he puts an enormous amount of effort and knowledge into preparing the menu. He's also just a nice guy to talk to and we both enjoyed our time at his restaurant. Thanks John :)
I always say, if your going out to eat food prepared by someone else it should knock your socks off, and John does not fail to deliver.
Keep up the good work!

The best brisket I’ve ever had!!! An amazing owner & polite staff. Im definitely making this a regular!! �
Lorenzo Frattolillo
This is for sure the best smoke house in Montreal. I've been to so many, and by far this is the place to be. No sauce just a nice rub, the real way it should be. Must say they are the best. Congrats guys it's amazing.
Robert Buswell
Such a great meal by an amazing and desicated chef !
The best in that category !
Best brisket in the world, just near home, Wowww
Thank’s John
Jessie D'Aigle
The owner talks about smoking meat like a conductor talks about classical music. I had an amazing experience at this restaurant. I tried all five meets and the beans and the mac & cheese, needless to say was a long dinner and I’ll be back. Thanks John
Stephanie Grenier
We came here the last time we visited Montréal and even though we did not make a reservation, they still let us sit down. It was absolutely delicious, we loved it! So we made it a point to make a reservation the second time we were here. Unfortunately the women who booked it did not mention they were closed the day we made it so my suggestion would be to check the hours before calling! Lol! Very disappointed we couldn’t eat here again.
Sean Broussard
Visiting from the US, stopped in here to have dinner. I've been to BBQ cookoffs in Texas and I've even worked for a large BBQ house in Texas. I must say this is some of the best BBQ I've ever had. You will NOT need sauce.
Laurie Jane
Literally the best Beef Rib I have tasted in Canada or the US (including Tennessee). John is a master of the pit! You are crazy not to include this on any stop into Old Montreal! Personal service second to none!! 5 stars isn't a high enough rating for this place!! Laurie & John from Niagara-on-the-Lake
Enza Fasulo
The ribs are amazing and the mack and cheese Wow. And I discovered a new beer called Lug Tread . Another amazing beer added to my list Loved the experience at Lattuca
