Overall, Dunn's Famous is described by reviewers as a fast, friendly deli with generous portions and tasty smoked meat, a large menu and good value for the amount of food; service is frequently praised for being attentive and efficient with quick, welcoming staff, though some visits note slower pacing and occasional higher prices; opinions on poutine and fries vary, with many enjoying the flavors and portions, while a few find the sauce or texture less impressive; desserts like the famous strawberry cheesecake are a highlight, and the atmosphere is generally lively and comfortable, making it a reliable family spot, though a few locations feel a bit dated or lacking ambiance.
We recently visited Dunn's Famous, & honestly, it was one of the best dining experiences we've had in Montreal.
We started with the Dunn's Special Poutine-& it was so good that we ended up ordering it again. The smoked meat was absolutely perfect: tender, juicy, & packed with that rich, impeccable smokiness you hope for but rarely get this right. Every bite just hit the spot.
We couldn't stop there, so we tried the desserts too-& wow. The apple crisp was comforting & delicious, the caramel ice cream was smooth & indulgent, & the volcano chocolate dessert was just next-level. Everything felt thoughtfully made & incredibly satisfying.
What truly made the experience stand out even more was the service. Our waitress (the one with the curls) was genuinely one of the nicest people we've encountered. Warm, attentive, & welcoming-she made us feel right at home. We've dined around Montreal & Quebec, & this was easily the best treatment we've received.
From the food to the service, everything about this place felt perfect. Dunn's has definitely earned a top spot on our list, & we'll absolutely be coming back.
This is my go-to spot for when I am hosting out-of-towners who arrive late. The smoked meat & poutine are really great examples of what Montreal has to offer!

L'entrée Combo double D était vraiment bonne 👌
Il manquerait juste un peu de miel pour accompagner les onion rings.
Mon repas principal était le wrap mexicain : très bon 🌯
Il manquerait seulement un petit cup de sauce pour l'accompagner, soit mayo ou chipotle, mais sinon c'était excellent.
Le riz était correct, on goûtait bien les légumes.
Pour la poutine, elle était plutôt ordinaire honnêtement. Les frites étaient correctes & le fromage bon, mais c'est surtout la sauce que j'ai moins aimée. La sauce est un mix de sucré & très poivré, un goût qui se rapproche un peu de celle du Costco.
Petit plus pour l'ambiance : les tables sont vraiment cool avec leur design, ça ajoute au style du resto 👌
Côté service : 10/10 🔥
Deuxième fois que je viens & le service est toujours A1. Serveurs super sympathiques & attentionnés.
Je ne recommande pas leur poutine au smoke meat. Manque grandement de sauce, c'est une poutine sèche, avec un peu de fromage, mais beaucoup de miettes de smoke meat... À 25$, je m'attendais à une super poutine!
Went on a Monday night around 8:00 PM. We were greeted at the door, & quickly taken to a booth (as requested). We each ordered a smoked meat plate.
There is a very varied menu from salads, poutine, smoked meat offerings, burgers etc.. In order to leave room for their famous Strawberry Cheesecake, we both chose to only eat half of the smoked meat plate. The background music is oldies, which is loud enough to hear, but not so loud that you cannot hear yourself talk. It was indeed a pleasant ending to a busy & tiring day. Service was very attentive, & our server, Christopher, went out of his way to accomodate our requests.

Dunn's is one of the few remaining places that still opens until very late in the night which is really nice for people like me that eat dinner very late. The service was friendly & quite pleasant. The food was served quite quickly too & all the waiters were quite polite. The noise level was pretty low & the tables are pretty spacious which makes the dining experience more enjoyable. I was however seated on a table with a broken booth. The leather was ripped open & the seat was quite uncomfortable the whole meal. For the food, the flavours are pretty on point & the quality of the ingredients are pretty good. I really enjoy their smoked meat which has a good balance of fat & meat. The carbonara that I had on the other hand wasn't too amazing in my opinion. I feel like there was just too much cream & it was overwhelming the flavours of everything else. It made the whole meal taste like nothing but cream & it wasn't that enjoyable. The poutines & the pizzas were pretty good though. The portions are also pretty decent considering that each meal is charged around 20-25$.
Le Reuben était incroyable, je l'ai pris médium, changer la frite en poutine. C'est pour cela que c'était plus chère 40$ avec tx & pourboire. Quand c'est bon ça me dérange pas de payer. Tout était très bon du sandwich à la salade de chou!!
Petit dîner de fin de semaine. Portion de poutine raisonnable & bien garnie avec assez de sauce. Pizza est très bonne mais croûte très mince (pourrais être amélioré). Les saveurs étaient la. Nous avons eu un excellent service & le tout très rapidement.
