Myer Dunn founded Dunn's Famous Restaurant in 1927. Due to my grandfather's unique recipes and high quality standards, Dunn's Famous quickly became a local institution for Montrealers and visitors alike.
In keeping with the Dunn's Famous tradition, I invite you to visit one of our locations and experience what montrealer's have been raving about for years.

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.
It was a quick in & out for me as it was in the middle of the night. I was surprised they were open until 4 am! Their smoked meat was excellent! I had it in their famous sandwich & also in pasta, which were the most fantastic of both. Definitely recommend!
A great place if you want smoked meat without the lineup at Schwartz. I also enjoy the fact you can choose your cut of meat (I like fatty meat!) their black cherry cola is also really REALLY good.
If you don't want to be sucked into that famout tourist spot, I highly recommend coming to Dunn's!

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.
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!
The smoked meat was so delicious. The waitress recommended the medium fat vs the lean. I was so glad because it tasted very good. It was moist & flavourful. We liked it alot more than Schwartz's. Yes, it is more expensive but the portions are much bigger. I had the small combo & could only eat half of it. The coleslaw was very tasty. The fries were good. The service was friendly. We are definitely coming back here.
Belle ambiance comme toujours. Tous est bon mais la seule chose c'est qu'il y a des fritures partout. Ses salades sont généralement généreuses & bonnes. Le burger le Parisien est délicieux. La viande fumée aussi. Le fish & chips. Aussi le hot dog que ma fille a demandé était géant. Je recommande.
