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.

Dunn's Famous is seen as a dependable spot for smoked meat with consistently flavorful meat, generous portions, and quick service, though some visits note that the poutine can be underwhelming and a few plates are drier or greasier than hoped, while the prices can feel high to some diners. The menu is varied and praised for creative uses of smoked meat beyond classic sandwiches, with desserts like strawberry cheesecake often highlighted as a standout, and sides such as fries receiving mixed remarks. Service is described as friendly, attentive, and efficient by many, though a few experiences mention slower pacing or timing issues, depending on the crowd. Ambience ranges from stylish table designs and warm welcomes to calls for refreshing the decor at certain locations, but the overall impression is that the restaurant delivers solid food and good value for portions. Taken together, Dunn's Famous earns praise for its signature smoked meat and generous servings while inviting occasional critique on specific items and price, making it a go to choice for smoked meat lovers seeking a reliable dining experience.

If you like deli food & especially smoked meat then this is the place for you. I especially like the fact that they have creative ways of integrating smoked meat in different dishes instead of just sandwiches.
Le sandwich jumbo n'est plus tant jumbo, mais le prix lui, oui. Le plateau entrée à partager a été bien apprécié . C'est toujours déplaisant quand on passe le balai à côté de sa table quand on mange. Je me dis que les portions tellement réduites, les vaporisateurs chimiques pour laver les tables voisines & le balai enlèvent le goût de revenir.
Dunn's ne prétend pas être un temple de la haute gastronomie, mais ce restaurant excelle dans ce qu'il propose : un smoked meat savoureux & généreux, toujours à la hauteur des attentes. Chaque visite est une expérience agréable grâce à un service irréprochable. Le personnel, en particulier les serveuses, se distingue par sa gentillesse & son attention. Notre coup de coeur va sans conteste aux sandwichs, le smoked meat est tout simplement délicieux. Le medium bien équilibré : ni trop gras, ni trop sec, avec une texture fondante, un bon assaisonnement, & des saveurs. Une belle adresse qui mérite le détour sur la rive sud ! L'établissement lui-même est irréprochable : propre, accueillant & doté d'une ambiance conviviale qui donne envie de revenir. Pour ceux qui recherchent un repas simple, réconfortant & bien exécuté, Dunn's est un choix sûr & fiable pour un craving de smoked meat.
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!!

C'est établissement est vieillissant, les tables peuvent en témoigner. Les employés sont très sympathiques & serviables. Par contre, le pain de mon sandwich Ruben (maigre) était tellement mouillé qu'il m'as fallut le manger à la fourchette, dans une assiette fait comme un panier d'osier c'est pas facile...
My first try of Dunn's & it was a nice meal.
The welcome was a bit unpleasant the lady who showed me to my table was a little rude. But my waiter was very nice.
I had the large sandwich with fries & it was very nice.
I would definitely order it again & I would definitely come back again.
