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.
Cool place to eat at night. Safe place to eat fresh & good food. It's not sophisticated for but smoke meat, rubben, chicken cab salade are my favorites...
destin is the best employee that works there, if you go ask for destin, you will never get bad service ever! he deserves a major raise, the only reason me & my friends go is to see him & his wonderful energy, truly an amazing employee, we adore him!
We came by around 10:30PM Tuesday night. We were seated by what we believe to be the busboy, who was kind. We waited around 15 to 20 minutes to have our order taken. In this time, the only waitress was running around huffing & puffing angrily / annoying. We placed our order, & we were primarily served by the busboy, who was kind. When the bill came, we tipped 4.50$ for two people, considering we were hardly served. The waitress quickly left our table & did not wish us a good night or care. She did not look at us & seemed angry about the tip. I am extremely disappointed in the service received by the waitress. She passed by once to ask us how our food is after we were almost done & then for the payment. There was no interation before then.
