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 as a classic deli with consistently good smoked meat and a menu that lets you pick lean, medium or fat cuts, plus ample sides like fries, latkes, coleslaw and pickles. Many reviews highlight generous portions, good value for the price, fast friendly service, and a clean, cozy setting, with desserts such as cheesecake being a hit. While the majority praise the quality and reliability, some visits note variations in meat texture, overly salty sides, and occasional slow or impersonal service, along with a few takeout or billing hiccups. A sense of nostalgia and tradition shows through in several notes, and the restaurant is frequently recommended to smoked meat lovers as a dependable and popular choice.
Ce week-end ua 3 sm envi d un bon smoke meat artet chez dunn j'écrivais
A cité 10/10 chaleur gout service il me manquait 2 dollars le jeune aucune hésitation réglé le manque je retourne demain porter merci tout etais parfait
We just went to Dunns in Laval..portions of smoked meats are ridiculously small especially compared to SMOKE MEAT PETE…a smoked meat platter is most definitely not worth it!!!
We Will never go back !!!
Last time I went I was a little disappointed. I was expecting same experience we had 50 years ago downtown. I guess, like most things today,quality ain't the same.

Had the smoked meat platter & my wife had the Reuben plate. Every item was excellent. I ordered lean smoked meat, & it came beautifully sliced & lean. The fries were non greasy yet golden brown, hot & tasty. The pickle was crunchy & not overly salty. The coleslaw was bang on. Even the waiter was great. My wife who is always critical, loved her meal. Bravo!
Service rapide & repas frais.
La viande n'est pas la meilleure au gout dans le domaine mais je dois avouer que j'aime mieux la salade de chou offerte en accompagnement chez Dunns.
Le service est exemplaire & rapide, un des point fort de ce type de restaurant.
Ambiance un peu terne, éclairage inegal, televisions petites pour de grands espaces mais tout est propre & soigné.
I had the small smoked meat sandwich, medium fat. The meat was good, the fries were ok. The pickle & the coleslaw were a bit too salty.
Overall, it was good.

The waiter acted like he did not want to be there.
The meat is a bit on the fat side.
The main issue is the tip: amount are suggested on the bill, & the machine is calculating the tip on the total including taxes. Both are illegal.
Expensive.
Celebrating my cousins 50 th birthday , we were 2 couples. First & foremost, the music was fantastic. Brought us back to the good old 80's , where music made sense. Then , the service from our bus boy, Cristiano & waiter , Greg , was very professional. They both served us with smiles & great attitude . The place is clean & cozy. We will be going back again & will definitely be sharing our experience with others . Merry Christmas to all !!
