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, reviews describe Dunn's Famous as a reliable destination for smoked meat with generous portions and a broad menu that includes poutine, latkes, salads, and desserts. The smoked meat is repeatedly praised for its tenderness and the option to choose lean, medium, or fatty; sides like fries, pickles, and coleslaw are often highlighted as well prepared. Service is generally friendly, fast, and attentive, and the restaurant is noted for cleanliness and a cozy atmosphere, though a few visits mention slower moments or less consistent meat quality. Takeout is described as quick and convenient, and prices are considered reasonable for the quantity and quality received. Taken together, Dunn's Famous emerges as a dependable, crowd-pleasing deli option with memories of past visits echoed by many diners, alongside occasional criticisms regarding value or consistency.
Great food the Dunn's poutine was a big portion & quite filling. The fries were crispy & the sauce was good & the smoked me is on point. Service was good as well with my server checking in for refills & to make sure the food was to my taste. The atmosphere is clean & classic looking but I find the music is a little loud for the environment & to be able to converse with others.
I ate there for lunch with some people from work. They have two sizes of sandwich regular & super. I got the super thinking it would be big. In the end it was just a regular sandwich which tasted like rubber. I can't believe they call that a super sandwich. It was not big, just a regular sandwich. The fries tasted cold & old. The coleslaw had a terrible after taste. I am never going back there again, if you want excellent smoke meat go to George's deli next door. The portions are double the size. You get so much more meat, hot fries, & a full bowl of coleslaw with a huge pickle unlike Dunn's who gives you half the portions. Sorry Dunn's I won't be coming back.
Smoke meat - bom | Poutine - bom | Bebidas - mau | Staff e serviço - mau | Restaurante - médio.
Assim nao vale a pena mencionar e valorizar o nome Dunn's. 😩
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 !!!
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.

This Dunn's has the best food from all the franchise, the service is always welcoming & efficient. Everything we tried from the salads to the smoked meat was great. I love that you can choose if you want your smoked meat lean, medium or fat. I usually don't like smoked meat because it is overly salted & too fat, but I got a bagel sandwich with lean smoked meat & it was amazing; the meat was buttery soft, not excessively salty & just the right amount of fat to my liking! Their poutines are also great, with a nice dark sauce & lots of cheese. Also, I couldn't leave without getting the warm cookie with ice cream for dessert, my favorite!
Hit Dunns again this week for the usual smoked meat sandwich, fries & latka!
Medium fat.
Perfect sandwich. Excellent latka.

I enjoyed Dunns 50 years ago when Myer Dunn would stand outside the restaurant on St. Catherine's street & invite the bar crowd to stop in for coffee & cheesecake.
Now we go to Dunns on St Martin in Laval. Myer is long past, but the smoked meat is every bit as good as ever.
My go to meals is a large sandwich, medium fat, cole slaw, fries, black cherry soda, & of course... World famous strawberry cheesecake!
For sure, a meal to be ordered rarely with a nod to the waistline. For me, Dunns sandwich & cheesecake is Montreal! Highly recommend.
Im used to going to dunns in greenfield park so i had no reason to think it would be bad here. But the service & food were quite bad compared to the other places. My girlfriend ordered a club roll which usually is full.of smoked meat, beef & chicken salami but like there was only one VERY VERY thin slice of smoked meat (see the photo)
Also, i ordered extra cheese & meat for my poutine, & when i saw what i got, i waited to get the waiters attention to ask him if he could check if there was extra but couldnt even see him. After 5mins i gave up & started eating because it was getting cold. By the time the waiter came back, it was 20mins mins later where we were basically done eating & he came back to fill out water glasses. 20mins for a refill is long...
Normally we have our waiter come ask us if everything is ok, if the foods good or if we need anything else. Nothing from this guy. Kinda relieved that this isnt the kind of service & food we have in greenfield park

Absolutely a MUST if in the area. Beats Schwartz all day long! Dunn's also has its original location in downtown Montreal - amazing smoked meat & everything else on the menu is just as delicious. This is where the locals go to get best smoked meat!
We visited Dunn's with a softball team & all of the parents, so it was a very large group.
Orders were taken within a reasonable amount of time, & the kitchen was very efficient to get our orders out
The menu is huge, with something for everyone.
My husband ordered the smoked meat sandwich, & I had the smoked meat club.
What you don't see in the photos are the best pickle & a delicious bowl of slaw under the mound of fries.
Parking was plentiful.
I cannot say enough good things about Dunn's. I live outside of Quebec, but every time I visit, I make it a priority to stop in for the most amazing smoked meat on the planet! In fact, everything on the menu is fantastic, including the desserts. The freshness of all the ingredients & the homemade recipes are truly scrumptious! I highly recommend it!
J'ai visité Dunn's il y a quelques semaines. La réception a pris ma commande ds les 3 minutes de mon arrivée, & la commande était prête dans les 5 minutes.
L'ambiance était généralement tranquille.
Excellent mais j'aimerais donner mon avis à l'entreprise Dunn's Famous. Je suis très déçu que le hot roasbeef est été enlever du menu car c etait un de mes repas préféré tout resto confondu. J'aimerais que ce choix revienne dans le menu & c'est clair que j'y retournerais davantage. Merci de votre écoute !
I had lunch at Dunn's Famous & I really enjoyed my meal, I took the "Super Combo Smoked Meat" & it was delicious! The staff were friendly & the service was quick to get our meal. Very clean & organized, great atmosphere. I would recommend this restaurant if you're in the mood for great smoked meat.
I recently visited Dunn's restaurant in Laval. The food was great & very flavorful. However, we had to wait a considerable amount of time to place our order as no one attended to us promptly. While the meal was enjoyable, the slow service was disappointing. I hope they can improve their customer service for a better dining experience.
