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 receives praise for its smoked meat, generous portions, and classic diner atmosphere, with many reviewers highlighting lean, medium, or fatty options, solid fries, the pickle and coleslaw, and desserts such as cheesecake; several say the smoked meat is among the best and that the spot is a reliable late night or casual daytime destination. Service is frequently described as fast and friendly with clean, cozy surroundings, yet experiences vary, with some patrons encountering attentive staff and others noting slower or less engaged service or occasional order issues. The value proposition is mixed, with some calling the prices steep for the portions and others feeling the meals are worth the cost, and a few comments mention the meat being overly salted or fatty depending on choice. Takeout and dine-in are both popular, and many reviews praise consistency across menu items like latkes, poutine, and salads, while a minority report disappointments such as small portions or unbalanced meat to bread ratios. A handful of reviews mention billing quirks like suggested tips on the bill and tax based tip calculations. In sum, Dunn's Famous is described as a premier smoked meat destination for fans, offering strong dishes and a welcoming, old timey vibe, with service and value varying by visit and location.
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!
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

The food was excellent. We went to try some authentic poutine & we weren't disappointed. The portion sizes are massive. Our server basically ignored us after the food came though, when when we were finished & waiting for the bill. Other than that, great place to eat & would highly recommend the poutine.
We went to Laval branch not in Montreal, we were a bit worried about speaking English to order, but it not problem at all. I was really eager to try Montreal smoked meat, & of course, we couldn't leave Montreal without having some poutine. When we weren't overly hungry, we decided to order poutine with smoked meat as one of our dishes. "Wow, it's so volumey!" I said when the server brought over the plate. The smoked meat was absolutely fantastic! The poutine was delicious too, but we noticed that mixing the two might not fully bring out their individual flavors. I recommend ordering them separately: smoked meat & poutine. The table setup was adorable, & the atmosphere was fantastic! Merci.
Se n’ai pas famous Mais je ne commanderais plus là-bas car il y a des enfants en Afrique qui il y a pas de nourriture sauf la poutine biensur sur l’ambiance trop de personne qui parle fort

La nourriture est bonne, mais la poutine a toujours très peu de sauce. Ce n'est pas une poutine, mais des frites au smoked meat. C'est dommage. À chaque fois que je commande la poutine, il n'y a presque pas de sauce. Je recommande les burgers, mais pas la poutine.
Boff, je pense pas recommander labas, j'ai utilisé Uber eats pour une commande de fin de soirée & boff la nourriture m'a déçu, j'avais pris une poutine, 1èrement on dirait que les frites étais déjà prête depuis un bout, & il se sont surment dit ; oh avec un peux de sauce & du fromage on verra rien... mais WRONG!! Ça se voit & ca se goûte 😠 ensuite 10$ pour 8 petite ailes de poulet avec en coin une petite salade pas fraîche 😔😒 j'ai vraiment l'impression d'avoir perdu mon argent
