Dunn's Famous consistently receives high praise for its iconic Montreal smoked meat, which many diners describe as tender, flavorful, and available in customizable fat levels to suit individual preferences. While the menu offers a wide variety of diner-style classics like poutine, latkes, and cheesecake, experiences with service and food consistency can occasionally vary between locations. Most patrons appreciate the generous portions and the efficient, friendly nature of the staff, often highlighting the welcoming atmosphere for both late-night meals and group gatherings. Although some visitors note concerns regarding pricing, portion sizes, or occasional lapses in service quality, the majority of reviewers view the establishment as a reliable, classic destination for authentic comfort food.
If you are looking for an authentic taste of Montreal's deli history without the downtown hustle, Dunn's Famous in Laval is a true hidden gem. While it may not be a cheap'fast-food' style dinner, the experience is well worth the price for anyone who appreciates quality comfort food & a classic atmosphere.
Walking into the Laval location feels like stepping back in time. The vintage, old-school diner decor-complete with cozy booths & a nostalgic charm-sets the stage perfectly for a serious meal. It's the kind of place that feels comfortable & established, offering a welcome break from the more modern, sterile restaurants that dominate the area.

Une expérience absolument parfaite du début à la fin ! Cela faisait longtemps que je n'avais pas mangé un aussi bon smoke meat : la viande était savoureuse & les portions sont vraiment généreuses. On en a clairement pour notre argent. 🥩
Au-delà de la nourriture, c'est le service qui fait toute la différence. Le serveur était incroyablement accueillant, souriant & dégageait une belle énergie positive. C'est rare de recevoir un accueil aussi sympathique & dynamique de nos jours, & ça rend le repas encore meilleur !
Un service exceptionnel dans une ambiance conviviale. Je recommande cet endroit sans aucune hésitation à tous les amateurs de bonne bouffe. J'y retournerai, c'est certain ! 👌✨
Ça fait plusieurs années que j'y vais & c'est toujours délicieux! Service rapide & efficace. La nourriture est délicieuse, je recommande les latkas & la salade au poulet thaïe.
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.
Le meilleur endroit pour manger un sandwich au smoked meat. La viande est vraiment savoureuse, le service est rapide & excellent. J'adore cet endroit, je le recommande fortement.
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.
Un ami nous y a emmené pour la première fois, moi qui adore le smoked meeting, j'aime en goûter a plusieurs endroit... Bon poir ma part la viande est bonne je donnerais un 8.9 sur 10... elle était un peu grasse comme je l'aime, peu goûteuse, je sentais pas les épices dans la viande mais c'était bon quand méme ! Il y avait beaucoup de monde quand nous y sommes allés, alors le service était un peu lent mais pas catastrophique. On aurait aimé avoir plus de service au table pour les choses à boire on en a manquer durant le repas malheureusement ! Sommes toute le resto a une ambiance année 60 c'est assez cool, les assiettes bien garnies & je recommande !
10/10 , notre serveur Alain était incroyable malgré l'heure tardive , il garde le sourire, la bonne humeur & un service à la clientèle impeccable! Nous recommandons! Demandez Alain
De : ses amours!
