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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
SO disappointing. Got 50$ of takeout for a small sandwich & a platter. The sandwich has small hairs in it, how to keep your appetite after that? The platter had such a small amount of meat, 90% fries. As another reviewer said, they aren't giving proper portions for what you are paying for. Two stars for the meat being tasty but thats it.
I go for everything else cause I like that better
Latka
Smoke meat pizza
Egg rolls
Onion rings
Seriously, I rarely eat the smoke meat sandwich there
Service was great
The atmosphere is okay but I was there for the food not to soak in any atmosphere lol
Try anything Jewish & it's the best
Visiting from Vancouver, the place was clean, service was prompt. Food I feel was overrated, $27 for a Reuben sandwich....I feel that was a bit much for what you get.

Good Vibes, Good Food & Top Notch Service!👌🏼 Alain Is The Best! Customer Service At Heart! Perfect Spot For A Tasty Smoked Meat Sandwich At 3:30 A.M.!💯
Tried the take out menu large smoked meat sandwich fries & coleslaw with dill pickle. The large sandwich was stuffed with a good serving of meat flavour was very good. It could have used a bit more mustard, but that's me. Fries were good & hot pickle good & crunchy,coleslaw good too. Staff were friendly & food was ready pretty quickly.
Excellents sandwiches à la viande fumée (les frites = ✨), service rapide, ambiance Montréal rétro intéressante. 5 étoiles! (si vous aimez ce type de cuisine, évidemment)
