We ordered the smoked meat plate only to get home & find they didn't put the coleslaw & pickles in our bag. Check your order before you leave. Don't trust them to get it right.

Fast, clean, delicious. LARGE portions. Two of us shared the large smoked meat sandwich & fries (upgraded to poutine) & could not finish it! Comes with a crisp coleslaw & pickle half.

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.

The star of the show, of course, is the smoked meat. It is consistently tender, flavorful, & piled high, living up to the nearly century-old reputation of the Dunn's name. Every bite confirms why this brand remains a cornerstone of Montreal's culinary identity.

Beyond the food, what really elevates this spot is the staff. The service is consistently friendly, attentive, & welcoming, making you feel like a regular from the moment you sit down. Whether you're grabbing a late-night bite or a hearty dinner with friends, the team here goes the extra mile to ensure your experience is top-notch.

If you value tradition, incredible smoked meat, & a warm, retro vibe, I strongly recommend making a trip to Dunn's in Laval. It is a reliable, high-quality staple that delivers exactly what you crave every single time.

I cannot for the life of me understand how this is considered by many a passable smoked meat place. It was a disgusting, dry baloney tasting piece of trash for 28$

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!!!
