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.
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.!💯
Initially I went for the smoked meat but the waitress didn't want to accommodate my need so no choice to take something else. Indeed, I asked to have only the smoked meat by the Lb in a plate without bread, fries etc but the waitress didn't accept & didn't even try to propose an alternative. She said that you could get Smoked meat by the Lb as it was only for takeout but not dine-in which is absolutely ridiculous & doesn't make sense. I took the hot dog which was 100% beef & a cheap option considering that I removed the bread & didn't touch the fries. Overall, nothing special & nothing wow so I don't think I will ever come back to this spot. This is also the reason why I didn't take any pictures or videos, not really worth the time.
For someone interested in their Smoked Meat, I don't really recommend the place since their menu is not flexible at all.

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.
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.
Food was decent & good for the price. I'm likely just spoiled on smoked meat having eaten at places such as Katz's Deli. Service was awesome though & our server was very friendly.
De las mejores opciones para comer el famoso y delicioso smoked meat de Canada, no importa lo que pidan, sera delicioso. Buen servicio, platillos generosos.
The food quality is degrading... Got 2 smoked meat sandwiches, they were vere dry. The level of fat was not as asked during the order. Used to be a good place for smoked meat dishes, last 2 orders were disappointing.
It's not often I get an opportunity to visit Montreal. Had a business trip there this week, & only had time for one personal meal & I wanted good local smoked meat. A colleague out of our Montreal office recommended Dunn's as it was close to the hotel, & I have to say, I was beyond impressed with their service, & the quality of the Reuben we got. After a long flight from Calgary to Montreal, with a near three-hour delay, this was our first stop upon arrival & it was a fantastic welcome to Montreal. The meat was perfectly juicy with the right fattiness to complement the texture & flavours - incroyable! Not to mention a properly done coleslaw that I haven't had in a while. It was so good that before flying back to Calgary, I popped in en route to the airport to get two sandwiches to bring back to Calgary for my wife. The staff was very accommodating in deconstructing the sandwiches & packaging the meat separately to avoid the bread getting soggy. My wife was beyond ecstatic & thoroughly enjoyed the sandwiches when I arrived home. I promised her I would bring her to Dunn's in person whenever we find ourselves out east again, & it will for sure be the Laval location! Well done Team Dunn's. I can see why you've been in business since 1927! Merci beaucoup!
