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.

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.
The person at the cash didn't properly explain the difference between lean & medium meat. I ended up taking 1 lean & 1 medium order & both of them were dry.
Première visite à ce restaurant malgré qu'on me l'ait conseillé à quelques reprises. L'endroit est agréable, le personnel est efficace & la décoration est bien choisie. Pour ce qui est de la nourriture j'ai été bien déçu. C'est rare que ça arrive mais je crois pouvoir dire que je n'y retournerai jamais. La viande fumée était froide, sèche & mal assaisonnée. La majorité des frites dans nos assiettes étaient trop cuites, le cornichon n'était pas très bon mais la salade de choux était correcte ... Dans le futur lorsque j'aurai une envie soudaine de viande fumée j'irai au redtaurant l'As du Smoked Meat ou bien chez Jarry Smoked meat.
On adore, service impeccable, meilleur smoked meat, frites de patates douces incroyable, gâteau au fromage divin. On y retourne encore & encore même si on est un peu loin.
Asked for medium smoked meat, & 3/4 of the meat we got was just fat. When we told it to the waitress, she gladly offer to exchange it but we were in a hurry & didn't want to waste time. She still brought more meat, & it was hilarious because the meat was again mostly fat. This wasn't medium as well, a bit weird when your specialty is supposed to be smoked meat & I have eaten at other Dunn's location without any problems in the past. What we got shouldn't even be served.
I wish i took pictures. The bad: i ordered the smoked meat super combo & I asked for Onion Rings instead of fries. I was charged $4 more for the Onion Rings & when i opened the box at home there was literally 7 onions rings in the box. I figured for $4 MORE i would get a decent amount of onion rings. So not only was I not discounted for no fries (which is part of the price) but i was overcharged for 7 onion rings. So I paid $32 for a sandwich, a slice of pickle, the smalles coleslaw I have seen in a while & 7 onion rings. Never again Dunns... The good: sandwich was amazing as usual & stacked high. Staff was nice. & the food came out quickly. I love Dunns Smoked meat but this pricing has gotten way out of control.
J'ai été agréablement surpris du restaurant! De l'intérieur comme de l'extérieur son style année 70s va vous charmer dès le premier coup d'oeil. À l'intérieur on peut y voir des belles photos laminées au mur de la chaîne de restaurant lorsqu'elle a débuté. J'ai reçu un excellent service & très rapide! J'ai même été surpris lorsque j'ai reçu mon assiette, je croyais qu'il s'était trompé de table tellement c'était rapide hahaha! La nourriture était excellente! Le restaurant offrent de très grosse portion même pour une personne comme moi qui est un bon mangeur... Si vous n'aviez qu'un seul plat à essayer, je vous recommande sans aucun doute le sandwich Reuben! L'un des meilleurs sandwich smooke-meat que j'ai eu l'occasion d'essayer 👌🏻
