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.
