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.
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!
Ça fait plusieurs années que j'y vais & c'est toujours délicieux! Service rapide & efficace. La nourriture est délicieuse, je recommande les latkas & la salade au poulet thaïe.
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.
Im used to going to dunns in greenfield park so i had no reason to think it would be bad here. But the service & food were quite bad compared to the other places. My girlfriend ordered a club roll which usually is full.of smoked meat, beef & chicken salami but like there was only one VERY VERY thin slice of smoked meat (see the photo)
Also, i ordered extra cheese & meat for my poutine, & when i saw what i got, i waited to get the waiters attention to ask him if he could check if there was extra but couldnt even see him. After 5mins i gave up & started eating because it was getting cold. By the time the waiter came back, it was 20mins mins later where we were basically done eating & he came back to fill out water glasses. 20mins for a refill is long...
Normally we have our waiter come ask us if everything is ok, if the foods good or if we need anything else. Nothing from this guy. Kinda relieved that this isnt the kind of service & food we have in greenfield park

Absolutely a MUST if in the area. Beats Schwartz all day long! Dunn's also has its original location in downtown Montreal - amazing smoked meat & everything else on the menu is just as delicious. This is where the locals go to get best smoked meat!
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.
The food was excellent. We went to try some authentic poutine & we weren't disappointed. The portion sizes are massive. Our server basically ignored us after the food came though, when when we were finished & waiting for the bill. Other than that, great place to eat & would highly recommend the poutine.
Although the food is a little pricey, the thai chicken salad was delicious & the service was great. Our waiter was always available if we wanted more sauces or water.
Un ami nous y a emmené pour la première fois, moi qui adore le smoked meeting, j'aime en goûter a plusieurs endroit... Bon poir ma part la viande est bonne je donnerais un 8.9 sur 10... elle était un peu grasse comme je l'aime, peu goûteuse, je sentais pas les épices dans la viande mais c'était bon quand méme ! Il y avait beaucoup de monde quand nous y sommes allés, alors le service était un peu lent mais pas catastrophique. On aurait aimé avoir plus de service au table pour les choses à boire on en a manquer durant le repas malheureusement ! Sommes toute le resto a une ambiance année 60 c'est assez cool, les assiettes bien garnies & je recommande !
