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.
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 !
SO disappointing. Got 50$ of takeout for a small sandwich & a platter. The sandwich has small hairs in it, how to keep your appetite after that? The platter had such a small amount of meat, 90% fries. As another reviewer said, they aren't giving proper portions for what you are paying for. Two stars for the meat being tasty but thats it.
10/10 , notre serveur Alain était incroyable malgré l'heure tardive , il garde le sourire, la bonne humeur & un service à la clientèle impeccable! Nous recommandons! Demandez Alain
De : ses amours!
I go for everything else cause I like that better
Latka
Smoke meat pizza
Egg rolls
Onion rings
Seriously, I rarely eat the smoke meat sandwich there
Service was great
The atmosphere is okay but I was there for the food not to soak in any atmosphere lol
Try anything Jewish & it's the best
I cannot say enough good things about Dunn's. I live outside of Quebec, but every time I visit, I make it a priority to stop in for the most amazing smoked meat on the planet! In fact, everything on the menu is fantastic, including the desserts. The freshness of all the ingredients & the homemade recipes are truly scrumptious! I highly recommend it!
