The smoked meat excellent with choices for your fat preference. Atmosphere is nostalgic & unique.. I'm going back next time I am in the area.

Went for lunch the other day, specifically to get smoked meat sandwiches. We wanted to see how Dunn's stacks up against some of the other Montreal smoked meat heavyweights.
I got the'medium' fat & it was delicious. The meat was super tender, juicy, & had great flavor. We were at another place recently, starts with an'S' & in my opinion, this sandwich at Dunn's is slightly better.
Service was great, & our food arrived quickly. The fact that you can get a beer here is a big plus, too!
Bathrooms are freezing cold, as is the water from the sink - like ice! Parking is not easy in the area but you might get lucky on the street.
Excellent smoked meat, good value.

Critical Knife & Fork:
This or Schwartz's? Followed the recommendation of a native of Montreal & tried Dunns. The smoked meat is delicious, just the right amount of tender, fat, & seasoning. The bread can't handle the meat but who cares! Lots of mustard, coleslaw & a dill pickle makes this an unforgettable lunch. & of course the poutine was Devine! Strongly recommend. No nonsense service & a staple of Montreal's food culture.

Excellent poutine & smoked meat! I also liked the table with the map of Montréal on it. I was able to sort out where my car broke down in 2024 & the location of the janky hotel I stayed at 😆

Classic Montreal smoked meat as you'd expect. Tasted good. One of the top smoked meat places in the city. Quick service, our group of 12 were out before 1pm on a weekday.
Small issue with their own black cherry coke. Tasted watered down, despite the high sugar. Keep working that recipe.

My friend & I went out looking for a place that makes grilled cheese sandwiches, as I'd been craving them for months. However, when we got to Dunn's, we realized we'd gotten mixed up with another place from the photos online. By then we were already seated, so I didn't expect much, but I asked anyway if they could make it. Without missing a beat, they said'sure!!' & made it for me. I was so happy I almost cried. The staff's flexibility, friendliness, & easygoing attitude immediately set the tone for our visit. The restaurant's vibe is a perfect mix of 50s diner meets western sports bar, & we were there for it. The food was excellent, the service impeccable, & my friend & I thought that even though we've known this spot was there for years, it finally feels like we've truly discovered it. & with that, needless to say, we already know exactly where we'll be watching the Superbowl ;)

Montreal has been world renowned for it's fine smoked meat since the 1920's, when the first Dunn's opened. 🥪🍖
This branch has been opened since 2000 & couldn't be more downtown if it tried. Perfect place for comfort food before or after a Habs game, or after a night bar hopping on Crescent St.🍻
Last time we went I tried their smoked meat poutine & almost fainted is was so good. Great fries from real potatoes & Dunn's famous smoked meat served with delicious bbq sauce & curds.
You gotta be hungry though... the servings are copious.
Open 24/7 😍
