Review Summary

Dunn's Famous is widely regarded as a Montreal landmark for classic smoked meat, with sandwiches that are huge, tender and flavorful, often accompanied by great poutine and crisp fries. The atmosphere blends diner charm with a lively sports bar feel, and the service is typically fast and friendly, making it a reliable late night or post game option. The smoked meat is the star for many, praised for rich flavor and generous portions, though a few notes mention occasional dryness or price concerns and some side dishes needing salt or freshness. Staff are frequently commended for attentiveness and recommendations, while a few experiences cite uneven service or maintenance issues like cold bathrooms. Overall Dunn's Famous delivers comforting, filling meals and a nostalgic Montreal dining experience that many visitors and locals return to for a dependable classic.

You can’t go wrong. One of the classic landmarks in Montreal food. Whether for a quick bite or a late night meal, Dunn’s always delivers. Don’t both with anything else but the smoked meat. Other stuff might be good, but the smoked meat is the highlight. Oh, & order a black cherry pop.

The interior might not be the most exciting, but this place certainly shines in the food department. Their poutine is a standout, easily one of the best you've had. The Montreal smoked meat is also impressive & can hold its own against renowned spots like Schwartz's. While the portion sizes for poutine might be substantial & come with a $20 price tag, it's a splurge that's worth it, especially when shared between two people. So, if you're looking for classic bar vibes & exceptional poutine, this spot seems like a great choice.

First time we try it , we took onion rings as appetizer (very good but no sauce). Then my wife took the famous reuban (Smoked meat , swiss cheese & saurkraut)was a bit better than the burger i had & i took the Classic Cheeseburger (the meat was not good sadly) the fries were just ok. The Service was very good - we got napkins fast without asking.
