First time in Montreal, & Dunn's Famous was highly recommended to me for its iconic smoked meat sandwich & poutine. The atmosphere was great, & the service was friendly & attentive.

Unfortunately, the food didn't quite live up to my expectations. It was my first time trying the smoked meat sandwich & poutine, & while neither was bad, I personally found them a little underwhelming & not as special as I had expected.

I'm glad I gave it a try, but based on my experience, I probably wouldn't go back.

Absolutely amazing experience. The smoked meat was incredibly flavorful, tender, & perfectly seasoned, definitely one of the best I've had. The potato skins were crispy, loaded, & so satisfying, & the egg rolls were fresh, crunchy, & packed with flavor. Everything came out hot & delicious. Great food, generous portions, & a place I would happily come back to again. Highly recommend!

This restaurant was recommended by our hop on hop off bus tour guide so we were a little weary that it was a touristy place. We were so wrong. It was so good! The service was so fast, very friendly & the ambiance gives Cheers vibes. Everyone was happy with their food: kids chicken tenders, kids pizza, poutine, french onion soup, kids spaghetti, Thai chicken salad & the Dunn's black cherry soda. Hearty portions too. Highly recommend for a nice variety of food options & some delicious Montreal specialties!

My husband & I enjoyed a delicious smoked meat sandwich with a poutine, & we highly recommend it! Our daughter enjoyed a Caesar salad with grilled chicken & I was surprised to notice it even had capers, very well done!!!
They serve Pepsi products, but some people like that option.

A delicious smoked meat sandwich as always. Service was prompt & friendly. The only negative observation would be that the washroom is in need of a reno/makeover. Highly recommended for lunch.
