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.
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.

I ordered the Reuben & a poutine, both were perfectly smoky & delicious! The staff were friendly & respectful, & the service was great. Highly recommend DUNN'S for anyone craving quality smoked meat.
Tried the poutine here & it was absolutely amazing! The fries were crispy, the cheese curds were fresh & squeaky, & the gravy was rich & full of flavor. A true Canadian classic done perfectly! Highly recommend if you're craving comfort food.
Absolutely delicious! I had the famous sandwich & it truly exceeded my expectations - the meat was so tender it literally melted in my mouth. Every bite was full of flavor, & the portion was generous. The experience totally worth it, especially if you're visiting Montreal & want to try something local & satisfying. *Highly recommended* - this place deserves the hype. *Must-try spot* if you love classic deli flavors done right!
Outstanding smoked meat sandwich 👌 I personally recommend getting it medium (vs lean) as the meat will just melt in your mouth 🤤 also, I didn't get the combo as an 8 oz sandwich is more than enough for everyday adults 😉 highly recommend to anyone looking for the real deal!
Exactly what you want from a diner spot - great food, fountain drinks, & friendly service! As a Chicagoan I felt right at home at this place - highly recommend!
Perfect destination for visitors to the city to try Montreal smoked meat. Perfect diner vibes, comforting food that was very tasty & fresh. Service was friendly & down to earth. The fries are unique & scrumptious. Highly recommend their famous strawberry cheesecake, made fresh in-house. It is GIRTHY. One piece is perfect to share. I will be back!
I recently had the pleasure of dining at Dunn's in Montreal, & it was a fantastic experience! The smoked meat sandwich was perfectly seasoned & piled high, just as I had hoped. The service was quick & friendly, making me feel right at home. The cozy atmosphere added to the charm, & I appreciated the attention to detail in both the food & the overall experience. If you're in Montreal & craving an authentic smoked meat sandwich, Dunn's is the place to go. Highly recommend!
It's a Lovely cosy place, I remembered a restaurant in my country, food & beer was beautiful & George our waiter was super lovely guy, onion rings was super! Pizza is not Italian, but something special. highly recommended!
The mister had poutine (excellent) I had a wonderful salad & matzo ball soup. Also had a special bloody Mary. Everything was great, highly recommend Dunns!
We had a fantastic lunch here at Dunn's! We ordered the large combo & upgraded the side to onion rings which were really yummy! The smoked meat is divine, so were all the other dishes we ordered (mozzarella sticks & chicken salad). Highly recommend coming here!
