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.
Dunn's is a fantastic & legendary place to get your Montreal Smoked Meat sandwiches. The place is old & comfortable. The service here is great. We came in for lunch as the restaurant was opening & within 10 minutes it was completely full. Its so great to see. The food was great. The sandwiches were great & so was the poutine.. heavy.. but good. The item which I enjoyed the most was definitely the Latkes. Just fantastic. Wonderful place.
Always love coming to Dunn's. Poutine never disappoints & I love getting the latkes. Service is always great. Our waitress (forgot her name unfortunately) was very pleasant & always checked to make sure we were good. Atmosphere is always enjoyable. Not too busy & the overall restaurant just feels very nostalgic. Always a must visit whenever i'm in Montreal.

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!
The ambiance was classic for a taste of Montreal smoke meat sandwich's & poutine. The two of us shared the Super Combo Smoked meat sandwich & replaced our fries with Quebecoise poutine (+$7). It was the perfect amount of food. The coleslaw had a great zing that cut through the richness of the sandwich & poutine. Not super busy with friendly & fast service. Price was very reasonable & not overpriced. A definite must visit.
Dunn's Famous poutine was delicious! Can taste their smoked meat, which was very good. The fries were a bit crispy even down to the bottom of the bowl. Curds were mostly melted so no squeaking, but I prefer melted. Chill place with attentive servers.
My family & I like their poutine & other family friendly dishes like spaghetti & yummy desserts. First time here while visiting Montreal. Don't know if their poutine is better than La Banquise but thought their big bowl of poutine was delicious.
I hate to leave anything less than a stellar review for a legacy institution like Dunn's...but it was okay. Don't think I'd recommend the smoked meet egg rolls which were more like pizza pockets. The poutine was pretty good but think for the next try I'd keep it traditional. Quite a few interesting poutine varieties. I'd certainly give it another try with different choices for the next visit.

Visited fairly late at night on 8/22. Sat promptly then seemingly forgotten about for 10mins or so. It was pretty busy so I won't get too worked up. Gentleman came to take order, nice guy. I need to preface this next part with, I HATE pickles. Not, "oh darn there's a pickle on that, I'll just take it off", more "oh there's a pickle on that, never eating as it is infected, & I should burn the building down to be safe". I communicate that in a way to every server so they get it. My brother also piled on reminding our server I didn't want a pickle on the coleslaw. So, the coleslaw showed up with a pickle.... so not eating that. Yes I could have tried returning, but I didn't pay enough attention in French class & it's coleslaw right? Why make a big deal when I can do it later online.... Sandwich was... good? I mean it was yummy but not crazy. The poutine... The fries & cheese were fine, but go easy on the thyme or rosemary in the gravy. Edible but not memorable. Oh.. & the reason for 3 stars instead of 4? that meal plus a pop was $43.82 with tip. Not worth it... at all.
Great place to dine. Pepperoni pizza was excellent. Large portions on everything. The Poutine needed fine salt on the fries before the gravy is pored on. Service was a little slow, but the young guy who eventually served us was very attentive & very friendly.
One of the best smoked meat & poutine in Montreal I've tried. My favourite is Combo Smoked Meat Sandwich that you can substitute fries to poutine & 2 people can share. Make sure to order the middle fat smoked meat, super tasty & melts in mouth
