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.
First stop on our recent trip to Montreal. Smoked meat sandwich was spot on & dunns famous poutine lives up to the hype. My poutine-lovin' husband was very happy. Also great music & chill vibe. Friendly servers.

It's open at 2am, the service is reliable, the smoked meat sandwiches are *chef's kiss* & its not pizza or poutine (although they'll serve you the latter if you want). It's a bit pricey for a sandwich & fries, but then what isn't these days?
We didn't realize it was a chain til after we sat down. We had our first poutine & smoked meat sandwich here. After having three other versions at various places in Montreal that were more refined we voted that they were much better.
Schwartz probably is the most famous in Montreal for smoked meat, this place is also recommended & because of all the constructions around it now on a late afternoon there's no wait. So having a petit combo per waitress recommendation 33+CAD hit 2 Montreal's specialty at once--smoked meat & poutine. They were delicious enough for me, not sure if I go to Schwartz (smoked meat) & La Banquise (Poutine) I can really tell that much difference as I'm no food connoisseur.
Good dive bar styled chain poutine spot. My first stop in Montreal downtown the last few trips to get my smoked meat poutine bearings straight to begin trying other local spots. There are many better places out there, but this is always right near where I stay & part of my "get supplies for the weekend" run after I get off the plane. Quick beer & meal & then off to the rest of the trip.
Ok food fast in an ok atmosphere. Sit toward front to avoid fruit flies buzzing tables in back. Worst poutine in Montreal. Hard to disappoint with Poutine but Dunns dun it. Smoked meet was dry. Add sauerkraut or something to add necessary moisture
Felt like a classic Montréal experience. Visiting from out of town, we felt like it was authentic & great food. Had the smoked meat & poutine, of course! Highly recommend especially for out of town guests.

Poutine was quite underwhelming. Fries were soggy & room temp. Smoked meat was not impressive either. My friend also got the Dunn's famous pasta which was meh but then again why would anyone go to Dunn's for pasta?
This was me & my friends' first stop for our Montreal trip. Our hotel wasn't ready so we left the bags & explored for a bit. My friend said he knew exactly what we were going to do & looked up a place to get poutine. We both shared the montreal smoked meat poutine. Delicious! The gravy was light & the smoked meat added the salt. Definitely a place worth stopping
I ordered a smoked meat bagel & my friends got the smoked meat poutine, hot chicken sandwich & smoked meat sandwich. It was very good & large portions. Good value
We tried Dunn's for the first time & the service was impeccably fast. The host was patient with us as well. Although we ordered take-out, the place had a nice ambiance with lots of seating. We got poutine as well as the smoked meat sandwich. We also ordered the Dunn's famous smoked meat poutine & the smoked meat burger. The smoked meat poutine was covered in smoked meat & packed with flavour. There was a perfect ratio of cheese curds to gravy to fries as well. The smoked meat burger did not quite live up to our expectations. The burger patty itself was dry & there was only a few slices of smoked meat. On the other hand, the smoked meat sandwich was great! Highly recommend. If you're ever in Montreal, definitely hit up this spot.
