Montreal has been world renowned for it's fine smoked meat since the 1920's, when the first Dunn's opened. 🥪🍖
This branch has been opened since 2000 & couldn't be more downtown if it tried. Perfect place for comfort food before or after a Habs game, or after a night bar hopping on Crescent St.🍻
Last time we went I tried their smoked meat poutine & almost fainted is was so good. Great fries from real potatoes & Dunn's famous smoked meat served with delicious bbq sauce & curds.
You gotta be hungry though... the servings are copious.
Open 24/7 😍

Showed up at 4:10am & they told me I can not sit down even though others were dining in front of me, they only do poutine & smoked meat (takeout), & that I need to show up before 4:15am for the full menu? I corrected him (& showed him the time) & said actually I need to show up before 4:00am apparently.

Why did you lure me in advertising you're open until 5am? I feel scammed. Waste of my time & gas.

Came for some late night eats at an institution. The food was just what you're looking for, particularly the smoked meats & variety of poutine. Our server Steve seemed to be the only one working in the whole restaurant & was out there HUSTLING.

Je connais ce restaurant depuis des décennies & je le recommandais à mes amis en visite à Montréal. Je n'y étais pas retourné depuis quelque temps. Quelle déception! La qualité s'est beaucoup dégradée. Le pain, la viande, même le cornichon… tout était mauvais, plat, ordinaire. & que dire du prix! La première option est à 22$. Le sandwhich est offert en combo seulement, fini le sandwhich seul ni bien sûr l'option d'un demi-sandwhich. Pour remplacer les frites du combo par une poutine, il nous en a coûté 15 $! Au moins la poutine, elle, était décente. Le menu s'est beaucoup diversifié, le smoked meat est noyé dans toutes sortes de choses; une page entière est consacrée aux cocktails. C'est devenu un resto-bar pour les clients du Centre Bell. Seul le cadre a conservé son charme, le service étant tout juste correct. Bref, si vous cherchez un endroit pour déguster un authentique sandwhich au smoked meat, fuyez celui-ci!
