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.
Got smoked meat platter & swapped out fries with smoked meat poutine. Great late night dinner after a long day of travel. Smoked meat was great & staff was friendly.
I'd say that it's a pretty standard poutine restaurant. It was greasy but kinda what you'd expect for your guilty pleasure type of food for late nights. The poutine was better than their smoked meat sandwich though.
Dunn's smoked meat was the best we had in all of Montréal. We tried all of the big spots & while they were all great (really good stuff), Dunn's had the best balance of flavor, juiciness, & tenderness. The restaurant itself has a cool old school feel to it. The menu has a ton of variety as well. We had the giant smoked meat sandwich & regular poutine & it was all awesome. Food came out super fast, service was great!

Ordered the Rueben & upgraded the fries to poutine. The corned beef was so delicious. Poutine was also good. The coleslaw was very tasty & loved that it didn't have mayo in it.
The interior might not be the most exciting, but this place certainly shines in the food department. Their poutine is a standout, easily one of the best you've had. The Montreal smoked meat is also impressive & can hold its own against renowned spots like Schwartz's. While the portion sizes for poutine might be substantial & come with a $20 price tag, it's a splurge that's worth it, especially when shared between two people. So, if you're looking for classic bar vibes & exceptional poutine, this spot seems like a great choice.
We were looking for the Montreal smoked meat experience while downtown & we found Dunn’s. Saturday evening & the place was hopping. We were a group of four but the wait was no more than 10 minutes.
Had to try the Dunn’s Famous poutine & added sautéed mushrooms & onions. Did not disappoint, the meal was excellent & our server was super friendly!
It was our first time for long weekend, omg. We ordered poutine with smoke meat which is so famous, I have never eaten like that. Must try it!! Service is so fast & servers are so good. Thank you guys

Dunn's est le style de restaurant où je vais y manger le soir/nuit à la sortie des bars ou d'une fête. La poutine Dunn's (au smoked meats) est ma préférée de loin. Nous la prenons à deux puisqu'elle est très grosse. J'aime vraiment leur viande. & les smoked meats sont toujours bons. Le service est correct (ils sont très souvent débordés le soir). À essayer!
