Dunn's Famous

I dropped by after attending a bar nearby with a group of friends. We were a big group of 12 people & they had space for us. I liked their smoked meat sandwiches as I had Le Petit Combo which is quite a lot for $22.95 CAD + $3.75 CAD. However, other smoked meat places usually ask if we want half, no fat, or really fatty smoked meat, but Dunn's give you half, which is a bummer. I wished they can ask our smoked meat options. However, I enjoyed my stay at the resto. Not too salty & loved their coleslaw with smoke meat. I'd recommend coming here for a quick bite.

Overall the food was good. I had the poutine with smoked meat. This definitely feels like a tourist place vs a local favourite. I would say it was a fast casual diner environment. Worth a stop if you need something quick.

If you are looking for an authentic taste of Montreal's famous smoked meat history, Dunn's Famous delivers a wonderfully nostalgic experience.
During my recent visit, the star of the show was undoubtedly the classic smoked meat. The grilled meat arrived tender, juicy, & perfectly spiced, melting in the mouth with every bite. It is exactly what you hope for when visiting a legendary local deli. While the Cajun chicken was unfortunately a bit overcooked & dry, the meal quickly rebounded with the French onion soup. It was excellent, featuring a rich, savory broth & a perfectly melted layer of cheese.
The service was another high point of the evening. The staff was attentive & welcoming, operating with an efficiency that was well above average for a busy downtown spot.
What truly sets this location apart, however, is the fantastic restaurant ambience. The space captures a great retro feeling that transports you back in time. The interior design elements pair beautifully with the soundtrack of 80's music playing in the background, creating a fun, relaxed, & upbeat vibe. It is the perfect backdrop for a casual dinner with friends or a late-night comfort food craving.
Despite a minor hiccup with the chicken, the combination of spectacular smoked meat, top-tier service, & a nostalgic atmosphere makes Dunn's Famous a must-visit staple in Montreal.

We had a party of six at the beginning of a busy lunch time. They seated us quickly, answered questions about the food options & retuned promptly to take our orders. The food came out quickly & we were happy with each entre. We were unfamiliar with this cuisine because we live in Kentucky. We would definitely eat here again if / when we return to Montreal.

Had Montreal smoked meat club sandwich to die for. Greek salad was fresh & the dressing was awesome. Potato crepes were crisp snd tasty. The coffee tasted really good. The server was attentive & friendly & the food came very quickly although the place was quite busy. It's a perfect 10 all around.

This place is awesome & has a casual, home-style taste that I feel some of the more famous places are missing. Sometimes, food can be TOO polished & Dunn's brings it right back down to earth. It's not pretentious or trying to be something it's not, it tastes like it was made by someone who loves you. The meat was great but don't sleep on the fries, holy heck they were top tier. A million bonus points for the quick service. As a visitor who's here for work & only has 30 minutes, I was well fed within that time. Thank you for the delicious food, making solo dining not awkward, & being so close to the office, this is an easy'will be back'!
