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.
I really like a smoke, but when I am in Montréal, I go to Dunn's Famous for my smoke meat fix. Great atmosphere & service. I had the super combo, smoke meat sandwich, fries, & coleslaw. Everything was excellent on my plate. I recommend Dunn's Famous.
We were recommended to stop at Dunn's by the hotel staff, & we're so glad we did! Dunn's offers a wide selection of food items, & we decided to try the poutine & egg rolls. When the food arrived, I initially thought it might be too salty, but I was pleasantly surprised! The dishes were incredibly flavorful, fresh, & perfectly balanced. We were delighted with our meal & the overall experience. We can't wait to go back!

There is a nice selection. I'm not fan of hot dog poutine but general tao one never disappointed me. Fish & chips was ok. Nothing special. Their latkes (potato pancakes) were missing salt big time. It's one of my favourite dish & I was very disappointed. We also tried karnatzel, which I don't recommend. I feel like you should eat this cold since it's a dried sausage, meanwhile it was served hot soaked in oil. I think we just got a beef hot dog instead with a side of a pickle. Their coleslaw is good, not too much vinegar there like most of the places I tried. Their chocolate cake is very tasty.
I recently had the pleasure of dining at Dunn's in Montreal, & it was a fantastic experience! The smoked meat sandwich was perfectly seasoned & piled high, just as I had hoped. The service was quick & friendly, making me feel right at home. The cozy atmosphere added to the charm, & I appreciated the attention to detail in both the food & the overall experience. If you're in Montreal & craving an authentic smoked meat sandwich, Dunn's is the place to go. Highly recommend!
It's a Lovely cosy place, I remembered a restaurant in my country, food & beer was beautiful & George our waiter was super lovely guy, onion rings was super! Pizza is not Italian, but something special. highly recommended!
A great restaurant I've been here many times but here is my opinion. 01 Nov, 2024 around 5:40PM. Pros: A) The restaurant is decked out with many memorabilia. B) It feels nice & homey. C) The food is really good love their smoked meat & Reubens sandwiches. D) Surprisingly the prices are okay even though it's a little bit pricey but the taste is okay & delicious. E) Easily accessible by Metro & near Eaton Centre & other shops. Location is good. F) Washrooms is clean though they should maintain it more. Cons: A) Parking is difficult on streets so you need to find alternative parking. B) Our waiter is good but I can tell she's having a little difficulty with English. They need more bilingual & more outgoing waiters. C) The restaurant needs to be better maintained & just have better service but the service that night was okay they need to be better positively. Conclusion: Love the restaurant & I would recommend this place for simple delicious food God Bless the people who keep it going.

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!
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.
We had a fantastic lunch here at Dunn's! We ordered the large combo & upgraded the side to onion rings which were really yummy! The smoked meat is divine, so were all the other dishes we ordered (mozzarella sticks & chicken salad). Highly recommend coming here!
If you're seeking an unforgettable dining experience in Montreal, look no further than Dunn's Famous. Established by Mayer Dunn, this iconic restaurant has been delighting patrons with its deli-style smoked meats for decades. The menu at Dunn's Famous is varied & filled with delicious eats, all made from scratch with a touch of love. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by a clean & inviting atmosphere, complemented by great 70's music that adds a sense of nostalgia. The service is impressively fast & efficient, ensuring you spend more time enjoying your meal & less time waiting. Among the standout dishes, the poutine is exceptional, but the true star of the show is the smoked meat - outrageously delicious & a must-try. Dunn's Famous truly lives up to its name, offering one of the best dining experiences in Montreal. Highly recommended!

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.
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.
