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.

Montréal is the smoked meat capital of the world, & there are a few iconic places to get a Montréal Smoked Meat Sandwich.

Dunn's is one of those!

This is a very cool, very hip place, & serves massively large Sandwiches with great fries.

Pair them with a cherry coke & you have heaven.

I want to go here everytime I am in Montréal.

I heard that this place has a reputation for the best smoked meat soni had to try it. It was very good. Thick sliced & very tasty. Service was excellent as I got there just before noon when it got busy. I would say the sandwich was 4.5. I couldn't quite give it a 5 since I've been to katz deli in New York & that was the best I've had but dunns is right up there

We love you Dunn's!!!!

The smoked meat sandwich was to die for. So flavorful & hefty. We got it medium (a little bit of fat) & it was superb. It was not overly fatty & was melt in your mouth. The fries, coleslaw & pickle were equally as great.

you MUST try their black cherry cola. It is absolutely heavenly!!!!!

Was in Montreal from Winnipeg, heard Dunn's was the place to go for sandwiches & poutine. They did not disappoint. Our waiter was super helpful & made a suggestion that was bang on to what I wanted. Thanks Dunn's & I'll be back.
