Review Summary

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.

Great service & the smoked meat sandwich was just as good as I remembered. I brought my own gluten free bread to use & they had no problem with that. Our young lady who served us could not have been nicer.

Always love coming to Dunn's. Poutine never disappoints & I love getting the latkes. Service is always great. Our waitress (forgot her name unfortunately) was very pleasant & always checked to make sure we were good. Atmosphere is always enjoyable. Not too busy & the overall restaurant just feels very nostalgic. Always a must visit whenever i'm in Montreal.

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.

Good place for a bite but in my opinion there are better smoked meat places in town. Dunn's meat just ain't as juicy & tasty.

The smoked meat is definitely amazing & testy! Not really into the soft French fries, but you may like it. Easy, convenient & great option just around the corner.

Awesome food. We shared the open sandwich as they do serve large plates 🍽 but of course you could take home leftovers. The smoked meat was absolutely incredible.

Tremendously good smoked meat sandwich, rivals or beats any pastrami on rye you have ever had. Good poutine as well.

Must stop when in Montreal. Try the smoked meat. They even offer if you would like the drier ends or the fattier middle of the brisket. It rivals any great New York deli.

The ambiance was classic for a taste of Montreal smoke meat sandwich's & poutine. The two of us shared the Super Combo Smoked meat sandwich & replaced our fries with Quebecoise poutine (+$7). It was the perfect amount of food. The coleslaw had a great zing that cut through the richness of the sandwich & poutine. Not super busy with friendly & fast service. Price was very reasonable & not overpriced. A definite must visit.
