Review Summary

Dunn's Famous is widely regarded as a staple of Montreal dining, celebrated for its legendary smoked meat sandwiches and extensive menu of comfort foods like poutine and cheesecake. While opinions on the meat's fattiness and the quality of sides vary, many patrons appreciate the generous portions, long operating hours, and the nostalgic, lively atmosphere that defines the restaurant. Although service consistency remains a topic of debate, with some guests praising the friendly and efficient staff while others report lapses in attention, the establishment remains a popular destination for both locals and tourists seeking an authentic, no-nonsense culinary experience.

Montreal has been world renowned for it's fine smoked meat since the 1920's, when the first Dunn's opened. 🥪🍖
This branch has been opened since 2000 & couldn't be more downtown if it tried. Perfect place for comfort food before or after a Habs game, or after a night bar hopping on Crescent St.🍻
Last time we went I tried their smoked meat poutine & almost fainted is was so good. Great fries from real potatoes & Dunn's famous smoked meat served with delicious bbq sauce & curds.
You gotta be hungry though... the servings are copious.
Open 24/7 😍

Showed up at 4:10am & they told me I can not sit down even though others were dining in front of me, they only do poutine & smoked meat (takeout), & that I need to show up before 4:15am for the full menu? I corrected him (& showed him the time) & said actually I need to show up before 4:00am apparently.

Why did you lure me in advertising you're open until 5am? I feel scammed. Waste of my time & gas.

Came for some late night eats at an institution. The food was just what you're looking for, particularly the smoked meats & variety of poutine. Our server Steve seemed to be the only one working in the whole restaurant & was out there HUSTLING.
