Amazing smoked meat. Don't sleep on the fried rice! Great food & atmosphere with a lot of history

The wait staff were really nice, but we had to wait a while to get our order in & for our check. Maybe they were understaffed? It was a game night & they weren't that busy when we got there but there was a long line when we were leaving

A delicious smoked meat sandwich as always. Service was prompt & friendly. The only negative observation would be that the washroom is in need of a reno/makeover. Highly recommended for lunch.

This game is a recommendation from our hotel staff. We thought it was okay. The server was very friendly & nice. The food was nothing exciting. The hot chicken was good, I upgraded my fries for poutine fries. They were okay. The penne chicken alfredo was a bit tasteless, needed seasoning.

I dine at this restaurant once per year in March. I happened to come across the previous year's bill a couple of weeks before my yearly visit & so decided to keep it to compare prices since I always order the exact same meal. The price increased by 10% in one year! The worst part, the serving size had decreased. The coleslaw bowl was half full. Coleslaw!

Dunn's Famous is known for smoked meat sandwiches. On rue Metcalfe just off rue Sainte-Catherine Ouest, this restaurant is open late & offers relatively large portions. Good for takeout. This is ideal for people who come to Montréal for partying, but ordinary people can still enjoy high quality food. C'est delicieux!
