Across many reviews, Dunn's Famous is described as a Montreal classic known for its smoked meat sandwiches and generous portions, with fast service and a lively, historical vibe. Guests praise the tender, smoky meat, crispy fries, and supportive atmosphere, with standout items like poutine and cheesecake mentioned; the staff is often highlighted for quick, friendly service, though a few notes point to occasional crowds, long lines, and busy times, and some criticisms include inconsistent fries, leaner meat options, and older bathrooms in need of renovation. The late hours and family friendly ambiance are also noted, making it a reliable stop for locals and visitors seeking a comforting, nostalgic Montreal dining experience.
Great meal, meat cooked to perfection, had mine moist. Cole slaw had good consistency & taste, we got a side of gravy for frites dipping. Easy to understand why they have been open since 1927. Will return soon.
Pretty standard Smoked Meat Sandwich, definitely a good place to go if you want to have your first try of Montreal Smoked Meat. Staff is fluently bilingual & very nice. Not exactly mind-blowing but still a solid choice for lunch.

We stumbled upon this landmark restaurant just walking around lost from all the construction in the city. The restaurant was busy, but we didn't wait to be seated at the bar. The sandwiches are gigantic piled high with smoked meat. Even the kids meals are giant portions! The servers were great & attentive, & the price is reasonable given the amount of food served. If you didn't make it to Swartz's, try Dunn's instead. In the heart of downtown & great ambiance!

One of the best smoked meat & poutine in Montreal I've tried. My favourite is Combo Smoked Meat Sandwich that you can substitute fries to poutine & 2 people can share. Make sure to order the middle fat smoked meat, super tasty & melts in mouth
Je ne suis vraiment pas un amateur de viande fumée, mais une fois n'est pas coutume, alors que nous voulions faire différent. Ma surprise fut d'y trouver un menu complètement revampé, loin du classique sandwich viande fumée, pain de seigle, moutarde & pickles! Juste pour l'ambiance, la salle à manger vaut le détour! Merci!
Great menu. Food comes out quickly. Somewhat of a Montreal icon. Reasonable prices. Hours have changed. Years ago it was a 24 hour operation. Today it's 11 am - 5 am so it is closed 6 hours of the day but I certainly don't blame them. Prices have held up good over the years.

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!
This place has it all. You can just feel the Vibe before you walk in the door. While the food & service are simply fantastic. Folks around me were raving about the pizza here. Many were ordering it. I of course ordered the smoked meat sandwich. Next time I'll try the pizza. My Smoked Meat sandwich was absolutely delicious. & the place itself was just oozing with atmosphere. Not a big place but definitely a must go & try if you have not already. Thank you so much. My first visit to Montreal & Dunns will not be my last.
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!

Le service etait excellent! & le smokemeat etait parfait. Note à moi-même ne pas reprendre le smokemeat léger sans gras, c'est sec.... j'ai préféré la version plus grasse & donc plus tendre que j'ai volé dans l'assiette de mon conjoint....
