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.

My office colleague who is originally from Montreal suggested me to go there during our trip to Montreal. The place was good & the food. We ordered smoked meat sandwiches & some drinks. Yes, the sandwiches were delicious & I liked it. But the fries should have more salt. I didn't enjoy fries because of that I think my other two buddies as well. If you are someone who used to add salt to your food you better ask them to add salt to their fries.

Other than that the customer service & the vibes were amazing. The prices are a bit high (40+ including one drink) but it is okay.

Les smoked meat est bon.
Les prix sont un peu élevés.
Le service est au rendez-vous en anglais & en français.
& la salle est très sympathique.
Il faut par contre vraiment songer à rénover les toilettes qui laissent fortement à désirer 😱

Great spot when you need comfort food late, I know there are lots of arguments about best smoked meat, but on a cold night that sandwich & matzoh ball soup were exactly what the doctor ordered
