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.

This is an OK spot for an iconic montreal meal. Huge portions at a fairly high price. If you plan on splitting a meal (it would still be too much food) it is the perfect spot to do so.

While looking for a place to pass the time & have a beer whilst the wife was shopping, I stumbled in here. She wound up meeting me & we later had dinner. It was great!

Un smoke meat correct dans l'ensemble, je lui donne un bon 7/10.
La viande est savoureuse, avec une bonne texture, mais pourrait être légèrement plus tendre ou juteuse pour atteindre un niveau supérieur. Le goût est agréable & bien assaisonné, mais il manque ce petit'wow' qui distingue les meilleures adresses.

Le service est correct, professionnel & efficace, sans être particulièrement chaleureux.
L'ambiance est simple & fonctionnelle - rien d'exceptionnel, mais convenable pour un repas rapide.

En résumé : un bon endroit pour un smoked meat satisfaisant, avec un bon rapport qualité-prix, mais qui a encore un peu de marge pour se démarquer des meilleurs.
