Review Summary

Dunn's Famous is widely regarded as a Montreal landmark for classic smoked meat, with sandwiches that are huge, tender and flavorful, often accompanied by great poutine and crisp fries. The atmosphere blends diner charm with a lively sports bar feel, and the service is typically fast and friendly, making it a reliable late night or post game option. The smoked meat is the star for many, praised for rich flavor and generous portions, though a few notes mention occasional dryness or price concerns and some side dishes needing salt or freshness. Staff are frequently commended for attentiveness and recommendations, while a few experiences cite uneven service or maintenance issues like cold bathrooms. Overall Dunn's Famous delivers comforting, filling meals and a nostalgic Montreal dining experience that many visitors and locals return to for a dependable classic.

The smoked meat poutine is all you need to know about. Delicious!

I'd say that it's a pretty standard poutine restaurant. It was greasy but kinda what you'd expect for your guilty pleasure type of food for late nights. The poutine was better than their smoked meat sandwich though.

One of my favorite spots to eat before going to a hockey at the Bell Center that is a 5 minute walk from Dunn's. A real smoke meat sandwich compared to what they serve at the Bell Center.

One of the best locations for its food quality, it seems to be a little more expensive than your usual restaurants as a result.
