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.
Dunn's smoked meat was the best we had in all of Montréal. We tried all of the big spots & while they were all great (really good stuff), Dunn's had the best balance of flavor, juiciness, & tenderness. The restaurant itself has a cool old school feel to it. The menu has a ton of variety as well. We had the giant smoked meat sandwich & regular poutine & it was all awesome. Food came out super fast, service was great!
Ordered the Rueben & upgraded the fries to poutine. The corned beef was so delicious. Poutine was also good. The coleslaw was very tasty & loved that it didn't have mayo in it.
Very disappointed server talked alot but did not understand English that well. Smoked meat came on seperate plate in stead of between bread. Meat was also thick & very wet.Not good Management check out your Dunns on decarie. Learn from this place where food & service is excellent.
