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 place closes after midnight. We got to our hotel around 11pm, this was one of few options we had. & I'm glad we went there. Their smoked meat is hands-down one of the bests. We shared a smoked club sandwich, asked to upgrade our fries with normal poutine, Louisiana soup & french onion soup. Everything was delicious. Their smoked meat & french onion were amazing. I didn't care for it. I don't was it, but I have to mention that I never had it before, so I can't be a good judge of poutine.
