Across many reviews, Dunn's Famous is described as a Montreal classic known for its smoked meat sandwiches and generous portions, with fast service and a lively, historical vibe. Guests praise the tender, smoky meat, crispy fries, and supportive atmosphere, with standout items like poutine and cheesecake mentioned; the staff is often highlighted for quick, friendly service, though a few notes point to occasional crowds, long lines, and busy times, and some criticisms include inconsistent fries, leaner meat options, and older bathrooms in need of renovation. The late hours and family friendly ambiance are also noted, making it a reliable stop for locals and visitors seeking a comforting, nostalgic Montreal dining experience.
Tasty & delicious sums it up. I almost missed this spot! I originally went for a more famous place, but the long line + rain sent me to Dunn's on a hotel recommendation-& what a win. Just a 5-minute wait while they set up for my wheelchair.
The smoked meat platter was tender & full of flavor, the coleslaw was fantastic, & that warm molten chocolate chip cookie with ice cream? Next level.
I came back the next day for the carbonara-loved it-& again today for fish & chips. Consistently great food, efficient & friendly bilingual service, & always busy but never a long wait.
One week left… & I already know I'll be back a few more times 😏

Been DT Montreal for a few days & ate here 2 times in the 4 days & delicious food amazing atmosphere & the staff are a complete blast
Steve my friend really appreciates you thanks for the laughs
Very nice & cozy restaurant! We visited from Toronto & tried their classic poutine. It was very yummy, I would recommend adding more cheese curds if you're ordering! Also, the portion sizes are HUMONGOUS!! 1 plate can be shared by 2 people! Very nice atmosphere, & the servers are very nice!
I always have a good experience at Dunn's Famous & this visit was no different. I got a salad & it was actually so delicious. What really stood out though was our server - I unfortunately forget his name, but he was working overnight & had tattoos.
I told him I have a gluten intolerance & he was super reassuring & made me feel really comfortable ordering. He went above & beyond for our table, gave great recommendations for the smoked meat sandwiches, & handled everything so well even while dealing with some difficult customers. Amazing service honestly. He definitely deserves recognition. Will 100% be back.

Amazing smoked meat. Don't sleep on the fried rice! Great food & atmosphere with a lot of history
The wait staff were really nice, but we had to wait a while to get our order in & for our check. Maybe they were understaffed? It was a game night & they weren't that busy when we got there but there was a long line when we were leaving
I love this place : service is great, food is delicious & omg the cheesecake... What a treat. It is a place full of history & great food but I mainly go because service makes you feel like you are a part of the family.
A delicious smoked meat sandwich as always. Service was prompt & friendly. The only negative observation would be that the washroom is in need of a reno/makeover. Highly recommended for lunch.
This game is a recommendation from our hotel staff. We thought it was okay. The server was very friendly & nice. The food was nothing exciting. The hot chicken was good, I upgraded my fries for poutine fries. They were okay. The penne chicken alfredo was a bit tasteless, needed seasoning.

I dine at this restaurant once per year in March. I happened to come across the previous year's bill a couple of weeks before my yearly visit & so decided to keep it to compare prices since I always order the exact same meal. The price increased by 10% in one year! The worst part, the serving size had decreased. The coleslaw bowl was half full. Coleslaw!
Ward so much for so long about it. It's really worth it. Portion are huge & so good. Had my first Reuben sandwich & latshka ( not sure how to spell it). Reuben sandwich was awesome.
Dunn's Famous is known for smoked meat sandwiches. On rue Metcalfe just off rue Sainte-Catherine Ouest, this restaurant is open late & offers relatively large portions. Good for takeout. This is ideal for people who come to Montréal for partying, but ordinary people can still enjoy high quality food. C'est delicieux!
