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.

Great experience. We came to Montréal for the day from Toronto. I looked forward to coming to Dunns. Had the beefsteak & a sundae. Steve was fantastic. A beautiful time by my wife & I. We will be back when we return to Montréal. Thank you.

Excellent service & nourriture exceptionnelle! On m'avait souvent parlé de ce restaurant en me disant qu'il était excellent, mais même avec ces attentes, je ne pensais pas que ce serait aussi bon. Chaque plat était délicieux & parfaitement préparé. L'ambiance est tout simplement magique & rend l'expérience encore plus mémorable. C'est sincèrement un incontournable pour moi. Je vais assurément y retourner!

Food was okay. We had fosh & chips. Chips were way overcooked & the fish was super greasy. Staff was very friendly & thoughtful with recommendations. Nice vibe & cool atmosphere with speedy service, food just was sort of bland.
