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.

Luke Skywalker working here serves the best smoked meat sandwich. I took the small combo, as good as 10 years ago

Alors qu'on nous sert un peu partout du jambon déguisé en smoked meat, Dunn's continue la tradition d'offrir la vraie affaire. Très bon bravo.

Classic diner vibes with solid, comforting food!
We came here for a casual meal & were pleasantly surprised by how hearty everything was. The smoked meat sandwich was super generous with thick, tender slices - juicy & full of flavor. Definitely one of the highlights!

The spaghetti with meat sauce was simple but satisfying, & the garlic bread was crispy & buttery, just the way it should be. The French onion soup was rich & cheesy, & those potato pancakes on the side were golden & crispy - great with the sour cream.

Nothing fancy, just good old-school food that hits the spot. Great place if you're in the mood for something filling & unpretentious.
