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.

I found the smoked meat bagel to be dry. I've had more juicy meat at other spots. My table really liked their meal but it was also their first time trying smoked meat so they didn't have anything to compare it to. They did however put a lot of meat in everyone's sandwich.
Service was a little slow.

Fantastic meal. The sandwiches were just how I remember. Huge, tender, flavourful & juicy. The staff however are extremely rude & dismissive. Good thing I wasn't there for the service. It's the place to go when in MTL.

Perfect destination for visitors to the city to try Montreal smoked meat. Perfect diner vibes, comforting food that was very tasty & fresh. Service was friendly & down to earth. The fries are unique & scrumptious. Highly recommend their famous strawberry cheesecake, made fresh in-house. It is GIRTHY. One piece is perfect to share. I will be back!
