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.

Awesome food. We shared the open sandwich as they do serve large plates 🍽 but of course you could take home leftovers. The smoked meat was absolutely incredible.

Tremendously good smoked meat sandwich, rivals or beats any pastrami on rye you have ever had. Good poutine as well.

Must stop when in Montreal. Try the smoked meat. They even offer if you would like the drier ends or the fattier middle of the brisket. It rivals any great New York deli.

The ambiance was classic for a taste of Montreal smoke meat sandwich's & poutine. The two of us shared the Super Combo Smoked meat sandwich & replaced our fries with Quebecoise poutine (+$7). It was the perfect amount of food. The coleslaw had a great zing that cut through the richness of the sandwich & poutine. Not super busy with friendly & fast service. Price was very reasonable & not overpriced. A definite must visit.
