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.

Dunn's Famous poutine was delicious! Can taste their smoked meat, which was very good. The fries were a bit crispy even down to the bottom of the bowl. Curds were mostly melted so no squeaking, but I prefer melted. Chill place with attentive servers.

I was in Montreal for work last winter & I found myself pulling a late night & needing a nourishing dinner after 10pm. Upon seeing that Dunn's was still open, I decided to take advantage of the opportunity to try a different smoked meat joint, & I was very much satisfied! I got the smoked meat sandwich combo with fries & coleslaw & it was delicious. Savory, filling, & reasonably priced. While I'd say my favorite smoked meat sandwich in Montreal is still Schwartz's, I would gladly return to Dunn's too.
