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.

My family & I like their poutine & other family friendly dishes like spaghetti & yummy desserts. First time here while visiting Montreal. Don't know if their poutine is better than La Banquise but thought their big bowl of poutine was delicious.

I hate to leave anything less than a stellar review for a legacy institution like Dunn's...but it was okay. Don't think I'd recommend the smoked meet egg rolls which were more like pizza pockets. The poutine was pretty good but think for the next try I'd keep it traditional. Quite a few interesting poutine varieties. I'd certainly give it another try with different choices for the next visit.

What an amazing place!!! Is a CLASSIC restaurant/diner that serves the most amazing "smoked meat" & cheesecake! It's a MUST visit for anyone visiting the Montreal area. There's currently road construction in the area, but don't let that keep you away.
