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'm glad we were able to find a place open so late, but the food was really underwhelming... they make up for it in service & atmosphere. Don't come here expecting an amazing meal, but the convenience of a late night spot with a fun vibe

Great place to dine. Pepperoni pizza was excellent. Large portions on everything. The Poutine needed fine salt on the fries before the gravy is pored on. Service was a little slow, but the young guy who eventually served us was very attentive & very friendly.

Sorry for our big group raiding the place at 4am, but it's a tradition for us to end our film festival here after the bar closes! Thanks for your patience & the prompt service:)
