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.

We ate here twice during our trip to Montreal in April 2024 & Dunn's is consistently fantastic. REAL French fries & piled high Montreal smoked meat with mouthwatering side of fresh Cole slaw & a giant juicy pickle. Holy moly! What a delight! Our servers were excellent during both visits.
