Review Summary

Dunn's Famous is widely regarded as a Montreal landmark for classic smoked meat, with sandwiches that are huge, tender and flavorful, often accompanied by great poutine and crisp fries. The atmosphere blends diner charm with a lively sports bar feel, and the service is typically fast and friendly, making it a reliable late night or post game option. The smoked meat is the star for many, praised for rich flavor and generous portions, though a few notes mention occasional dryness or price concerns and some side dishes needing salt or freshness. Staff are frequently commended for attentiveness and recommendations, while a few experiences cite uneven service or maintenance issues like cold bathrooms. Overall Dunn's Famous delivers comforting, filling meals and a nostalgic Montreal dining experience that many visitors and locals return to for a dependable classic.

This is an OK spot for an iconic montreal meal. Huge portions at a fairly high price. If you plan on splitting a meal (it would still be too much food) it is the perfect spot to do so.

While looking for a place to pass the time & have a beer whilst the wife was shopping, I stumbled in here. She wound up meeting me & we later had dinner. It was great!

Un smoke meat correct dans l'ensemble, je lui donne un bon 7/10.
La viande est savoureuse, avec une bonne texture, mais pourrait être légèrement plus tendre ou juteuse pour atteindre un niveau supérieur. Le goût est agréable & bien assaisonné, mais il manque ce petit'wow' qui distingue les meilleures adresses.

Le service est correct, professionnel & efficace, sans être particulièrement chaleureux.
L'ambiance est simple & fonctionnelle - rien d'exceptionnel, mais convenable pour un repas rapide.

En résumé : un bon endroit pour un smoked meat satisfaisant, avec un bon rapport qualité-prix, mais qui a encore un peu de marge pour se démarquer des meilleurs.

We loved our smoked meat Ruben sandwich with fries & a beer. It was so large that my wife & I shared it.

The multilingual staff prepared & served our order promptly. We liked the pub like atmosphere of the restaurant.
