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.

(English below) เนื้อรมควันอร่อยดีครับ นุ่มมาก ผมลองเป็นสปาเก็ตตี้ ซอสเนื้อรมควันแดง, ก็โอเคครับ แต่จืดไปหน่อย, ขอเกลือมาโรยใส่ด้วยช่วยได้มาก พนักงานเป็นมิตร ร้านนั่งสบาย, ผมคงจะมานั่งทานอาหารชิลๆอีกครับ The smoked meat itself was great. I had spaghetti with smoked meat red sauce. It was okay, but was very under seasoned. The server was very friendly, & the atmosphere was nice. I would visit again for a relaxing brunch.

We discovered this wonderful place while wandering around in the sleet & rain on our second night visiting Montreal. & we are so happy we did. From the enormous --- & I do mean enormous --- smoked meat sandwiches & mile-high fries, to the better-than-my-own cheesecake & bottomless cup of fresh-brewed coffee, the only thing that made it even better was the unbelievably friendly & efficient service by our charming server, Priscilla. We look forward to returning here every time we make the 480-mile trek from Philadelphia. We've found our "go-to" spot in Montreal.
