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.

One of my favorite spots to eat before going to a hockey at the Bell Center that is a 5 minute walk from Dunn's. A real smoke meat sandwich compared to what they serve at the Bell Center.

One of the best locations for its food quality, it seems to be a little more expensive than your usual restaurants as a result.
