The food is outstanding as always. But this time my thai chicken salad was missing the dressing. & STEVE the server gaslighted me & told me the salad comes with no dressing. I insisted that it does because i always order it, & it's written on the menu, but I got dismissed. The lettuce was completely dry. I didn't enjoy my salad.
His over the top energy does not make up for his lack of professionalism & poor costumer service skills.

Dunn's Famous has been a Montreal institution since 1927, & after one bite of their legendary smoked meat sandwich, I completely understand why.

I'll be honest - I was a little nervous ordering it. I expected the meat to be dry & tough, but it was the complete opposite. The brisket is dry-cured for 10-14 days with a signature spice blend, then steamed just before slicing to keep it meltingly tender. Every bite was juicy, savoury, & packed with that perfect smoky flavour. The meat practically melts in your mouth.

What really elevated the sandwich was the tangy sauerkraut on the side - it cuts through the richness perfectly & keeps things balanced. The fresh rye bread & simple yellow mustard let the star of the show shine.
