Ok, Firstly I'm used to more seasoned food, the meat was a bit bland. I still found the dish good, very heavy on the stomach though, but GOOD.

You can't visit Montréal without going to Dunns - it is a must-do on any itinerary. Whether I can say they do the best Montreal Smoked Meat Sandwich is entirely subjective as I never made it to its main competitor - Schwartz's Deli - but what I can say is that Dunns was absolutely great on both occasions we visited. I went for the Classic Combo on the first visit & the Reuben Combo on my second. Based on both those occasions it definitely lives up to the hype....it's good!! Personally I prefer the leaner meat (you are given a choice) as the standard one is rather greasy for my pallet & you end up with oily fingers which isn't nice but that's a matter of taste.

On both occasions we were welcomed by the lovely staff & given help with the menu. Particularly on the first visit when we went at peak period & there were people standing in line at the door there was no pressure to pay up & leave once we were finished which is often the case with'popular' restaurants/diners. On the second visit we tried their in-house pickle flavoured ketchup & it was fantastic. We were offered a bottle for CA$9.00 but sadly our luggage was already full!

Although it is small-ish restaurant you don't worry about finding a table as it is open 18 hours a day, but do get there as soon as it opens at 11am as the local lunch crowd will soon fill it up.
