We love you Dunn's!!!!

The smoked meat sandwich was to die for. So flavorful & hefty. We got it medium (a little bit of fat) & it was superb. It was not overly fatty & was melt in your mouth. The fries, coleslaw & pickle were equally as great.

you MUST try their black cherry cola. It is absolutely heavenly!!!!!

Our food was delicious. The coleslaw is so good the smoked meat was more than I expected. Moist & delicious.
Unfortunately our service was terrible. From the very first moment, we were all really looking forward to dessert & it was the birthday of someone in our group.
We went with the expectations of having dessert & singing happy birthday & having a great time. After ordering & food landing, we never saw our server again. We ended up waiting so long to ever see our server again & when we did see her she was wearing her coat & walking right by going out for a cigarette. At that point we had already forfeited the dessert idea as we'd been looking for her for at least 15 minutes to order dessert, & we were already all standing with jackets on waiting for our bills. She walked right by for her cigarette break without even acknowledging us. Eventually we asked someone else to help us pay & they also put on their cost & went out to get her. She was visibly annoyed that we had disrupted her break, at that point at least 8 minutes after she left the restaurant.
The food was great. The service was unfortunately really terrible.

Tasty & delicious sums it up. I almost missed this spot! I originally went for a more famous place, but the long line + rain sent me to Dunn's on a hotel recommendation-& what a win. Just a 5-minute wait while they set up for my wheelchair.

The smoked meat platter was tender & full of flavor, the coleslaw was fantastic, & that warm molten chocolate chip cookie with ice cream? Next level.

I came back the next day for the carbonara-loved it-& again today for fish & chips. Consistently great food, efficient & friendly bilingual service, & always busy but never a long wait.

One week left… & I already know I'll be back a few more times 😏

I dine at this restaurant once per year in March. I happened to come across the previous year's bill a couple of weeks before my yearly visit & so decided to keep it to compare prices since I always order the exact same meal. The price increased by 10% in one year! The worst part, the serving size had decreased. The coleslaw bowl was half full. Coleslaw!

Needed to grab a late night dinner after catching the Habs game & was happy to see Dunn's is open super late. I got the Super Combo Smoked Meat for takeout & it was a massive portion size for only about $30 after tax.

The food tasted great. I'd say this was probably my second favourite smoked meat meal during my stay in Montreal. The meat was a little too lean for my liking, would have probably preferred it to be a little bit more fatty (kind of felt more like a pastrami sandwich). But the portion size was huge, flavours were great, & value for money pretty good. The coleslaw in particular was delicious. Will definitely come back the next time I'm in Montreal!

I cannot begin to tell you how good my sandwich, coleslaw, & cheesecake were. I had Dunn's for the first time only 5 days ago. & I have thought about it all of those 5 days since. For a number of reasons, I wish I lived in the area; Dunn's is one of them. It's pricey, but the taste alone makes it worth it. My only complaint (if you can call it that) is the fries were nothing special.

Definitely a must visit for some local food & the history of the place.

Had the famous smoked meat sandwich & Italian poutine. Smoked meat was juicy & soft, good light spicing, served with a tangy pickle & super tangy coleslaw which I think cut through the meatiness really nicely.

Couldn't not try their famous strawberry cheesecake made on site, a nice tangy cheesecake with great creamy & fluffy texture, strawberry adds a nice fruitiness to it, however it was lacking much of a base… if it had more of one I would've rated it outstanding!

Lovely service, attentive & polite team.

TOURIST TRAP WITH BAD FOOD. I used to go quite often at Dunn's late 90s early 2000s. Everyone was welcomed like a family member & the food was excellent. NOT ANYMORE. Stay away from this place. The waiter was barely polite & you're obviously just a dollar sign to him. The bread was ultra thin, soggy right from the start, & tasted nothing. The cook added just a tiny spot of mustard in the middle of the bread & that shows how little they care. The meat (medium) tasted nothing. The coleslaw was room temperature & served in an half-empty tiny bowl buried under the fries (they just threw everything in the basket). The tiny fries were barely hot & limp & were tiny so it cooks faster so they save money. Dunn's used to be a great place & proudly serving good food. Not anymore & it's now even worse than your local fast food joint. I've spent $35 for nothing & never going back. Stick to Schwartz instead because they have pride THERE.

Critical Knife & Fork:

This or Schwartz's? Followed the recommendation of a native of Montreal & tried Dunns. The smoked meat is delicious, just the right amount of tender, fat, & seasoning. The bread can't handle the meat but who cares! Lots of mustard, coleslaw & a dill pickle makes this an unforgettable lunch. & of course the poutine was Devine! Strongly recommend. No nonsense service & a staple of Montreal's food culture.

Staff were friendly & very prompt with welcoming you, taking your order, attentiveness. We weren't overly hungry but wanted to try Dunn's. We split the super sized Montreal smoked meat sandwich & split the routine. It was enough for both of us & it's was delicious. I can say that this was the best coleslaw (according to my taste)I've had in Montreal & I had coleslaw at 4 different places.
