First time in Montreal, & Dunn's Famous was highly recommended to me for its iconic smoked meat sandwich & poutine. The atmosphere was great, & the service was friendly & attentive.
Unfortunately, the food didn't quite live up to my expectations. It was my first time trying the smoked meat sandwich & poutine, & while neither was bad, I personally found them a little underwhelming & not as special as I had expected.
I'm glad I gave it a try, but based on my experience, I probably wouldn't go back.
If you are looking for an authentic taste of Montreal's famous smoked meat history, Dunn's Famous delivers a wonderfully nostalgic experience.
During my recent visit, the star of the show was undoubtedly the classic smoked meat. The grilled meat arrived tender, juicy, & perfectly spiced, melting in the mouth with every bite. It is exactly what you hope for when visiting a legendary local deli. While the Cajun chicken was unfortunately a bit overcooked & dry, the meal quickly rebounded with the French onion soup. It was excellent, featuring a rich, savory broth & a perfectly melted layer of cheese.
The service was another high point of the evening. The staff was attentive & welcoming, operating with an efficiency that was well above average for a busy downtown spot.
What truly sets this location apart, however, is the fantastic restaurant ambience. The space captures a great retro feeling that transports you back in time. The interior design elements pair beautifully with the soundtrack of 80's music playing in the background, creating a fun, relaxed, & upbeat vibe. It is the perfect backdrop for a casual dinner with friends or a late-night comfort food craving.
Despite a minor hiccup with the chicken, the combination of spectacular smoked meat, top-tier service, & a nostalgic atmosphere makes Dunn's Famous a must-visit staple in Montreal.
When traveling home after years away, I knew Dunn's had to be my Saturday night plan. Zach & Steve were amazing & the food never let's you down. I appreciate the nostalgic dinner guys!

Some spots have so much history, you feel you're in a movie set as soon as you walk inside. That was definitely the case at Dunn's, where every booth felt like a place where the story's exposition had unfolded & the dialogue exchanged. Excellent, classic vibes!
Food was great. The smoked meat sandwich is what they're known for & it came out tender & juicy. The classic Jewish deli treat: a brisket, dry-cured for 14 days in a blend of peppercorn, garlic, coriander, & mustard seed, then slow-smoked, steamed, & hand-sliced onto fresh rye bread. Pair it with the tang of sauerkraut & a dill pickle & you're in business.
Pro tip: go with the'super combo' large smoked meat sandwich, upgrade the fries to poutine, & just share that with your partner in crime. It's perfect!
I was on the hunt for Dunn's black cherry drink to complete the meal, but they had run out. Hopefully you'll have better luck ordering one.
Had the Reuben sandwich at Dunn's in downtown Montreal, & it was every bit as good as its reputation. Fresh, flavorful, & made with care. It's impressive how a place with so much history still delivers such consistent quality. Definitely worth a visit!
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.
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.
4 stars for the service & atmosphere & overall over the years I have always felt that way it's never changed. The main aspect & most importantly the SMOKED MEAT has never changed (ONLY METCALF LOCATION ORIGINAL). Other locations are not quite as good as Metcalf is.There review here only 4.3% could be for service reasons as I have slightly noticed over the years but on the other hand they receive a lot more customers then Smoke meat Pete or Lesters & Schwartz they are full of crap with 4.4 which finally went down 0.1 recently. I can promise Dunn's Metcalf is still currently the very best as. Far as the smoke meat goes absolutely 100%. They were. Always #2 overall since 1927 only Swhartz beat. Them out until 1997 when Swhartz family sold & with 47 owners in the past 30 years they are. Horrible I would go to Swhartz if you paid. Now
Great experience. We came to Montréal for the day from Toronto. I looked forward to coming to Dunns. Had the beefsteak & a sundae. Steve was fantastic. A beautiful time by my wife & I. We will be back when we return to Montréal. Thank you.
Why wait on a long line when you can just go to Dunn's for great smoked meat sandwiches & creations (smoked meat egg roll, poutine, fried rice, etc.)? Plenty of other goodies such as bagel & lox, matzo ball soup, wings, burgers, salads. Full bar & lots of seating, helpful service.
