Came here for lunch with friends to try the smoked meat in Montreal that everyone boasts about. It turns out it is pretty good but not as good as Katz deli in New York. Although you can rest assured the fries in Montreal is consistant in being pretty good so it works well as an ensemble dish. We were doubly happy that this place has free wifi see that Montreal treats wifi like a high commodity. read more

So happy we found this gem while visiting this wonderful city. The combinations of flavors are mouth watering and just when you thought you couldn't fit anything else in your tummy...they have mini desserts, so you can enjoy a sweetie without bursting the dam. We will definitely be back before we depart. read more

I would have given 4 stars because the food is great and affordable, but when the service sucks it ruins the experience. I think we had the only crabby waiter in the restaurant. No smiles, no small talk, rushed through everything, just plain old cranky. read more

Perfect location near downtown hotels and one of a few places open late night. A server and general manager from another restaurant it after their kitchen closed. I enjoyed the poutine and an Irish coffee. Reasonable prices and a wholesome, diner feel. Only reason it wasn't 5 stars was that the service was slow initially getting a menu and ordering. It was somewhat busy for the early morning/late evening. read more

Good smoked meat. Can get full fat. Do get full fat. Fat.... mmm... fatty fatty fat fatt...

Our first eat in Montreal. It was a late night and everything else was closed for Christmas. Service was ok , there were at least 4 servers to 5 tables and our guy seemed to look extra busy taking forever to bring our drinks. The meat was just ok, it tasted like corned beef rather than Canadian version of pastrami. Granted being from New York we are quite spoiled with excellent flavors but at least we have something to compare Canadian smoked meat to. The Poutin was also average. The best part of dinner was dessert .... We got carrot cheesecake and it was done just right. The place is open 24 hours 7 days a week so after a drunken night Dunn's would most certainly satisfy the cravings, for a sober meal there are much better places. read more

Dunn's is the place where you have to go if you want to eat the best smoked me of Montréal !!

Get the Dunn's Famous poutine!! it's amazing, super tender meat, awesome gravy and nice squeaky fresh curds!! Awesome staff too!

I had the fish and chips. I like how the fries came out in a mini fry basket. The fish was good and crunchy. The tartar sauce was different but not in a bad way. Our waiter was great, he even made me a vanilla and chocolate mixed milkshake. read more

Dunn's - Fish and chips... - Poutineries Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

Great for lunch or late night snacking. Smoked meat poutine is delicious and competes with the best in Montreal.

Located in the Latin quarter. Closest Metro is Peel. Street parking. Waiters/waitresses are perfectly bilingual. Their smoked meat sandwich is a must when visiting the city. They come in degrees of fattiness. They always recommend medium fat, but I personally prefers extra lean. Their price is always gone up though, everytime we come to visit. But they don't skimp on their meat. Matzo ball soup is also tasty but small. read more

Recommended by Yelp and it didn't miss. All we wanted was some poutine on the way out of Montreal and Dunn's did not disappoint. Service was friendly and quick. Many different types of poutine, including the traditional. We ordered three different kinds and shared them all. Lots of flavor and fun. Will be back. read more

Service and food were very good. We shared the smoked meat plate. Enough meat and bread to make two reasonable sandwiches. Will be back.

This was a religious experience. My boys and I tried various menu items including smoked meat sandwiches, poutine, smoked meat poutine. All were phenomenal and we will definitely lunch here again when the opportunity presents itself! read more

See all

The food portions were big and both the desserts looked even bigger. The food is a decent value for your money.

The classic club is quite a delight as is the classic, the smoked meat. The club is made with the same fresh bread as the smoked meat. The club sandwich itself was a bit dry but a little mayo does the trick. Definitely try this spot out!!! Solo style hater!!!! read more

We ate here to try poutine, and the whole place was nothing special. The ice tea tasted like concentrate, the waiter was friendly but not over attentive. Poutine was o.k., the fries were great and crispy and tasteful, but were unfortunately soaked by the watery-greasy gravy. We went again the next day, our new waiter was very nice and helpful, burgers were great and I could really enjoy the great fries! As we wanted to have desert, we were advised very well and even told which ones come frozen and which are freshly made (the first time I experienced this, left me stunned and slightly incredulous it actually happened). We chose to share a fresh apple pie and it was amazing! So turns out poutine is just not my thing, yet I can totally recommend Dunn's! read more

OMG! OMG! Poutine to the umpthess! holly molly this was amazesballz. the gravy was delicious, the fries were just right and the freaking smoked meat, uh yes sir, piled on top enough for two people to share and not get all pissy that someone ate to much. read more

I ordered Dunn's Famous poutine, and my friend ordered pasta. They both tasted great. Meals are served quick also

Quick service, reasonable price and good poutine :) popped in for a quick lunch stop and they had us fed and watered in mere moments.

Great food. Melt in you mouth smoked meat. Kosta our surfer helpful and attentive but not intrusive. Definitely go back

Good smoked meat plate :) I like this restaurant bcuz it is 24hour open! I can go whenever i want, and good price with good beers. I really like it especially 24h opening! read more

I really enjoyed the atmosphere here. The food was great, I had a Smoked Meat Sandwich on a bagel. The booths and tables at the bar give this place a nice diner feel. The menu has tons to offer as well. Great choice for eats in downtown Montreal!!! read more

It was -11 F (sorry, from the U.S.) outside and I wanted to go to schwartz's, but Dunn's was two blocks away. I'm a genius. The medium smoked meat on rye was comparable to katz's pastrami in NYC, maybe better, since there wasn't an ounce of fat on it but yet just as tasty. Got take out, but the dining space seemed nice and cozy. read more

Dunn's, our go-to place for smoked meat... Maybe not so much anymore. We went on Valentine's Day and as usual, ordered the super smoked meat platter that costs about 18.00. Not long ago, some of the meat in the sandwich had to be removed and eaten with a fork because there was just too much of it and no mouth is that big! Alas, not so on our last visit. No problem biting into that sandwich, meat and all. How disappointing. Still, what little there was of it was good, as were the fries, cole slaw and dill pickle. We have never had a problem with the service; it's always been friendly and fast. read more

Very friendly staff. Fast service! I ordered Dunn's Poutine and had it within 10 minutes. Very much enjoyed it! Highly recommended giving this place a shot. read more

Stopped here to try Poutine on our Montreal vacation. Poutine was delicious with lots of cheese curds. Pudding Choumeur was on my Montreal food bucket list so tried that for dessert as well. Extremely rich and sweet. read more

Dunn's is as advertised....OUTSTANDING. Service was great, the smoked meat poutine was divine and the super meat club sandwich was heavenly. Definitely hit it again on next trip read more

Been going to Dunn's since 1980. Would go downtown at 2 am just for a smoke meat and cheese cake, back when the restaurant was around. Last few visits to Metcalf the sevice was a little slow. The sandwich was good, but dry. Recently bought 2 boxes of frozen smoke meat packs to bring to Ontario to some ex-montrealers. We were dissapointed. Cooked in boiling water, once drained the meat went dry and tough quickly. Was also very salty. Far from the old Dunns read more

A huge rainstorm the other week led to my friend and I sheltering in here for lunch, whiling away an hour that would otherwise be spent getting soaked, salivating instead over the menu choices. Stopping here was honestly a strike of good luck; both the menu and restaurant are unpretentious, much like the city itself, but the food is honest, delicious and unapologetically indulgent. To start, we went for a plate filled with all their bestselling starters - things like potato skins with bacon, Cheddar cheese and caramelised shallots, deep-fried mozzarella sticks, onion rings and smoked meat egg rolls. I would really recommend these last ones. They came with a pot of sweet plum dipping sauce, the kind you might expect with a Chinese takeaway, and the fruitiness complemented the smoked, spiced meat perfectly. After a lot of indecisive flicking through the menu, we finally decided on a smoked meat bagel (bagels being another thing Montreal is famous for, if you're a visitor to the city) with a side of skin-on French fries, coleslaw and pickles, as well as grilled salmon. The latter was marinaded in honey and had a gorgeous nubbly crust of walnuts and pecans. If you want good food and a taste of real Montreal with the poutine and smoked meat choices, I don't think you could go wrong by going here. It's handy to remember that this place is open 24/7 if ever you need some post-drinking carbs or are stuck for somewhere to eat too. read more

Great for what it is. A 24/7 deli/diner. Smoked brisket is perfection. Very tender, very lean, no grizzle to chew on and get stuck in your teeth.I like this style of prep much better than Irish corn beef. Friendly service, ample portions. read more

I don't usually write reviews but after we received the MOST terrible service ever at Dunn's I felt I needed to write this one. The food was delicious - we had the smoked meat poutine and a regular poutine - but our server was rude to the point of it being almost unbelievable. It was unfortunate as we were looking forward to tucking in, watching the Habs game and having a nice night out as a family - but the service was so terrible we had our poutine and left. Very disappointing. read more

We went to the DDO West Island location and each time the service is fantastic, food is fresh, the ambience is great. The background music is very good - ambience music while you enjoy your smoked meat platter and possibly a drink with that. The restaurant is very clean and the staff is always friendly and impeccable attire. We drive from the east end to the DDO Location for its service, quality, cleanliness, and great music. Keep it up we will come back and tell our friends about it as well. m. read more

great smoked meat place (ask for medium).. right downtown / next to the movie theatre.... in and out in less than 1 hour.. reasonably priced.. nice / fast service... read more

Not sure what it's famous for. The service was very slow and inattentive and the food was so-so. The smoked meat was ok but not at all what we expected for being "famous." There has to be better choices than this. read more

It's hard to give this a fair review since I'm a pescatarian, however, I thought the Matzoh Ball Soup was a bit crumbly, while the Latkas were too greasy and could've been crisper read more

Delicious smoked meat sandwiches! Just lucked into this place the first afternoon in Montreal. Once we settled in of course we had to try the other famous smoked meat place who's name starts with an "S". No comparison. This place wins has hands down. read more

a good plate of spaghetti bolognese served in 5 minutes with lot of sauce at 2AM!! fabulous!

I freely acknowledge that my five-star rating may have a little to do with the fact that I haven't had good poutine in years. But even if they didn't have poutine, Dunn's would be worth a visit for their smoked meat sandwich -- the way it melts in your mouth is just heavenly. (Why the Quebecois can't just call it 'pastrami', I don't know.) read more

In Montreal for my wife's conference and I was alone with the kids for the day, so I finally had a chance to make my one wish happen and brought the kids here. It was late in lunch hour and was pretty crowded, but we were seated within 10 minutes. It's a nice enough place with a nostalgic deli/diner feel. Very narrow though. Our server was nice. The wait was tough with the kids; the kitchen was pretty backed up with the crowd. Eventually, the food did come. The kids enjoyed their chicken (smaller portion than I anticipated but it worked) and burger. I had a smoked meat Reuben. And holy cow, was that a lot of meat. It was a double decker. I was stuffed by the end, but the server asked if I didn't like it since there was so much left over. Do people normally finish this thing? It was a great meal, and crowdedness aside, it was an inviting diner and I totally understand the appeal. If I came back to town, I'd beeline for this place again. read more
