    Smoked meat is another word for pastrami - but with a twist. That difference in flavor differentiates it from it's more famous cousin. But this place is amazing. The flavor of the meat was terrific. Honestly, we couldn't get enough. Even though our time in Montreal was limited we came back to this place twice. So good. FOOD: Like I said, delicious. You have to get the smoked meat even though they have plenty of other things. Of course you can get the classic poutine also - a Canadian classic. But you're here for the smoked meat. For sure. SERVICE: Good! Can't complain. People were very nice with us tourists and the portion sizes are huge. We had enough to take back with us each time. COST: Very good for the quality AND quantity. Totally worthwhile.

    This historical establishment didn't disappoint. I got the French onion soup which was tasty n garlicky. Then I ordered a Cobb salad with smoked meat instead of chicken. Great way to taste the meat without the extras. I was pleased. Locals love this spot n tourists enjoy it too.

    We came here for a late night dinner around 10. Thank God they were open or we would be starving. Even though it was late it was still full and it kept filling up with late diners and young people. I ordered fried rice, it was good I ate half of it it was a big serving for me and hubby ordered the sandwich and he liked it. The egg rolls were amazing as well. Our waiter was very attentive and our food came in a reasonable time. It's a casual place, plenty of tables and bathrooms are located downstairs.

    We walked to Dunn's from our hotel, looking for a late night dinner of Poutine, and heard they had good smoked meat poutine. Although we read that service wasn't great, we decided to give it a try. The place was busy, but not packed. We were seated right away by an unfriendly host, which tracked with reviews. Our waiter came by and quickly took our drink order, and then we chose to order the smoked meat poutine. Drinks were delivered to our table, and we enjoyed those waiting for our poutine. There were a few games on the TV's around the bar, and the place had a fun atmosphere. Our poutine was delivered and Wow. There is a ton of tiny shredded pieces of the smoked meat atop our poutine with gravy and cheese curds sitting over the fries. The food was really good, we enjoyed the poutine. Our server never came back to check on us, we had to ask for the check, and there was no interaction with the staff even over the check. It really is too bad as we found the poutine to be very flavorful, the meat was melt in your mouth tender and had a very nice smoky flavor to it. We knew the service was going to be a hit or miss, just wanted to try the food. If you can overlook the lack of friendly service, the food was good.

    Taste like piss and I hate to say that about food but this was nasty the worst thing I've eaten in a while !

    I've really tried to give this place chance after chance, but it just keeps disappointing. This time I ordered the Club Roll, and honestly, it was nothing like the photos they show online or on Uber Eats. Instead of a stacked smoked meat sandwich, what I got looked more like ham, salami, or even bologna definitely not smoked meat. The portion was small and felt misleading compared to their promo pictures. A couple of months ago, I also tried their Louisiana potato soup with bacon, and it came watery with almost raw bacon thrown not slow cooked, not even crispy, just undercooked. Totally unappetizing. Their smoked meat sandwiches aren't much better. When they do give smoked meat, the slices are cut so thick that they fall right out of the bread and make it impossible to enjoy. The only positives: they're generous with the fries (if you're lucky enough to get them fresh and crispy), and the pickle and coleslaw are usually solid. But for a place that's supposed to be known for smoked meat, it's really disappointing that they can't seem to get the basics right. It sucks, because this is an iconic name in Montreal. but based on repeated experiences, I just can't recommend it anymore. I will forsure keep trying and hoping

    What a fun casual place with good poutine. Our table looked like the twister game, I noticed other tables had other themes such as Pac-Man. We ordered poutine and an order of Fish and Chips and shared both between us. The poutine was excelled but the fish and chips were just OK. The service was friendly and although our food was served quickly, we ordered dessert and ended up cancelling the order because it took so long. I want to go back and try their smoked meat sandwich!

    Open faced smoked meat

    From start to finish this place was a mess. Our server weakly "greeted" us after we called out for acknowledgment. After being sat, we were met with with the rudest server I've experienced in Canada. He picked on my dining partner for not understanding the difference between two of the sandwiches. My dining partner - who is not even from the North American continent, speaks English as a second language, and has an accent that clearly demonstrates this - was unsure about open face versus not open face. Our server made a quip that was pretty rude and straight up ignorant, but he lacked self-awareness to figure that out. Now this terrible experience with 2 of the service staff barely factors into why this place gets one star. We were told that this place had great smoked meat. To my knowledge, smoking meat with particular wood gives it a very nice flavor and often times it is seasoned. I have had smoked meat in the American South as well as the Australian Outback and it is bombastically delicious. This is not funny, but I laughed at it. The food that he was served was a significantly smaller portion than mine, which is strange because he was rudely told that the only difference between the two sandwiches was that one had bread on top. Look at the photos and tell me if you spy the difference. We had some appetizers (the only reason this place gets more than one star) and they were mid, but they had something that the smoked meat didn't have: flavour! The smoked meat here is like wet sawdust. It tastes like nothing. It's not dry, which is good, but it doesn't taste like much of anything. It was simply terrible. My dining partner ate the food as a source of protein and sustenance and nothing more. He was appalled. What made this even more of a ridiculous situation is that while we were trying to eat our MDF-level meat scraps, our server decided to have a conversation with the table behind us and complain about the pro-Palestine protesters that day, saying that if they don't like it in this country, they should go back to their own. I get being frustrated about traffic being blocked, but spewing anti-immigrant sentiment creates for an uncomfortable dining experience in a city that gets any amount of tourism. For the service to be so bad, you would think that they would really step it up with the food so you could at least say "wow" at the end of your meal, but it was a shocking disappointment. With the double whammy of the bad food and not great server, I am flabbergasted at how this place is still doing business like this.

    Maybe one of the best poutines i've ever had ! Of course. I had a montreal smoke meat sandwich and it was outstanding. The atmosphere was old montreal, and the pricing wasn't far behind. Thanks for a great experience that didn't break the bank.

    We tried Dunn's for the first time and the service was impeccably fast. The host was patient with us as well. Although we ordered take-out, the place had a nice ambiance with lots of seating. We got poutine as well as the smoked meat sandwich. We also ordered the Dunn's famous smoked meat poutine and the smoked meat burger. The smoked meat poutine was covered in smoked meat and packed with flavour. There was a perfect ratio of cheese curds to gravy to fries as well. The smoked meat burger did not quite live up to our expectations. The burger patty itself was dry and there was only a few slices of smoked meat. On the other hand, the smoked meat sandwich was great! Highly recommend. If you're ever in Montreal, definitely hit up this spot.

    My husband went to get poutine from Dunn's and came back with this. The fries are ok, cheese is really good and the meat is ok. Kind of weird to be honest. We agreed that Costco fries and the rest of this poutine would be a perfect combo.

    Small sandwich comes w/fries, pickle and slaw

    We had a bit of a wait on a rainy week day but luckily we were able to wait inside where they have a bit of space for a few parties to be seated. This is a lovely sit down restaurant. There is a small bar area with just a few bar stools if you prefer bar seating. A large U-shaped booth takes up the front window and would make a nice spot for a group. The menu here is extensive. Although they offer smoked meat, the menu runs from starters to dessert with a variety of salads, soups, poutine and pizza. Their sandwiches come with sides of fries, coleslaw and a pickle. Besides bar items, the offer coffee options, hot cocoa, milk shakes and sodas. The kids menu includes ice cream with each selection. We didn't have to wait too long to be seated at a table for two with a knee wall to one side and a large party on the other. The hostess left us with menus and flatware. The waiter took a bit to arrive and by then I had read over the menu, made my choice and had time to look around. This is a comfortable space with high ceilings, rich tones and several TV's around the room. The table, seats and floors were clean. Restrooms are in the back. The wait staff were in constant motion and although professional, none had any time to be chatty. Items were dropped off in a hit and run fashion as they tried to keep up with the crowds. My soda was served in a can, but I did see fountain drinks as well. It took a while for our meals to arrive. Served on a natural material basket with a paper liner I have to wonder how sanitary is that basket after a few meals served on it? Can they run that through the dish washer? Anyhow. I got the smoked meat bagel with swiss, lettuce and tomato on a Montreal Bagel. This was a very nice sandwich. Condiments are on the table if needed, but I enjoyed this as is. These Montreal Bagels make a very nice sandwich. My sandwich meat was very lean, but my SO's sandwich had one huge fatty piece of meat included with the lean meat. It looked like it has been cut off, put aside and then accidentally scooped up and added to the sandwich with the rest of the meat. He just pulled that off but you can see it in the photo. Some folks love a good fatty piece of beef so you might drool over it. Other than that, both sandwiches were very lean. His Le Petit Combo is a 'small' (plenty big) sandwich served on Rye w/fries, coleslaw and a pickle. Those pickles are tasty. Although very busy and with one obnoxious guest in the large group that even they clearly wished would go away, this was a pleasant dining experience. There are two famous smoked meat restaurants in Montreal. This one is older by one year. They each have different pro's and con's. Definitely try this one out.

You can also reserve room if you are a big group. There's also a restaurant with various food that we didn't try. We didn't try the arcade, we ran out of time on our schedule but we will come back. The arcade work with a card where you accumulate point that you can spent on things in the gift shop. Like many arcade, the more token you buy, the cheaper the cost per token is. We took the combo that is 1 game of bowling, 1 game of laser tag and 1 round of mini golf. The bowling is with big balls. There's a little ramp for the kids or those that just need a little help. There's only one though so you have to share it across the 8 alley. The bowling itself is nice, alley are straight and clean. There's a wide range of ball weight that should be ok for everyone. The mini golf here is special. It's not a less put parcours, it's a most point. Point are done in 2 ways. Once you put, there's a 60sec timer. The time left once you enter the cup is bonus point. The other way is through the course. There's special tricks that you can do to earn extra points and even lose some. It's a very nice twist and it was fun. We ended with a game of laser tag. I saw the maximum occupancy is 28 players splitter in 2 or 3 teams. We were 6 and honestly, the room is small. Unless there's some hidden wall that get open for more player, I wouldn't see much more then 10 players. 28 would be over crowded for sure. For us at 6, it was perfect. One thing is the room itself is dangerous. Like many laser tag room, it's dark. The problem is they put some stuff like ramp but without anything to show you the edge or worst, they put some theming. Half of us were hurt by the stage. I myself trip, while walking slowly down one of those ramp where I though it was going in a specific direction but no. I ended up falling face first, scratching my knees and nearly broking my finger. My girlfriend opened her elbow while edging a wall and our friend got some similar stuff happened. Another thing is they don't really explain you anything beside how to shoot. There's a lot of stuff in the room that you can shoot and I never knew if it did anything beside some animation. Like a wall that seems like maybe a forcefield that would maybe disable enemy shield if they walk through? I don't know. The gun had 2 way to shoot, a long laser or a short range scatter shot like a shotgun. Was fun to be able to cycle through mode. We still had fun, but the state was dangerous in my opinion. It is a nice place to have a fun spend money. Kids will love it for sure and grown up too
