Everything was just okay. I felt I spent more than I should have. I didn't dislike it, and might return to give it one more shot.

Smoked meat poutine = the only way to kick off a trip to Montreal. Luckily our hotel was around the corner from Dunn's and we were able to make this happen as soon as we arrived. Dunn's is a casual spot - basically like a hybrid diner / deli. The menu had a variety of different types of sandwiches, poutine and grill food. Because Montreal is known for poutine and smoked meat we opted for a big bowl of poutine topped with smoked meat. This wasn't the best pastrami that I've ever had, but was still delicious and tasted great mixed with the poutine. I also ordered a crock of french onion soup which was topped with tons of cheese and had great flavor. Nothing better when the high is below zero degrees! We washed everything down with some cold Molson (okay, if you can't tell we were excited to be in Canada) and were in and out in under an hour. Overall, Dunn's is a solid pick if you want a fast hot lunch in Montreal. read more

Dunn's - Smoked meat poutine - Poutineries Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

I so want to give this place 5 Stars because my wife and I really enjoyed our time here. Our server was really friendly and helpful, my wife's Ruben was amazing! The only reason I can't give this review 5 stars is because Dunns is supposed to be known for their Poutine and Mine was awful. Maybe I should have got the original instead but it was soggy and very little flavor. Maybe just an off day. We will definitely be back to give it another shot. read more

Great place for a sandwich. Nothing like Texas brisket, but it's great. I got the fried rice which had a lot of meat and nice vegetables too. My husband got the Reuben and was impressed. Also loved the slaw read more

Delicious, flavourful poutine! The best I've e ever had! The service was great! It was around two pm in the afternoon on a Tuesday, we just arrived in Montreal and were craving poutine... we wanted to go to the best place and we definitely found it! We're planning on going again at least one more time... so many more poutine flavours to try out! read more

This place was cool and kind of small. We wanted something to get a feel for Canadian food. So of course we had to try the poutine. I got the GENERAL TAO one and it was tasty, my daughter got the DUNN'S FAMOUS one but the gravy wasn't really that good but the meat was fine and flavored. The strawberry cheese one was thee best! Now that alone was a 5 star, that's a must try. The server was very nice! read more

Excellent poutine with smoked meat! Perfectly balanced, which is not something I say often about poutine. French onion soup was also good - not too salty. Prices were reasonable and service friendly. read more

Dunn's - Dunn's special with smoked meat. - Poutineries Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

Really solid place to come and eat with the family. Service was good and the place was pretty favorable to kids. I had a meat bowl and poutine fries. Everything is seasoned and cooked well. The one caveat for me was the drinks were pretty mild when I think they should have had more of a kick. read more

Poutine!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Okay, so this wasn't the BEST I ever had but I still really enjoyed the poutine they served here. Let's put it this way, I liked it enough that I went two days in a row. That's also because I really liked their smoked meat sandwich platter ... which was just awesome. The meat was good and I actually enjoyed this more than Schwartz's. Yeah yeah call me crazy but I felt the meat here was more tender and juicy. As someone who's lived off Jewish delis pretty much most of my life in NYC, I guess there was just something about Dunn's smoked meat that seemed to fit my palate better. The service here was decent. It got kind of busy both nights I was here but the servers were all still attentive and checked on us to make sure things were okay. I was too pleased with my meal on both nights honestly to notice anything else ... so you get the idea. That's not to say you shouldn't visit Schwartz's. But if you're not near that area and you're looking for a good plate of meat and fries oozing with gravy and cheese curds and you happen to be in the downtown area ... you can't go wrong with Dunn's! read more

Fast moving place. We arrived at 7:00PM and were seated immediately at one of the few remaining free tables. Service was fast and efficient. We went for some of the sandwich classics and poutine! We were served quickly and the neighboring table turn over was rapid. Dunn's is a classic Montreal dining experience! read more

Went late since we were pretty hungry and it was close to our hotel. Service was quick and it definitely hit the spot for some comfort food. Matzoh ball soup was pretty good and I would go back again just for this. I had the smoked meat fried rice and honestly this is something I'd make at home so it was very satisfying. I'd go back and try some other things on the menu. Very happy with the visit. read more

100% recommend for late night eats. We ordered every poutine on the menu. The general tao's poutine is a surprise favorite. Should have ordered more read more

Standard smoke meat as usual. They give a big portion that you can take I tried also the Laval Dunn's, the take out of full plater is much bigger.They don't have a drink menu. Everything is on the request. Gladly they have Belgian Moon on tap Compare to Schwartz, pretty much same. But flavour is a bit different. You can try it by yourself read more

je suis une fan de la poutine, en voyant les reviews j'ai cru que ce serait bon. Mais non, c'était du vieux fromage fondant. Il y avait beaucoup d'employés les bras croisés, ça peut 30 minutes avant qu'on vienne nous voir à la table pour finalement commander. Pour l'ambiance, il n'y en avait simplement pas. read more

-casual atmosphere -The poutine is a must. This was my favorite poutine in Montreal! We had the basic poutine with cheese curds and gravy, I could not stop eating it! -If you are looking for a classic montreal meal and want a smaller portion. I suggest splitting the smoked meat sandwich and upgrade your fries to poutine. This is a perfect sized lunch for two people. -the smoked meat sandwich was just as good as Schwartz's without the long wait. This is something you must eat while in Montreal. -Our server was friendly and checked up on us an appropriate amount of times. -My only negative is that the tables are a little too close together. You can easily dive into the conversation of the people sitting next to you. read more

Stopped by here with a party of five to soak up some excess booze. Open 24 hours, this place was surprisingly quiet for a Friday late night, as we were easily able to get a booth. Wasn't looking for anything large, settling on the plate of Chicken Wings (8 for $9). Wings are fried well though not slathered with any sauce; instead you choose one to the side (decided on the sweet & spicy). Okay flavor overall, and the side of carrots/lettuce are nominal. Looking around, probably would have been better to get a poutine instead, Service is quick and the place is kept together well despite being an overnight establishment. read more

We headed to Dunns on a Sunday night because we heard it was a poppin place. It was about 9pm and only a few people were there. It felt empty and it sounded like the chef was screaming at an employee. I give it high marks though because the signature Poutine was insanely good and the wait staff were friendly and attentive. The food came SUPER quick too. read more

Thought this was a great place for no frills Montreal / Canadian food. This place is popular enough but without the insanity of lines. We stopped by early in the afternoon on a weekend and were seated immediately. I got their reuben smoked meat sandwich and subbed out the fries for poutine (+$4), which was 100% worth it. At this point in my trip, I still haven't had any poutine. I probably should have gone with the la petite sandwich because I could only finish about 3/4 of my meal. The poutine was great and just as good as I imagined it would be. The smoked meat sandwich was good but not as good as the one I had a day earlier at another restaurant. The bread was a little too dry around the edges, so I ended up peeling off the crust. Overall, a good value and place to stop by if you want something casual and local. read more

Dunn's Famous in Montreal, QC is known for their smoked meat Sammmies, poutine, and cheesecake. Our waitress was helpful and said it was a $4 up charge to add poutine to our lunch special. We ordered the smoked meat on a sesame bagel (best sesame bagel with sesames embedded). It also came with coleslaw and a pickle. The poutine was in a bowl and big enough to split, which we did. The fries, gravy, cheese curds had a good flavor. The smoked meat Sammie was tasty too. We also shared a small cup of their homemade cream of potato soup. It was creamy but had chunks of potato. Delish!! We sat outside and will definitely return when going back to good ol' Montreal!! Maybe we will try that famous cheesecake next time! read more

Ok, don't sleep on this place here me out. When you walk in, this place feels like a chain (I know there are 3 locations but I'm talking like a major chain) but some of the food here is pretty darn good, especially for being open 24 hours. For instance, get a bowl of smoked meat poutine and what you get is a red bowl that is the biggest frickin portion of poutine you ever saw. Their smoked meat Rueben? Pretty great. The full dressed hotdog? I'd get it again. The French Onion soup was even decent. Some of the appetizers are meh, but overall this place is somewhere you should check out of your visiting. If you are out drinking and partying, this place is a must try. read more

Great late night spot to go to! Hubby & I came here at 10pm. Luckily it was walking distance from our hotel (Hotel Bonevature), took us less than 10 minutes to get here. Once inside, we got seated fairly quickly. I also think it wasn't too busy since we came on a weekday night (Wednesday). The booths have cute little individual coat hangers you can use too! I ordered the French Onion Soup & Sausage Poutine. Hubby ordered the Smoked Meat Sandwich & Richard's Red Ale. The server was super nice & had asked if I want the soup to come out first, or to have all the food come out at the same time. I told him we wanted it all at on once. So all our food came out pretty quick, about 15 minutes or so. My favorite hands down was the French Onion Soup!! The cheese melted was on point & I absolutely loved the broth. I practically picked up the bowl to drink it, lol. The Poutine was good too, but personally I like the regular Poutine more (just cheese & gravy). My hubby really liked the Smoked Meat sandwich and his beer. He said the meat's texture was perfect and taste was awesome. It also comes with coleslaw & pickles & fries, yum! The servings are pretty big by the way, so we ended taking some of our food to go. Overall, great spot & would def return again! Good food, good staff , & good location. read more

Classic spot if you are visiting Montréal! Highly recommended if you want some authentic cuisine.

There aren't very many poutine options near Old Montreal, except for maybe Montreal Pool Room. After drinks at Nhau bar, we were really craving late night eats, so we made our way to Dunn's for some smoked meat poutine. When you walk in, it's very diner-like and their menu looks like something out of Applebee's or TGIF. We really wanted La Banquiste or Poutineville, but it was way too far from our airbnb and Dunn's is famous for their smoked meat, so why not kill two birds? We got the smoked meat poutine and it came out SO FAST. The fries were fresh and crispy.. for about 1 minute. It's served in a big bowl topped with gravy and smoked meat. I think the fries would preserve more crispiness if it was served in a plate, more spread out. But who knows, I'm no poutine expert. Maybe it's supposed to be served like this. By the 5 minute mark, it was all just very soggy and not that enjoyable. But it was a huge amount of food! and the meat was not bad. I'd probably just make my way to one of the other poutine joints or Schwartz's next time. read more

Delicious and everything they say! We had the Rueben, a pizza and a salad. Smoked Meat is wonderful! Salads are huge and fresh. And the pizza is delicious as well! read more

Dunn's - Rueben - Poutineries Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

Had the Dunns Famous (the one with smoked meat). The server was very attentive and the smoked meat complimented the poutine pretty well. My friend and I inhaled it. Wouldn't say it was the best, but it was pretty good! And the server was attentive, efficient, and very personable. He might have been a manager because the other servers were asking him things. The thing that brought it down to a 4 star was because my friend ordered the classic (Quebecois), and they weren't that many cheese curds. read more

We are in town for the NAIDC and were looking to try something local and not a chain type place, as well as something close to our hotel. The brisket was to die for. Very tender and well seasoned. Husband had one of the poutine dishes, very good mixture of ingredients and flavors. We tend to look for places where it's mostly locals and loads of regular customers , as those are the types of places we prefer to go to at home. Might try to get over there again or have it door dashed before we head home. read more

We were here really late night with hunger and we all feel satisfied after this meal. The location is good and close to train station. The French onion soup was surprisingly great. There were lots of veggies and Bacon adding in the poutines which we liked very much. The smoked meat taste decent and not too salty compared to smoked meat I had in other restaurant. read more

Taste: 5 Service: 3 Value: 4 Presentation: 5 Overall: 4.2 Hi and welcome to another episode of javing it with Javier. It's definitely been a while but we are starting our adventure in Montreal this time. Being I was hungry and just got into the city, I decided to stop by for a late night snack. The poutine selection was endless but I decided to get their famous poutine. The poutine came in a pretty big bowl with melted cheese and Montreal smoked meat sprinkled on top. I wish the fries were a bit crispier but this is one of those places where the cheese curds are actually melted. The flavor of the gravy was good but was slightly saltier than I expected. It was still very good though! To finish off the night, I tried their chocolate cake and strawberry cheesecake dessert. Both of them were good and I had a tough time deciding which was better. Being it was a bar, the staff were pretty laid back and I had to wave then over to take our orders. The staff were very friendly though. I shared my poutine and dessert with my girlfriend as there was no way I could finish by myself. For the amount of food they gave, 20ish bucks was a steal! In conclusion, I have other poutine places to try but they definitely make a mean poutine. Also the fact that it is open 24 hours you can sate your poutine desires at any time. And that's it for today's episode of javing it with Javier. And remember food is life! read more

Covid sucked... closing the boarder to Canada or making it hard with tests left me Dunns free for a few years. I was pleasantly impressed they were exactly the same when I was there last weekend. First place we went after hitting the dispensary. . The smoked meat is just so amazing... even better than a brisket sandwich from down south... unless they put coleslaw on it and then in the running against Dunn's. Service was excellent as always. read more

Checked out this place on the 13th, I had the chicken honey mustard salad without chicken lol but it was actually soooo good! The amount of "toppings" added to the salad was awesome - most restaurant just give mostly lettuce and it's disappointing. My fiancé had the bacon cheddar burger with mushrooms and smoked meat poutine. He liked it and said he would rate it 3.5. I would give a 4. So overall for tonight's visit we give 3.5-4. read more

Stopped by on a recent trip to Montreal when I was craving a meal of smoked Montreal meat with a black cherry Coke. I ordered a small combo and upgraded my fries for poutine which cost an additional $4. The small combo is a sandwich with white bread and smoked meat, with side of coleslaw, pickle. Both the smoked meat and poutine were served steaming hot. I could only finish maybe a third of the poutine but managed to finish everything else! I was given 2 choices for the black cherry Coke, either can of Cott or on tap. The food is standard as Dunn's has now become a chain at multiple locations including Toronto. I arrived around 6:30pm and throughout the evening there were a steady stream of customers. I only saw about 3 servers but they were attentive and did not have to wait long after placing my order. read more

Great place for delicious food! I visited for 1 night from Toronto and chose the hotel down the street in order to visit this place. Arrived extremely late... at 3am.. and luckily Dunn's famous was a 3 min walk and open. I eat Montreal smoked beef ALL THE TIME and was extremely excited to try it IN Montreal! I tried the Dunn's famous smoked meat sandwich (asked without mustard but they put it in anyway... so that wasn't good.!). The smoked meat was UNBELIEVABLY DELICIOUS! So juicy, tender, hot and nicely marinated. With it i ordered the Dunn's famous poutine . It was a huge Poutine with the perfect cheese curds and the same delicious smoked meat on top. Yumm!! I also got a spicy crispy chicken burger ... very flavorful! And i got an extra crispy chicken patty and extra of their spicy mayo. I loved it! read more

It was ok, the French fries had not much flavor but the onion soup was good. The waiter was sort of disrespectful so I did not enjoy that. The place was super crowded and kind of hard to breathe in. Overall I don't think I would go back but I am glad I tried. read more

Best Smoked Meat in Montreal. Great service too. Never miss a chance to visit either location.

If you are in Montreal and didn't order smoked meat were you really in Montreal at all?? Dunn's was not on our radar for list of restaurants to go to. We walked by on our way over for dinner at another place and saw the big red sign that said OPEN 24H outside of Dunn's. After another late night of shenanigans we quickly thought of Dunn's which was not disappointing at all. I ordered their Reuben sandwich served with sauerkraut and thousand island dressing, fries, coleslaw and a pickle spear. The meat was fatty enough that it melts in your mouth but not greasy that would make you sick. The portion was big I think big enough to share with someone if you aren't overly hungry. They are a bar style so the servers are a little more laid back easy and friendly to talk to. They are very attentive and will come around filling our glasses up with ice water. Another solid place for a late night munchie run if you're in the downtown area. read more

I've been trying the smoke meat restaurants downtown near where I work and I've been to Dunn's a few times but never wrote a review (since this was before I joined Yelp). I decided to stop by here recently during lunch. Closest metro to this place is Peel and the restaurant is located between Ste-Catherine and Rene Levesques area. When I went there, there was a terrasse in the front but I decided to sit inside. I went inside and was asked if I wanted to sit at the bar or at a table/booth. I decided to sit at the bar. I was given the menu and looked at the lunch specials. I was surprised that their lunch specials did not include any smoke meat sandwich plates. I decided to order a smoke meat sandwich (which came with the usual dill pickle, coleslaw, and fries) and just have water. I was asked whether I wanted lean or medium and I opted for medium. In the first place that I sat down in the bar which was directly in front of the draft beer dispenser, there seemed to be a lot of flies so I asked the server if I could change seats and she mentioned that it was fine so I decided to move to a few seats away. Within a few minutes, someone came with my order. The coleslaw was very good. The fries were very good as well. The smoke meat wasn't the type of smoke meat that I preferred since I like it to be a bit drier and "flakier" but it was good nevertheless. The place got very crowded very fast during my lunch. When I showed up at around 11:55am, the place was crowded (but not 100% full) and I was seated immediately. By the time I was about to leave (~12:35pm), there was a line of people waiting to be seated. I would rank the experience/food 3 stars. Service wise, I didn't get my water refilled during my meal and what type of deli or smoke meat place doesn't have a smoke meat sandwich in their lunch menu prices but has other things like fish & chips?!?! Most people going to a place like Dunn's Famous would be going for the smoke meat and not fish & chips or the other stuff shown on their lunch menu read more
