The Best Delis for Smoked Meat in Montreal | Eater Montreal

"Dunn’s Famous opened around the same time as Schwartz’s in 1927, but only started focusing on Montreal smoked meat in the 1970’s. Today, it’s one of the rare local delis to have become a chain, expanding to encompass multiple locations across Quebec. Despite the corporatization, it’s still quite serviceable." - JP Karwacki

Had a nice lunch here with the boys. Big plates of the good stuff. I had the assemble-your-own sandwich option and it was great. I opted for the highest "moistness" (which means highest fat) and it was super succulent. The wait staff was friendly, fast, and efficient. We got a nice little bowl of chips with our drinks. Someone got a poutine as a side and it was huge, gargantuan. Decor is nice, music was classic rock, washroom was clean. Nothing to complain about here, all nice stuff.

Dunn's Famous Smoked Meat: Your New Problematic Obsession Look, if you enjoy having your culinary world gently challenged, Dunn's Famous Smoked Meat isn't for you. This place doesn't just serve food; it recalibrates your entire palate, leaving you with a delicious problem: nothing else will ever taste quite as good. The smoked meat itself is a masterpiece of tender, smoky perfection. Each bite is a little triumph, but also a tiny tragedy, because it sets a bar so ridiculously high for future meals. You'll finish your sandwich wondering why you ever bothered with other sandwiches. And the fries? Oh, the glorious fries! They aren't just a side; they're perfectly crispy, golden rods of pure potato joy, almost offensively delicious in their own right. They're so good, in fact, that they manage to hold their own against the main event. It's almost unfair to other restaurants. So, go ahead. Indulge. Just don't come crying to us when your formerly favorite meals suddenly feel profoundly inadequate. Dunn's doesn't just satisfy; it spoils you rotten, and you'll absolutely love every moment of it.

The food was exactly what I expected. The place is a bustling deli with speedy service and servers. Everything here is good, but nothing in particular stands out as 'the best' compared to other restaurants. They do have a wide variety of menu items however. I enjoyed my buffalo chicken poutine and while my matzo ball soup tasted good, it came out a little cold! Overall, worth a visit with tasty food and reasonable prices.

Classic diner vibes with solid, comforting food! We came here for a casual meal and were pleasantly surprised by how hearty everything was. The smoked meat sandwich was super generous with thick, tender slices — juicy and full of flavor. Definitely one of the highlights! The spaghetti with meat sauce was simple but satisfying, and the garlic bread was crispy and buttery, just the way it should be. The French onion soup was rich and cheesy, and those potato pancakes on the side were golden and crispy — great with the sour cream. Nothing fancy, just good old-school food that hits the spot. Great place if you’re in the mood for something filling and unpretentious.

Perfect destination for visitors to the city to try Montreal smoked meat. Perfect diner vibes, comforting food that was very tasty and fresh. Service was friendly and down to earth. The fries are unique and scrumptious. Highly recommend their famous strawberry cheesecake, made fresh in-house. It is GIRTHY. One piece is perfect to share. I will be back!

Very good smoked meat experience. Roughly comparable to Schwartz's in terms of quality, with a fraction of the crowds. Service was quick and the servers were attentive. The sandwich was spot-on, but the fries were a bit stale.

It's my first time having a "proper poutine" and it's not a disappointment at all! I went with the original Quebecois poutine and add some bacon in it. SUPER YUMMY! We were there on lunch time, the place was packed but they have enough staffs to keep the business flow which is such a plus! Impressive! The plate is super bug as well, very worth the money! Recommended!

Le petit combo- The smoked meat was delicious. It stands out in a city with other great options. It was the umami flavor you’d expect but tender. This smaller portion was pefect for me. If you come hungry you won’t be disappointed.
