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

The most amazing Reuben and Club Sandwich. The meat was juicy, moist and stacked high. The Club sandwich was more than anyone can eat. They give you a Hugh pickle, coleslaw and fries. It is pricey but since I got two meals out of my order I was able to justify it. The restaurant was clean with a nice ambience and service was good.

Absolutely delicious! I had the famous sandwich and it truly exceeded my expectations — the meat was so tender it literally melted in my mouth. Every bite was full of flavor, and the portion was generous. The experience totally worth it, especially if you're visiting Montreal and want to try something local and satisfying. *Highly recommended* — this place deserves the hype. *Must-try spot* if you love classic deli flavors done right!

This place closes after midnight. We got to our hotel around 11pm, this was one of few options we had. And I’m glad we went there. Their smoked meat is hands-down one of the bests. We shared a smoked club sandwich, asked to upgrade our fries with normal poutine, Louisiana soup and french onion soup. Everything was delicious. Their smoked meat and french onion were amazing. I didn’t care for it. I don’t was it, but I have to mention that I never had it before, so I can’t be a good judge of poutine.

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.

We went to this legendary restaurant while visiting Montreal. We went a little before 5:00 p.m. in order to avoid expected crowds. It was a good decision given the size of the actual restaurant. In terms of the food, it was quite delicious. We enjoyed a combination of the chicken fingers, hot dog and the traditional smoked meat. The size of meals was perfect. A special thank you to our server George who made our son feel extremely special while at the restaurant. He went out of his way. 🥪🌭🥤

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.

Tried the poutine here and it was absolutely amazing! The fries were crispy, the cheese curds were fresh and squeaky, and the gravy was rich and full of flavor. A true Canadian classic done perfectly! Highly recommend if you’re craving comfort food.

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.
