Dunn's famous Diner is an iconic Montreal Smoked meat restaurant in the heart of Vancouver; however, its name is somewhat of a misnomer. I was on Granville street with a friend looking for a quick bite to eat so I pulled out my iPhone and quickly found Dunn's on Urbanspoon. It had good reviews so we made our way over and upon arrival discovered a completely desolate, barren, empty diner. Slightly nervous about the lack of customers at 6:30pm on a busy Friday night in Vancity, we decided to risk it anyway. Our server was extremely eager to serve us(she almost seemed shocked at having customers) but she was kind and very helpful in choosing a Menu item. She recommended the Reuben and gave me the choice of lean, medium or fatty cut. The service was impigrous to say the least and the sandwich I received was ludicrously large. As soon as I took a bite I knew I had made a good choice (with a little help from my server). Even better than the sandwich were the French fries. One of the restaurants specialties is poutine and the fries served with my sandwich convinced me it would be a top notch poutine. My friend ordered the burger and complimented the barbecue sauce and although he was not overly impressed, had only good things to say.
Although serving decent quality food, the restaurant was a little on the expensive side ($20 for my Reuben and a cherry soda) but with top notch sandwiches being served, it's a wonder Dunn's famous isn't as famous as the name suggests.
