Not all catering leaves a memory. Some meals arrive lukewarm in foil trays and disappear from your guests’ minds before dessert is served. 

But then there are the meals people remember. The ones they talk about days later. The ones that feel like an experience, not just a box to check on your event planning list. That’s what Dunn’s Famous brings to the table.

Known for its legendary smoked meat and Montreal deli roots, Dunn’s Famous has been feeding generations since 1927. And now, with a catering service that captures the same bold flavor and heritage that built their reputation, Dunn’s offers more than just food; it delivers a culinary story, plated and ready to impress.

Whether you’re planning a business lunch, a family celebration, or a major milestone event, here’s how Dunn’s transforms typical catering into something unforgettable.

A Legacy of Flavor Since 1927

There’s something different about food that comes from tradition. Dunn’s Famous didn’t jump on a trend, it built one. Starting with hand-sliced, 14-day marinated smoked meat sandwiches that became a symbol of Montreal’s food culture. For almost a century, locals, tourists, and late-night diners have trusted Dunn’s to serve meals that hit the mark every single time.

This same standard carries through their catering. When you book Dunn’s, you’re not getting repackaged deli trays, you’re getting the same quality that’s made them a landmark. It’s more than convenience. It’s the comfort of knowing your guests will be served something real, something memorable.

What’s on the Menu

Catering menus often try to be everything to everyone and end up flavorless in the process. Not here. Dunn’s builds their catering offerings around what it knows best: Montreal-style smoked meat and deli classics that never go out of style.

Their smoked meat platters feature brisket that’s been marinated for two full weeks, then slow-cooked and sliced by hand. Every bite is tender, warm, and packed with depth. It’s the dish people return to for seconds, then thirds.

But the menu doesn’t stop there. You can round out your spread with other deli favorites like coleslaw, potato salad, and fresh garden salads. Freshly baked rye bread? Included. Crunchy dill pickles? Naturally. Every element is prepared with the same attention to detail you’d expect if you were sitting in one of their booths downtown.

And if you’re looking for variety, there are customizable trays with assorted deli meats, vegetarian-friendly options, and sides that work for any crowd.

Perfect for Every Kind of Event

The beauty of Dunn’s catering is that it works just as well for a boardroom as it does for a backyard.

Corporate clients love the consistency, whether you’re feeding ten or a hundred, the food arrives fresh, well-portioned, and presented to make a good impression. For business meetings, training sessions, or conferences where you want to go beyond boxed sandwiches, Dunn’s sets a higher bar.

For families, Dunn’s brings ease and comfort. Whether it’s a birthday, a reunion, a holiday gathering, or even a wedding, their food adds warmth without the hassle. The menu is crowd-pleasing, nostalgic, and easy to serve, and you won’t need to worry about whether everyone leaves full.

It’s the kind of catering that doesn’t just fill plates. It brings people together.

Customization and Service That Goes the Extra Mile

Every event is different. Dunn’s understands that, which is why their catering isn’t one size fits all. You can stick with a curated menu if you want simplicity, or you can work directly with their team to build something more tailored.

Want a smoked meat carving station at your event? They can make that happen. Their professional carvers serve meat fresh off the blade, so every guest gets their sandwich just how they like it: lean, medium, or full-fat. It’s a small detail that leaves a big impression.

Have dietary needs or special requests? Dunn’s will work with you to make sure your event goes smoothly, from planning to the final bite.

Easy to Order

Booking catering should not feel like another project. Dunn’s makes the process simple. Their online catering inquiry form is the first step; just fill it out, and someone from their team will get back to you to confirm the details. You can also call directly if you need quicker coordination.

Delivery is punctual. Presentation is clean and thoughtful. And if your event needs extra support, they’ll help you plan every plate.

Their team understands food is one part of a bigger day. They work to make sure you don’t have to think twice about it.

This Is What Catering Should Taste Like

A lot of catering companies can feed a group. Very few can elevate a gathering. What Dunn’s does differently is rooted in experience, decades of it. When you serve your guests a Dunn’s Famous platter, you’re not just feeding them. You’re giving them a taste of Montreal, a bite of history, and a plate full of comfort that says, “This event matters.”

So the next time you’re planning something worth remembering, serve something they’ll remember too.
