I hate to disappoint you but Dunn’s has had two restaurants outside of Quebec in Ottawa, Ontario, for years.

I admit, I phrased that rather awkwardly…

What I was trying to convey was that both White Spot and Dunn’s have thrived in their respective cities since the late 1920′s and have become institutions, for better or for worse. While (some) Vancouverites wax nostalgic for Triple O Burgers at White Spot, Montrealers share a similar sentiment for Dunn’s.

Dunn’s isn’t gourmet, I admit, but their smoked meat knocks the socks off what had been passed as authentic Montreal-style smoked meat in Vancouver previously. It’s worth the visit.

Well, not exactly! But for a lot of Vancouverites WS is a reminder of home, just like Dunn’s for Montrealers.

So it’s like having a chain of generic, not even middle of the road food serving restaurants open up…but with french people?

Awesome!
