Overall, Chez Greenberg earns praise for its standout smoked salmon bagel and a warm, welcoming atmosphere that balances high quality food with a relaxed vibe. The menu feels thoughtful, featuring housemade elements like smoked salmon, lemon cream cheese, knishes, latkes, and a variety of bagel and lox combos, with many reviews calling the lox and the whitefish salad exceptional and the coffee excellent. The staff are friendly and attentive, creating a comfortable dining environment, though service can slow slightly during busy periods. The space is clean, cozy, and versatile for casual meals or small gatherings, and the kitchen emphasizes freshness, balanced flavors, and careful presentation with attention to ingredient quality and even homegrown touches in some dishes. Pricing is generally fair for the level of quality, and most guests say the experience is worth returning for, with several noting thoughtful touches on delivery orders. Special meals, like the Seder, are highlighted for their organization and quality.
I had this spot saved on my'places to try' list for a while, & finally made it there, & I'm so glad I did.
From the outside, it's absolutely charming. The green exterior & terrasse give it such a fresh, inviting vibe. Walking in, the space opens up into a bright, open-concept layout. There's a really cool seating area that feels more like a stylish lounge than a typical restaurant, & right in front, the kitchen is fully visible. I loved that you can see everything being prepared.
The service was just as impressive as the space. Everyone was warm & polite, & the owner even came by to say hello & helped clear our plates, which added a really personal touch.
I ordered the BLC, & it was amazing. The smoked salmon was incredibly fresh, with none of that overly'fishy' smell you sometimes get. The quality really stood out, & I finished my plate in minutes.
Overall, a great experience. I'd definitely recommend it, & I'll absolutely be coming back.
The Seder meal for 6 people was outstanding! The organization of the food required, the freshness & the quality of the food was exceptional. They provided everything required including a Seder Plate! The highlights were the hand grated horseradish, the vegan chopped liver with fried onions, the coleslaw, the delicious baked salmon, the yummy mushroom cutlets, & the home grown karpaS salad. Bravo! A job well done.

I ordered the schmear latke with OG lemon, their coffees & the smoked salmon (which I was most excited about). Everything was delicious & I will definitely be reordering the smoked salmon. Here was our brunch spread haha
Their smoked salmon is absolutely astounding. A bit pricier than what you'd get at the grocery store, yes, but totally worth it. I look for every excuse possible to stop in & buy a pack.
Delicious smoked salmon bagel with the crispy shredded potatoes. Excellent espressos. Lovely vibes. I've also ordered delivery, & it was likewise amazing.
GREAT experience at Greenbergs. The smoked salmon was amazing & the whitefish salad on bagel was delicious. Smoked salmon made in house !!!!Knishes were top notch too. The poutine knish was a special treat. Shout out to Jake & his cousin for making
the experience even more delightful. A visit while in Montreal
It's unlike any bagel lox & cream cheese you've ever had! Every aspect is elevated with the smoked salmon, the lemon shmear &'shmutz'… you need to try it! The coffee & the poutine knishes are also a must! Oh & the VIBES!!
This place is a wonderful addition to the neighborhood & brings back the old time place where you can hang out & be well fed. I happen to be a huge fan of Jake's smoked salmon which I consider to be some of the best ever & always go home with a few pounds.
The bagels & salmon covered with his lemon cream cheese & crunchy fried onions is wonderful. His potato knishes are a true delight.
This menu will develop & grow over time as they gain more experience & feedback from the neighbors.
This place can certainly become an iconic must stop when friends come to visit Montreal. In the meantime we can all enjoy it before the line ups start.
