This has been my favourite bar since I moved to Montreal. The owner is a great host & servers are the best (for real). Try their lobster rolls, I was amazed!! Tartares & chicken burger are my faves too! For drinks, ask their special, Old Cuban, secretly crafted by Marouane & now available in the menu, you gonna love it!!

We had a great experience choosing this restaurant by chance. It did not disappoint. Owner was very personable & informative. The food was excellent & presented very well. Very attentive service & a relaxing, chill atmosphere…. Just what we were looking for. Tuna burger is exceptional!

2021 Cool little place on Laurier in the Mile End district. Service was pretty solid from start to finish. Many French students working here however did their best to serve us in our preferred English. Well done. Had lobster/mushroom stuffed medaglioni (giant ravioli) & lobster rolls. Very good. 2023 Still going strong. Fish 'n Chips, Tuna Burger, Tuna tartare, among other delights have all been savored. Mr. Angelo & his great staff do their best to take care of you, & succeed. Check it out.

Great atmosphere with warm lighting & friendly service from all the staff & owner.
Waitress went out of her way to make breakdown the menu & offer suggestions. Tuna burger was delicious with substitute of lettuce for the bun. Fish & chips was a generous portion cooked perfectly with a light breading. Wine by the glass was great pricing for today's market.

Excellent burger. Bonne boulette, sauce maison de qualité & pain brioché moelleux & dodu. La bavette était bonne aussi, mais la sauce moins satisfaisante avec un curieux arrière-goût un brin désagréable. Les légumes qui accompagnaient (rapinis?) étaient amers. Je suggère un autre choix à l'avenir. Très bons cocktails. Le Cirka Cesar est bien épicé & équilibré. Le cocktail au jus de pamplemousse (j'oublie le nom), très rafraîchissant! Les rondelles d'oignons : merveilleuses!! Bonne poutine, mais svp : du vrai fromage en grain frais! Le service impeccable, aimable & attentionné. Sommes toutes, quelques détails négatifs, mais une bonne expérience. Merci!

WOW! This restaurant was not what I remembered it being. Honestly, Im a harsh critic for restaurants, but my recent experience at Greasy Spoon was entirely positive. The restaurant has recently changed owners/management & I must say that I'll be going back thanks to the good food & service.

I went on a Saturday night with a girlfriend. Had no trouble getting a reservation earlier in the week & finding parking. We were eating a late meal, around 10 pm. I had the tuna tartare to start & the burger as my main course with a salad. Let me tell you, the tuna tartare was ONE OF THE BEST that i've had in a long time. The burger was also really good but for me, it was too big. It was also one of the best burgers i've had in Montreal. My girlfriend has the fried calamari to start, which isn't necessarily for me, but I have to admit it was tasty, especially the spicy marinara sauce that came with it. She also had a burger & LOVED it.

As for the drinks, I ordered a custom apple cucumber martini & the bartender had no hesitation to make it, & it was good. Just the right amount of alcohol & other ingredients.

The dessert for me was a miss. I didnt like the lemon meringue pie. I found it to be runny & the consistency didnt blend well with the graham & the foam on top (egg white foam or marshmallow?).

All in all, I'd give this resto an 8.5/9. I will definitely go back. The prices are reasonable, the environment is fun (you can catch a hockey game here ;)), & the food is good. Bravo to the new owners of G.S.!
