Review Summary

Greenspot is widely regarded as a quintessential Montreal institution, celebrated for its nostalgic, vintage diner atmosphere and reliable comfort food. Many guests praise the restaurant for its generous portions, particularly its signature poutine, smoked meat sandwiches, and diverse menu options that cater to various cravings. While the majority of visitors highlight the fast service and friendly staff as key components of their positive experience, others note that the dining environment can be busy and occasionally inconsistent in terms of service attentiveness. Despite some mixed feedback regarding specific dish preparations or wait times during peak hours, most patrons view the establishment as an authentic, reasonably priced local staple that successfully captures the charm of a classic greasy spoon.

i am a usual there. I Like it but It's getting weirder for the last months i go there.. Staff are nice, but sometimes vibes are just weird with the staff. I loved my waitress tonight. Anyways...tonight, i got a carrot cake & to my last spoonful of it - i saw a small dead fly in the plate - told my waitress about it just for future clients they could be serving dessert if the cake is already cut & in plates- & she was personnaly disgusted. I was disgusted too tbh. She came back & told me that the manager said that ::: because its summer, flies come in easily & get on plates. That's how it is. I didn't say anything back & just paid & left, but as I am walking I feel offended & kind of disappointing that I got such answer. Look at the plates before sending - It's obnoxious & not okay to normalize such bad food quality control- the answer was the most disappointing thing - to understand that they really don't care much about salubrity & food control. I could cook food at home with flies around, but not one fly will drop on my plate. That fly was long dead.

Pretty good food, incredibly huge portions, & decently reasonable pricing. Greenspot has been around for ages & it's going to outlive me for sure. Definitely enjoyed my meal there & have definitely enjoyed a lots of other visits in the past. In a strange way, it's one of those generational spots as this was a place that my parents used to go in college & now me & other family members in the generations after. Looking forward to a return trip next time I'm back in Montreal, especially for breakfast as the menu for breakfast is ridiculously huge. Added bonus, the Atwater market just around the corner so it's easier to make it into a whole event.

I was in town for a business trip & noticed this place was conveniently located near my meeting, so I decided to give it a try. Since it was my first visit, I went with the classics: a lean Montreal smoked meat sandwich & a small poutine. I also asked for extra pickles.
The cashier was friendly & even commented that I had made a great choice. While waiting for my takeout order, I got a good feel for the restaurant-the atmosphere was welcoming, & both the staff & customers seemed genuinely friendly.
The smoked meat sandwich was outstanding. The meat was tender & flavorful, & they were generous with the pickles, which were crisp & delicious. The poutine was a little on the salty side for my taste, but it was still very tasty.
I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in town, & I think I'll be trying one of their famous hot dogs.

Waiter (young fellow) was nice & quick. Not impressed with the behind the counter staff, did not even provide wifi password (although in the wifi options you can clearly see there are several). I stopped by the place to have a quick bite & work a bit but that was not possible . Should improve
