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 tried the Le Florentine breakfast dish at Greenspot & it was absolutely delicious! This twist on classic eggs Benedict features perfectly poached eggs on toasted English muffins, topped with creamy hollandaise sauce & fresh sautéed spinach. The eggs were cooked just right-silky yolks that oozed over the dish-& the spinach added a nice earthy flavor that balanced the richness of the hollandaise.

The side of crispy breakfast potatoes was seasoned well & complemented the dish perfectly. The portion was generous, leaving me fully satisfied without feeling overly stuffed. The coffee was fresh & robust, rounding out the meal nicely.

Service was quick & friendly, even during the busy breakfast rush. The cozy, casual atmosphere made it a great spot to start the day. If you're a fan of eggs Benedict or just looking for a hearty breakfast, Greenspot's is the spot.

The Green Spot Restaurant on Notre-Dame Street in Montreal is a beloved local institution that captures the charm of an old-school diner while delivering consistently satisfying comfort food. Stepping inside feels like stepping back in time - vinyl booths, checkered floors, & a friendly, bustling atmosphere that's been welcoming customers for decades.

The menu is hearty & straightforward, featuring all the classics: perfectly grilled burgers with crisp lettuce & juicy patties, golden fries, rich poutines, club sandwiches stacked high, & all-day breakfasts that hit the spot any time. Milkshakes & homemade desserts add a nostalgic touch, making the experience complete.

Service is quick, friendly, & refreshingly genuine, whether you're a regular or just passing through. Prices are reasonable, portions are generous, & the food arrives hot & fresh every time.

The Green Spot isn't about trends - it's about doing the basics right, with care & consistency. For anyone in Montreal looking for a reliable, photogenic slice of retro diner culture paired with great comfort food, it's a must-visit.

Best dive resto around. Want eggs at 1am? You got it. Poutine for breakfast? Sure thing. Love the pickles here, always get a plate. Atmosphere is retro but calm. Great music, better staff!
