Greenspot emerges in reviews as a Montreal institution and a classic diner with a retro vibe, where hearty comfort food, generous portions, and reasonable prices draw locals and visitors alike. The menu consistently features poutine, smoked meat, burgers, steaks, clubs, and all day breakfasts, with many praising the poutines as among the best in town and the smoked meat as tender and flavorful. Breakfast highlights include eggs Benedict twists and big plates of breakfast staples, while longtime diners enjoy the familiar, no frills service, fast and friendly when busy. The atmosphere is described as nostalgic, cozy, and unpretentious, though the space can be noisy and booths may feel cramped, and a few reviews note slow service or variability during peak times and occasional inconsistencies in taste. Still, Greenspot is repeatedly praised for its approachable price point, consistent comfort food, and the sense of stepping back in time, making it a dependable go-to for satisfying meals that hit the spot and satisfy cravings for a classic diner experience.
Oh yeaah so this review might not help much lol but eh if yall are craving pizza & a damn heavy cheesy cheese pizza or pepperoni or even a meat lover this is yo spot after a night of heavy partying or evening strolling through the city & your tummy looking to be full, this is the right spot. Of course, they not only have pizza, but definitely other items are on the menu. Burgers with fries, sandwiches, shakes, breakfast. It's all there. Hit them up for a morning or lunch or dinner dine in.
Great spot in St Henri, I always have breakfast here at least once while visiting Montreal. Love the old world feel to the place & the food is good & plenty. Service not the best but you get your food quickly & it's tasty.

A Montreal institution. You like greasy spoons, a good sized breakfast, this is your spot. Service is fast even though this place is almost always packed. Fair prices, & I love the hash browns here.
A trip in the past with the same food & atmosphere. Basic,no frills, authentic & well done food. The waitresses are professionals & enjoy what they are doing. Family , friendly feel with several regular customers. From the traditional egg & bacon to the poutine, steak & fish & chips. Opened most of the day. I love this place. Their breakfast potatoes, bacon are perfectly cooked. One of my favorite spot in Montreal.

Came here for breakfast. It was relatively early on a Sunday so there was plenty of free street parking & also no lineup to get a table. Service was great & the waitress was very quick & attentive. The food is priced very competitively & tasted descent. The kids menu pancake was somewhat thick to our taste. The decor is like a classic diner & I think they should keep it this way. All in all, great experience & one of the hidden gems in Montreal.
Brought my kids here on a visit from Ontario. Service was absolutely excellent. My girls had orders of french toast & pancakes with syrup. Finished it off with vanilla milkshakes. Grown ups at the table very much enjoyed the bottomless coffees with breakfast, which were quickly & generously refilled. There is nowhere better for breakfast in any city I've visited. Thank you.

A full rich vintage 60's style restaurant atmosphere This place is awesome no doubt about it Will return there many times The staff is very friendly & warm welcoming Author enjoyed their classic breakfast of sausage & eggs Recommend this place you will not be dissapointed A Montreal iconic place Norman
Best poutine in the world. The smoked meat is excellent. The fries are some of the best in the univers. Club sandwich is 5 stars. Breakfast is the best in the city. Be careful, this place becomes addictive very quickly.
I've been here for breakfast food & it was quite good, but in the night time the food is often just not good. The fries are clearly defrosted costco fries, the gravy is from powder. If they would at least make their own fries that would go a long way to making the whole restaurant a lot better given that half the menu is literally based around French fries.
