The poutine was fantastic. The French fries were very crispy & the gravy was hearty & meaty. The smoked meat on top was excellent too.

The food & service here was wonderful, the lady who serviced us was extremely friendly.
I felt unfortunately pushed to write this in the review hoping that the managing staff will see this as our experience was ruined by the tall, blonde young man working there who was having an extremely disgusting & sexually inappropriate conversation about women with a friend who was waiting for him to finish his shift. A huge lack of awareness to all of the uncomfortable patrons around the pair, I did not intervene whilst we were there but instead decided to leave & write this hoping that it will be escalated appropriately. In 2025 it is not okay to have these conversations, especially in the work place.

A North American style diner restaurant. As if Woolworth counter married a Coney Island. Food & portions taste great, & the prices were just right. Service was fast & friendly, too. Located just 100 feet from Atwater Market & the Lachine Canal.

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.

If you are looking for comfort food, this is the place! Fries are really good!

Greenspot is an institution & the brunch always slaps. The vibes are great for a classic diner, & the service is usually very quick. The fruits are fresh & the service is friendly. Waffles recipe has changed & they are now sweet Belgian waffles (not to my preference but objectively delicious if you like those). Would recommend to anyone visiting Montreal, or any locals who haven't swung by in a while. You won't be disappointed!

I took a friend there last night. He ordered spaghetti & meat sauce. He told me there was a lot more meat sauce than spaghetti. I mentioned it to the waiter, he offered to bring more spaghetti. He did & we said thank you. Lo & behold there's an extra charge on the bill.
The waiter did not mention there would be an extra charge, asked him to remove it. Came back, gave me the same bill. I asked to see the manager. He came over & suggested that my friend was lucky, that they probably put extra sauce so it only looked like not enough spaghetti. I informed him that I'm not paying extra, because the waiter never mentioned about extra charge. So after the blah blah, they removed the charge
Hey, I'm not saying that the customer is always right, but in this case I thought the situation was ridiculous. No desire to return to this joint. They have a lot of customers, so I guess they don't care if they turn some off every now & then with their pettiness.

Great example of a local casse-croûte. The place is clean & more inviting than your typical late night food joint. Service is quick.
I can't comment on all their food, but their poutine is one of the best in town. Dark flavorful gravy, good cheese ratio, solid fries. The base poutine is solid, but the more loaded ones are where Greenspot shines.
A Montreal institution, don't hesitate to visit.

Great service & food. Went here for breakfast with friends visiting from out of town. They loved the experience & the poutine they got with bacon, sausage was great.
Rici
A Montreal institution!
We go for poutine, steamies (steamed hot dog, if you were wondering) & other greasy food because let's face it, sometimes, that is all you want & all that matters.
Generous poutine with gravely hot gravy, thick brown fries accompanied with cheese curds that makes you squeek over for more. Lots of variety for toppings. Our fav: anything sausage & ground beef.
Love their steamy. Comes hot & moist but sausage is still firm & not in a wet bun.
Steamie fun fact:
'All dressed' = mustard, relish, onions, coleslaw (no ketchup!)
'All dressed ketchup' = all-dressed + ketchup

Problem is this has always been mid tier food. That was the selling point. ,3$ a hotdog & 15$ poutine for very mid food that should be cheap. Not cool anymore. Fries are soggy, sauce is the powder, & barly curds
Dan
One of the last good classic diners in Montreal. The service is friendly & fast, the food is tasty & cheap.

Upon tried this resto after friend referred me, was greatly disappointed that my 14" Steak on Steak sous-marin was mainly all salad & tomatoes; where was the beef & cheese? Certainly not worth $18.xx plus tax.
Marc
This is a great spot for a quick dine in ! The staff is friendly, the service is quick, & the prices are very reasonable. I always get the steak & fries, the salads & desserts are also very good ! It has a cute retro vibe, it feels like your transported to a different time, right here in the city !
John
The driest Italian poutine I have ever tasted. The sauce was so dry that it could not penetrate the fries or cheese. Basically very poor quality & taste.

I went to Greenspot last week for lunch. The place wasn't too crowded, the service was fast even tho a waiter forgot about me once & the plate was huge. I ordered the club sandwich which came with a LOT of fries, a cup of gravy, a nice portion of coleslaw along with a slice of pickle & marinated red pepper. The club sandwich was big, had lots of chicken, tomatoes, good lettuce & crispy bacon. My only complaint about the dish is that there wasn't enough mayo in the cup they gave me for the whole thing so at the end I was dipping the sandwich in the gravy. Oh & the meal came with a good chicken & noodles soup along with a coffee & dessert. I didn't have the dessert because I was very full after the soup & the meal. A first good experience.

Super cool & old-school, I would say this is the best poutine in Montreal. I highly recommend the St. Henry Witch, which comes with pieces of steak. One important thing that caught my eye is that their fries are not soggy & are real fries, not the pre-made ones.
Brandon
Very nice vibe & staff is super friendly. Food was great! Gonna come back for sure 😊
