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.

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.
Service & Atmosphere were great. Parking is the worst in this area. Heard this was one of the best spots in MTL for poutine sadly It's not….but the Hotdogs are great & the smoked meat was good. Avoid the chicken souvlaki, bland rice & underdressed salad & overcooked chicken. For a Greek diner I expected better. Poutine was mid, tasted more like Ontario style, bland & curds while plentiful were not squeaky. Great atmosphere & again amazing service. This spot is def best for Steamés & probably awesome for breakfast. The fountain coke is super good at this place.
Been coming to this spot my whole life in MTL !! I'm a regular here the food is always the same definitely the best spot in that area for burgers & hot dogs breakfast is always good & prices stay low unlike other spots!
Bel endroit tout du moins pour l'ambiance , sentiment d'appartenance au St Henri, ce restaurant est un inratable du quartier .
Seulement voilà , très malade juste apres y avoir mangé !! Bien dommage, hot dog 6,55$ & milkshake 6$50 ont eu raison de moi !
Si on s attarde sur les assiettes , le hot dog est servi avec une portion de frites ( les miennes avaient clairement pris de l'âge & n'étaient pas bonnes ) il pourrait être mieux rangé dans le plat .
La poutine enfant avait aussi des vieilles frites & un fond de sauce un peu noir.
La sauce des spaghettis du menu enfant n'est pas faite maison alors qu'on y sert des pizzas à la base de sauce tomate.
Par contre l'assiette soulvaky était fraîche & bonne 23$.
En résumé peu d'effort sur les petites assiettes mais il y en a sur les grandes .
Clairement un problème de fraîcheur dans mon repas.
& c est désolant de sentir ce laisse aller car si le coeur y était ça serait un restaurant bon marché où se retrouver très souvent , avec une ambiance d'antan & un super service à table !

We had hot dogs, pepperoni poutine, smoked meat sandwich & a sub sandwich.
The sub sandwich took forever forever forever to come - the waitress apologized twice for the delay - so I wouldn't recommend ordering - it's just a big smoked meat sandwich anyway.
The smoke meat sandwich is deceptively small - the bread is like a fig leaf on the meat. Eat one for lunch & you don't need dinner. The meat was delicious & tender. Recommend.
The pepperoini poutine was really good. Very generous portions.
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!)
Problem is this has always been mid tier food. That was the selling point. ,3$ a hot dog & 15$ poutine for very mid food that should be cheap. Not cool anymore. Fries are soggy, sauce is the powder, & barly curds

My brother went to Green Spot today. There was a guy in there asking for money from customers. He smelled like alcohol. One of the workers said to the itinerant'Are you hungry? I'll give you two hot dogs & a fry.. you want all dressed?''
My brother paid $23.00 for his take out meal plus tip but he was bothered by this stinking beggar while he waited for his order. But the workers there feed for free the beggars - they care more about the beggars than paying customers .
J'en ai beaucoup entendu parler en bien. La poutine est bonne & est une bonne portion. Le milkshake est bon aussi. L'ambiance cantine est vraiment réussie & les hot dogs sont à la hauteur.
Sadly there just 2 slow , eels like a deli but serving wise way to slow. I expect to get my food inside 10 to 15min, 10 minutes in no one still dint take my order , I hade to walk to & ask I am suppose to put my order in at counter or someone will come in serv me? Told myselft let's not eat, so I decide to leave but get 2 hotdogs 2 go, been waithing 15 min & still no hotdogs.. 15$ btw.
Went in for a poutine, got poutine, I had no prior experience on it so I guess it was good & perfect but just not for me. Service was great, the atmosphere was really an authentic diner experience so highly recommend if you like that. Nathans hotdogs looked delicious & one member of our group spoke highly of them. Wine/beer selection was a bit small but I guess they arent the main attraction there.
