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.

Overall, their staff is awesome, & the food is always solid. I would say that it's a local classic for Poutine, it's a must try if you're here for the authentic Montreal experience. Most of my experiences have been great, if you're getting the poutine trust me you only need a small unless you're trying to feed a family or a small dinosaur. Also, some great Italian & Greek items on the menu..

Love the ambience. Think of it as 50s family-style diner. My friends love eating here & it was my first time coming here. Prices are reasonable & portion wise, pretty good. The chop-chop poutine wasn't too salty & the smoked meat was good. Carrot cake isn't too sweet, moist, but for those who are allergic to nuts, beware as they have walnuts!

What I ordered was small chop-chop poutine ($12.75 CAD approx) + carrot cake ($6.75 CAD approx) + coke ($3.75 CAD approx).

Highly recommend RSVP in advanced if coming in a bigger group, but recommend this place for family-style brunches & diners.

Une institution peut-être mais la poutine n'est pas bonne. Sèche & pas très savoureuse, juste le fromage est frais. Ça fait plusieurs fois que je donne une chance, chaque fois je me dis que ce sera la dernière...

Historic & charming diner with your typical fare: poutines (a whole menu of different ones), burgers, souvlaki, pizza, etc. Service is always great!

Precambrian poutine. I've lived in Montreal long enough to be misty over several now-long-gone places. So it's hard to be critical of a place that has weathered all of the changes & still feels like it's 1990. Unapologetic, unhealthy, unpretentious, ... &, appreciated for staying true to a working recipe. Carlos& Pepe's comes to mind as an example of a formerly perfect Montreal grub stop that tried to reinvent itself with catastrophic results. Green spot didn't try, & plows ahead, a living fossil in a sea of poke bowls & boba tea. Never change, Green spot!
