Greenspot comes across as a quintessential Montreal diner, celebrated for smoked meat sandwiches and legendary poutine, with generous portions and fast, friendly service, and a nostalgic retro vibe that keeps customers coming back for comforting, affordable classics, while some reviews note variations in poutine quality and occasional service hiccups, yet the overall impression is that Greenspot is an institution delivering reliable comfort food and an unpretentious, homey dining experience.
Finally tried out Greenspot Restaurant, an old school diner institution, known for their breakfast & poutine. - The house combo ($16.25) - smoked meat, crepe, bacon, ham, sausage, beans, toast & hash browns. Nothing memorable, heavy - Grilled cheese ($7.45) - meh. Skip it - 2 eggs with ham ($11.25) - standard fare - BLT with egg & cheese ($10.75)
Typically, we visit the green spot for breakfast. However, on this visit we chose to go for lunch. I'm not sure if everyone's trying to make up for losses during covid, but to charge $9.75 for a BLT sandwich on White bread is just a bit excessive considering the majority of the sandwich was a large hunk of iceberg lettuce & 2 slices of bacon. Additionally, to charge $9.75 for a mini Poutine seems also a bit over the top.
This is the spot for a great Montreal Poutine. The best gravy in town! Sandwiches are great too, I usually take the smoked meat sandwich. Service is pretty good (although a bit slow at times because it's always super busy!) & the vibe is awesome! It takes you back to the good old days. Totally recommend.
The best diner in Le Sud-Ouest! Potentially the world . The Poutine is the best value / taste, although i hear the sandwhiches are pretty good as well. Lotta memories at the Greenspot.
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.

Classic Québécois diner serving wonderful poutine (27 varieties) & smoked meat sandwiches among other classic diner eats. The Classique is a perfect poutine with dark rich gravy & perfectly squeaky cheese curds. Best gravy in town. I would recommend the medium smoked meat sandwich also. A must visit when in Montréal.
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.
J ai mangé un hamburger avec une boulette calcinée La poutine n était pas mangeable Frite mal cuite , la sauce était gluante & mauvais goût Je suis très déçus Donc petite poutine & hamburger Avec taxes & tissus = $ 23.00
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.
The poutine was good, don't think it's even near the best in Montreal but it was good. Service was subpar, the lady serving me was great but not so much the manager/owner of the restaurant.

This is the spot to go for happy hour, after hours, any hours - diner flare & excellent service; more poutine options than Banquise, & a better gravy, too
My buddy who grew up here took me to this charming old school diner & I'm sure glad he did. I ordered the smoked meat platter with loose bread & the chop chop poutine. have had smoked meats around Montreal & New York & I'd have to say this one blew all the other ones out of the park. The meat was so juicy, moist & had an incredible Smokey flavor. The poutine was also fantastic. I ended up coming back here a second time before leaving Montreal to get another smoked meat fix.
