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.

En général, la nourriture est bonne mais je dois être l'une des seules qui n'aime pas leur poutine. Les fois que j'ai commandé, il n'y avait pratiquement aucune sauce. Les frites étaient sèches. Seules 9-10 frites avaient de la sauce. C'est dommage. J'ai mangé le fromage & jeté le reste.

As a longtime Southwest resident, this has to be one of the best restaurants in the area. It may not be'trendy/instagrammable' (to be fair, it's an old school style of restaurant) but you can always count on Green Spot to get something comforting & fufilling at a decent price.

Their poutine is great. & I highly recommend their'Special hotdog' (Fries inside the hotdog)

Reconnus pour ses hotdogs. Mais un menu table d'hôte intéressant est proposé. Tout est bon. Perso je n'aime pas leur sauce a poutine.

Je commande deux poutines large j'en reçois une petite & une grande. La madame a l'appareil me dit qu'ils ont très sûrement fait l'erreur mais qui peuvent rien faire…….

An absolute staple for classic Montreal fare! This old-fashioned diner has been serving authentic eats for decades; just stepping inside the restaurant transports you to a far simpler world.
We got the classic smoked meat sandwiches & the poutine. The soft bread is loaded to the brim with super tender & flavorful smoked meat & accompanied by tangy mustard. If you're visiting Montreal for the first time, smoked meat is definitely a must-try food, & Greenspot did it justice. Their famous poutine was fun & tasty as well. We got the small size, which was still plenty to share between two people. Despite being drenched in the hearty gravy, the thick-cut fries remained very crispy. The cheese curds had the right amount of'squeakiness' every Canadian is looking for & made for a delightful eating experience. You can't go to Quebec & not try poutine. The combination of fries, gravy, & cheese seems simple yet is surprisingly layered with the contrasting textures.
Greenspot is the spot for an unassuming, undeniably wonderful meal!

Première visite, suggestion de mon fils car je lui avait mentionné que j'aimerais bien manger de la poutine. Je fus agréablement surpris en mangeant une poutine accompagné de morceaux de Smoke Meat, délicieuse avec leur sauce brune bien à eux.
Un Fast Food haut la coche...

I only had a few bites of my poutine as the fries were horrible, undercooked & possibly old. None of the waitresses, despite seeing my almost untouched plate, even bothered to ask for feedback. Sadly, this is a dying institution.

Good authentic diner wither simple diner vibes, laidback, don't expect anything fancy (don't come up with intolerances but there are options for all) but real & genuine people coming in & out for the simple food, not the place to chill for hours. Service is fast & the food is good. I prefer breakfasts in general but they do have a mean poutine that will scare away a 5 days old hangover & smoked meet is good.
