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.

Viemos conhecer esse tradicional restaurante em Montreal. Atendimento rápido e muito simpático. Conheci a cerveja Boreale Rousse e adorei. O sanduíche smokedmeat estava delicioso. Adoro comer poutine e o deles também estava ótimo. Acho que vale a pena e, com certeza voltaremos.

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.

I found this to be very Overrated, sorry!
The poutine wasn't great, it was almost bad - & service was slow. I wouldn't return. I was disappointed.

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.

Le restaurant est resté bloqué dans le temps & c'est ce qui fait son charme ! Meme si ça reste un peu bruyant, le service était très agréable !
Nous avons apprécié notre visite !
La poutine était une des meilleures que j'ai mangé jusqu'à présent 😊
