Poutine au smoked meat avec supplément bacon & onion rings
Le Greenspot est un véritable classique à Montréal. Réputé pour ses nombreuses poutines & son excellent smoked meat, il fallait absolument que je l'essaie. L'endroit a énormément de charme, avec un décor de diner rétro qui ajoute vraiment à l'expérience.
La poutine est excellente : les frites sont bien croustillantes, la sauce est savoureuse, le fromage en grains est généreux, & le smoked meat est parfaitement tendre. Le supplément de bacon & d'onion rings apporte une touche gourmande qui vaut le détour.
Je recommande vivement cette adresse. Le Greenspot fait désormais partie de mes poutines préférées à Montréal.
Petit plus : il est assez facile de se stationner à proximité. L'établissement est aussi facilement accessible à vélo en longeant le canal de Lachine ou en métro.
Je donne 3 étoiles à leur poutine. Elle est ben correct mais pas particulièrement impressionnante & je suis difficile ! Le fromage est relativement frais & il essaie fort de squick un peu avec un peu de difficulté, la sauce est pas pire & les frites sont correctes mais sans plus.
Nourriture & service vraiment merdique. Je ne comprends pas les gens dans les commentaires qui disent que c'est la meilleure poutine de Montréal… La serveuse était vraiment nonchalante. Mon mari & moi avons pris une poutine, la sauce goutait le brulé, & les frittes n'étaient pas bonne, viande hachée sec & smoked meat rempli de gras. En général, pas une bonne expérience. J'ai l'impression que les gens vont là simplement pour l'ambiance & la nostalgie du restaurant.

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.
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...
Best poutine hands down in Montreal!!!
I have come here the entirety of my studies for a hearty meal after long hours at the library, & they never disappoint.
The preparation is quick, the meal is warm & delicious, & they don't hesitate to go heavy on the cheese & the sauce.
I particularly like the Bonheur D'Occasion, it is my favorite by far. I highly recommend for those who want a twist on the classic but do not eat meat!
Lovely people, lovely food, lovely place. Great for a dinner between friends or family to warm up from the winter.
I tried the Le Florentine breakfast dish at Greenspot & it was absolutely delicious! This twist on classic eggs Benedict features perfectly poached eggs on toasted English muffins, topped with creamy hollandaise sauce & fresh sautéed spinach. The eggs were cooked just right-silky yolks that oozed over the dish-& the spinach added a nice earthy flavor that balanced the richness of the hollandaise.
The side of crispy breakfast potatoes was seasoned well & complemented the dish perfectly. The portion was generous, leaving me fully satisfied without feeling overly stuffed. The coffee was fresh & robust, rounding out the meal nicely.
Service was quick & friendly, even during the busy breakfast rush. The cozy, casual atmosphere made it a great spot to start the day. If you're a fan of eggs Benedict or just looking for a hearty breakfast, Greenspot's is the spot.
I took a friend there last night. He ordered spaghetti & meat sauce. He told me there was a lot more meat sauce than spaghetti. I mentioned it to the waiter, he offered to bring more spaghetti. He did & we said thank you. Lo & behold there's an extra charge on the bill.
The waiter did not mention there would be an extra charge, asked him to remove it. Came back, gave me the same bill. I asked to see the manager. He came over & suggested that my friend was lucky, that they probably put extra sauce so it only looked like not enough spaghetti. I informed him that I'm not paying extra, because the waiter never mentioned about extra charge. So after the blah blah, they removed the charge
Hey, I'm not saying that the customer is always right, but in this case I thought the situation was ridiculous. No desire to return to this joint. They have a lot of customers, so I guess they don't care if they turn some off every now & then with their pettiness.
