Greenspot emerges in reviews as a Montreal institution and a classic diner with a retro vibe, where hearty comfort food, generous portions, and reasonable prices draw locals and visitors alike. The menu consistently features poutine, smoked meat, burgers, steaks, clubs, and all day breakfasts, with many praising the poutines as among the best in town and the smoked meat as tender and flavorful. Breakfast highlights include eggs Benedict twists and big plates of breakfast staples, while longtime diners enjoy the familiar, no frills service, fast and friendly when busy. The atmosphere is described as nostalgic, cozy, and unpretentious, though the space can be noisy and booths may feel cramped, and a few reviews note slow service or variability during peak times and occasional inconsistencies in taste. Still, Greenspot is repeatedly praised for its approachable price point, consistent comfort food, and the sense of stepping back in time, making it a dependable go-to for satisfying meals that hit the spot and satisfy cravings for a classic diner experience.
Stumbled upon this place by accident after a show, the diner is super cute & very chill. The food is good (bussin even) & very fairly priced!! The staff was friendly even tho it was midnight. My new favorite after hours spot!!
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

Un arrêt dans le temps Pour ceux qui aiment les endroits figés dans le temps Service un peu long, ce jour là, ce qui veut pas dire que c est toujours comme ça
Oh yeaah so this review might not help much lol but eh if yall are craving pizza & a damn heavy cheesy cheese pizza or pepperoni or even a meat lover this is yo spot after a night of heavy partying or evening strolling through the city & your tummy looking to be full, this is the right spot. Of course, they not only have pizza, but definitely other items are on the menu. Burgers with fries, sandwiches, shakes, breakfast. It's all there. Hit them up for a morning or lunch or dinner dine in.
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.
I think this spot is timeless, the interior throw you back into the 60s, but with really good poutine !!! The prices are very reasonable & the staff very effective! I will come back!
