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.
I'm giving 5 ⭐️review because I love how this diner looks inside. a I love how they haven't changed anything . It's oozing nostalgia & the lady who picked up the phone on August 1 at around 9 PM at night was sweet. Old-school places like this are very comforting I love this place. Food amazing

This diner has my favorite souvlaki plates in the city. The meat & the tzatziki are so flavorful, & there is nowhere else nearby where you can get such a tasty & filling meal for these prices!!!
I'd say it was a good poutine! I've been told there are other good places but I'd say this is around a 4-4.5/5 Good service, free wifi, nice classic diner vibe & located close to atwater market!
I am still questioning the proportion of bread to meat in a sandwich, everywhere in Montreal. But no questions on the great flavors in this place. Chips could have been better (read crispy) but the meats made it all good. Stopped for a brunch on the Canada day & it was worth the drive. 100% recommended.
Très bon restaurant bien typé américain ou manger de très bonnes poutines, viande fumée ou sandwich club. Déco rétro. Très bon service & rapide. On a commandé deux grandes assiettes de poutine pour deux adultes & deux enfants, on a eu du mal à finir. Avec un sandwich de viande fumée & 4 boissons plus le tip de 15% nous avons payé 75$ & nous étions repus.
