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.
Came here for breakfast. It was relatively early on a Sunday so there was plenty of free street parking & also no lineup to get a table. Service was great & the waitress was very quick & attentive. The food is priced very competitively & tasted descent. The kids menu pancake was somewhat thick to our taste. The decor is like a classic diner & I think they should keep it this way. All in all, great experience & one of the hidden gems in Montreal.
BEST DINER ON EARTH. Their smoked meat spaghetti is one of my favourite comfort foods. I went there every week when I lived in montreal. One of the best places in the world. So special. May it live forever!
I love the look of this place, a classic diner with old jukeboxes & booths. Limited gluten-free options but the server bent over backwards to find me options. Ended up with a cheeseburger lettuce wrap & fries which were both delicious! My friends had poutines & they both loved it too. I recommend stopping in when you are in Montreal.
I've been going there for years.Friendly & very efficient!They obviously are true survivors.They were there when hot dogs were fifteen cents.Guessing 75 to 80years ago.Club sandwich hands down best in Montreal & there fries too.Jimmy in the front gives great service,& is always very pleasant.Good job guys!!!!Ps Jimmy who works in the front is the best.Always gives great service...
vous voulez un vrai restaurant "brun" ou "diner", typique & sympa? & bien, c'est exactement ça que vous allez obtenir. Très satisfait autant du service (rapide & cordial) que de la quantité & la qualité de la bouffe reçue. J'ai commandé une poutine au smoked meat, elle était bonne & mon ami a commandé l'assiette jumbo smoked meat & il en a eu pour son argent, c'était plutôt immense! en plus, il y avait un 2*1 sur la bière & ils ont des micros locales (belle gueule, cheval blanc, etc...).
Super soirée entre amis. On nous a mit en garde contre la "Routine" mais nous avons prit notre courage à deux mains & avons commandé la bête, c'était très bon. Burgers à moins de 10$ mais le reste est un peu che
