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.
Sans doute ma meilleure expérience culinaire à Montréal : dès qu'on entre, ça sent la viande fumée, on entend le bruit des steaks qui cuisent sur le grill. Les booths sont confortables & larges. Le service est avenant, très sympathique. Une carte très longue, des burgers, des sandwichs, des poutines, des plats grecs,... On s'est régalé, & on y est même revenu avant de prendre notre bus pour Toronto, juste pour y repasser 1h !
On a beaucoup aimé. Les poutines sont vraiment exquis pour le côté qualité & prix! Les frites maison sont croustillantes & la sauce qui a une belle épaisseur, n'abîme pas les frites! Les garnitures sont parfaites pour ce qu'on voulait essayer! Service amical & rapide. L'ambiance rétro nous a bien plu! Bonne continuation & bravo à toute l'équipe !

J'adore les déjeuners du Green Spot, il n'y a pas mieux en ville côté déjeuners américains classiques. Mais ça fait plusieurs fois que j'arrive avant 11h & qu'on me dit que les déjeuners sont terminés... 10h55, ou même 10h58, ce n'est pas 11h.
Les +: Restaurant au top, servis assez rapidement. Serveuse rien à dire. Hamburger super bon, Les - : Par contre les pizza ne sont vraiment pas bonne. Le jour & la nuit avec celle de France. Hot dog simple Très Peu de choix en dessert.
I really like the old-timey feel of this restaurant. Even though it tends to be quite busy on weekends you never have to wait for more than a few minutes. Their food is classic diner food, greasy, cheap, & delicious :) the waitstaff are friendly enough & the food arrives quite fast. Their poutines are a must try!
This restaurant is the best! Food & their prices are great! One issue though, was I was given an order that had onions. On the menu there was no mention of them. BUT, they redid my order & brought me a fresh & hot replacement (without onions, this time!) Decent place 😊👍 They even give food to the homeless!
Classic! Probably not much has changed since 1947!! Best poutine & chocolate shake in Montreal (.... who really compares?!) Check it out, mini juke boxes at tables! Haha
A full rich vintage 60's style restaurant atmosphere This place is awesome no doubt about it Will return there many times The staff is very friendly & warm welcoming Author enjoyed their classic breakfast of sausage & eggs Recommend this place you will not be dissapointed A Montreal iconic place Norman

Best poutine in the world. The smoked meat is excellent. The fries are some of the best in the univers. Club sandwich is 5 stars. Breakfast is the best in the city. Be careful, this place becomes addictive very quickly.
