Review Summary

Greenspot is widely regarded as a quintessential Montreal institution, celebrated for its nostalgic, vintage diner atmosphere and reliable comfort food. Many guests praise the restaurant for its generous portions, particularly its signature poutine, smoked meat sandwiches, and diverse menu options that cater to various cravings. While the majority of visitors highlight the fast service and friendly staff as key components of their positive experience, others note that the dining environment can be busy and occasionally inconsistent in terms of service attentiveness. Despite some mixed feedback regarding specific dish preparations or wait times during peak hours, most patrons view the establishment as an authentic, reasonably priced local staple that successfully captures the charm of a classic greasy spoon.

I went to Greenspot last week for lunch. The place wasn't too crowded, the service was fast even tho a waiter forgot about me once & the plate was huge. I ordered the club sandwich which came with a LOT of fries, a cup of gravy, a nice portion of coleslaw along with a slice of pickle & marinated red pepper. The club sandwich was big, had lots of chicken, tomatoes, good lettuce & crispy bacon. My only complaint about the dish is that there wasn't enough mayo in the cup they gave me for the whole thing so at the end I was dipping the sandwich in the gravy. Oh & the meal came with a good chicken & noodles soup along with a coffee & dessert. I didn't have the dessert because I was very full after the soup & the meal. A first good experience.

Super cool & old-school, I would say this is the best poutine in Montreal. I highly recommend the St. Henry Witch, which comes with pieces of steak. One important thing that caught my eye is that their fries are not soggy & are real fries, not the pre-made ones.

Oldies but goodies. Like traveling in a time machine almost 80 years back to the past - 1947. Food was good, comes with a healthy & delicious Greek salad. Had lamb cotelettes it was good, & the fanta drink was fantastic. Side note, they have some sort of old school jukebox at the tables not sure if it works, I thought it was a toaster at first sight.

This is a wonderful place to have classic Québécois comfort food in an authentic diner that reminds you of the 50's, including the little juke boxes at every table, the booth style seats, paper place mats & fountain drinks. The food is simple but very good, the prices are reasonable & the small staff do their best to please everyone. It is what it is & it does it well.
