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.

Really busy restaurant. Food & service are great. The only bad thing is trying to get a parking spot in downtown Montreal.

I like the food here, however I visited this place on the 21st of April & was sick with food poisoning after eating their food. I ordered a mino-taur poutine & a maximus burger. From looking at other comments, it seems that people get sick from eating the bacon/ground beef. Please review your food safety & handling policies. Thanks, Chad

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.

Cozy place, waitress was chill, nice ambience & lots of quebecois style meals to pick from the menu. I'd come back again some other time.
