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.
Problem is this has always been mid tier food. That was the selling point. ,3$ a hot dog & 15$ poutine for very mid food that should be cheap. Not cool anymore. Fries are soggy, sauce is the powder, & barly curds
My brother went to Green Spot today. There was a guy in there asking for money from customers. He smelled like alcohol. One of the workers said to the itinerant'Are you hungry? I'll give you two hot dogs & a fry.. you want all dressed?''
My brother paid $23.00 for his take out meal plus tip but he was bothered by this stinking beggar while he waited for his order. But the workers there feed for free the beggars - they care more about the beggars than paying customers .

Here for a few days & was referred to this restaurant. The experience is one for the books & will definitely recommend it to anyone in town looking for comfort food! Our waiter Cody helped to make the experience pleasant. Food was great too! Bacon was cooked to perfection & the smoked meat was flavourful.
Nice service 👍
Good price👍
Very crowded
Very low quality steak sandwich.👎 You don't taste the meat, only taste was onion & onion juice.🥴
Not a good greek salad, just mixing sliced lettuce & tomato & cucumber without following a real recipe. 🫣
J'en ai beaucoup entendu parler en bien. La poutine est bonne & est une bonne portion. Le milkshake est bon aussi. L'ambiance cantine est vraiment réussie & les hot dogs sont à la hauteur.
Classic diner serving up all of the Quebecoise staples - steamies, poutines, subs, clubs & more. If you are a tourist & want an authentic taste of Montreal, this would be a great pick. Close to the metro so it's easy to get to even in the cold winters, with warming service to welcome you. The food is always prepared fast. This place is comfortable to dine in, perfect diner experience.
