Greenspot comes across as a quintessential Montreal diner, celebrated for smoked meat sandwiches and legendary poutine, with generous portions and fast, friendly service, and a nostalgic retro vibe that keeps customers coming back for comforting, affordable classics, while some reviews note variations in poutine quality and occasional service hiccups, yet the overall impression is that Greenspot is an institution delivering reliable comfort food and an unpretentious, homey dining experience.
Absolute gem of a place, makes you feel like you've gone back in time. This is a classic diner with quick & excellent service. The smoked meat was fantastic & the overall experience was wonderful.
Un vrai retour dans le passé, l'ambiance semble figer dans les restaurants des années 80 pour ce qui est de la nourriture, il ne faut pas avoir de grandes attentes
10/10 this place - it's like going back in time which is beautiful. Please never change. Wonderful efficient friendly staff & excellent food at a good price.
Je commande deux poutines large j'en reçois une petite & une grande. La madame a l'appareil me dit qu'ils ont très sûrement fait l'erreur mais qui peuvent rien faire…….
An absolute staple for classic Montreal fare! This old-fashioned diner has been serving authentic eats for decades; just stepping inside the restaurant transports you to a far simpler world.
We got the classic smoked meat sandwiches & the poutine. The soft bread is loaded to the brim with super tender & flavorful smoked meat & accompanied by tangy mustard. If you're visiting Montreal for the first time, smoked meat is definitely a must-try food, & Greenspot did it justice. Their famous poutine was fun & tasty as well. We got the small size, which was still plenty to share between two people. Despite being drenched in the hearty gravy, the thick-cut fries remained very crispy. The cheese curds had the right amount of'squeakiness' every Canadian is looking for & made for a delightful eating experience. You can't go to Quebec & not try poutine. The combination of fries, gravy, & cheese seems simple yet is surprisingly layered with the contrasting textures.
Greenspot is the spot for an unassuming, undeniably wonderful meal!
Première visite, suggestion de mon fils car je lui avait mentionné que j'aimerais bien manger de la poutine. Je fus agréablement surpris en mangeant une poutine accompagné de morceaux de Smoke Meat, délicieuse avec leur sauce brune bien à eux.
Un Fast Food haut la coche...
I only had a few bites of my poutine as the fries were horrible, undercooked & possibly old. None of the waitresses, despite seeing my almost untouched plate, even bothered to ask for feedback. Sadly, this is a dying institution.
Good authentic diner wither simple diner vibes, laidback, don't expect anything fancy (don't come up with intolerances but there are options for all) but real & genuine people coming in & out for the simple food, not the place to chill for hours. Service is fast & the food is good. I prefer breakfasts in general but they do have a mean poutine that will scare away a 5 days old hangover & smoked meet is good.
