Greenspot se présente comme un bistrot montréalais par excellence, reconnu pour ses sandwichs smoked meat et sa poutine légendaire, des portions généreuses, un service rapide et sympathique et une ambiance rétro qui donne l'impression d'etre chez soi, avec des prix raisonnables et une cuisine réconfortante; bien que quelques critiques portent sur la constance de la poutine ou sur le service, l'impression générale est celle d'une institution où l'on revient pour une expérience simple et authentique.
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.
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!

You know what you want & you're gonna get it here. It's classic, it hits the spot. Service can be hit or miss but just relax, enjoy the vibe & some top-tier casse croute grub.
This is such an amazing place! I have been here 3-4 times in the past year & had a good experience everytime. It is a classic diner. Reminds me of New York. Very cozy, home-like feeling. The food & service is great.
They also have some off-menu items but you have to ask. From the menu, every egg based item is great. The pancakes are also soft & fluffy. Every time I try something new & enjoy it.
I have only come here for breakfast or brunch. Never lunch or dinner so I have no idea what that is like.
The only small negative is that they do not take a reservation. So the wait time can sometimes be more than 15 minutes.
Best poutine hands down in Montreal!!!
I have come here the entirety of my studies for a hearty meal after long hours at the library, & they never disappoint.
The preparation is quick, the meal is warm & delicious, & they don't hesitate to go heavy on the cheese & the sauce.
I particularly like the Bonheur D'Occasion, it is my favorite by far. I highly recommend for those who want a twist on the classic but do not eat meat!
Lovely people, lovely food, lovely place. Great for a dinner between friends or family to warm up from the winter.
Classic greasy diner from the past. It's not perfect & it can't be because that is the charm. Small booths, faster servers & a hard working line cooks.

It's a classic dinner experience. I found the service to be excellent & the food & menu spot on. Had a great Western omel6, egg whites only & than was not a problem & came on a big plate & plenty items on the side.
It's a Montreal Classic ! Y'a ce côté dinner vintage classique qu'on ressent en entrant. Un endroit dont j'avais déjà entendu parlé, j'ai beaucoup aimé le vibe & l'ambiance. On a bien été accueilli même si ça a pris un petit temps pour être assis à une table. La bouffe était super bonne, la poutine délicieuse, le steak parfaitement cuit.. On va y revenir! Une adresse à garder!
Honestly as good as any casse-croûte/deli I've had over the year, these guys have been doing it up for almost 80 years strong & still killing it. We love @greenspot1947 so much they catered our midnight meal for our wedding. Truth be told I order wayyyyy to many steamies, but they were delicious, so worth it the rest we gave out late at night to the homeless 😉.
They have it all from traditional classics like the smokemeat sandwich & poutine, to souvlaki plates, pizzas & Pasta, they got something for each craving honestly. Nice spot that the decor hasn't changed in years & god whiling they keep it that way. It adds to the charm & history of a place like this!
I tried the Le Florentine breakfast dish at Greenspot & it was absolutely delicious! This twist on classic eggs Benedict features perfectly poached eggs on toasted English muffins, topped with creamy hollandaise sauce & fresh sautéed spinach. The eggs were cooked just right-silky yolks that oozed over the dish-& the spinach added a nice earthy flavor that balanced the richness of the hollandaise.
The side of crispy breakfast potatoes was seasoned well & complemented the dish perfectly. The portion was generous, leaving me fully satisfied without feeling overly stuffed. The coffee was fresh & robust, rounding out the meal nicely.
Service was quick & friendly, even during the busy breakfast rush. The cozy, casual atmosphere made it a great spot to start the day. If you're a fan of eggs Benedict or just looking for a hearty breakfast, Greenspot's is the spot.
