Greenspot est perçu comme une institution montréalaise au charme rétro, offrant une cuisine réconfortante de type casse croûte avec poutines généreuses, smoked meat et burgers, et des brunchs copieux à prix raisonnables. L'ambiance nostalgique et le service rapide et sympathique font partie du charme, même si le service peut être inégal et certains plats peuvent manquer de finesse ou de fraîcheur; l'absence de réservation et le bruit parfois élevé sont aussi mentionnés. La clientèle est fidèle et l'endroit est apprécié pour son accessibilité et son côté convivial, faisant de Greenspot une expérience authentique et abordable du diner classique où l'on retrouve les classiques de Montréal.
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.
I came in yesterday with my 2 kids & husband .We love this place ! The food was very good as always!!!But today we had our server (Yola) ,She insisted for us to take drinks but we didn't want to ,she looked at us with a weird look like we don't have money to spend…She proceeds to make us feel like she is on a hurry & wants us to leave for the next table to come eat I felt very uncomfortable by the way she was rushing us to pay & leave …She also was screaming on the nice gentleman that cleans tables .She then comes to us to tell us how annoying he is after we ask what was happening & was making fun of him I find it very unprofessional of her . I always come here sometimes alone & the nice gentleman (not sure of his name) always greet me with a beautiful smile ! He didn't deserve to be yelled at especially in front of customers .I hope the managers get this checked because it's not the first time I see her yell at other of her employees friend.

Friday nights. Dinner alone. Lots of people. Never alone. Staff is so nice. My go to for a burger & fries on a Friday night. Walking here from Lionel easy.
It was my first night on my first-ever trip to Montreal (back in November 2025), & a friend of mine back home (who is Montreal born & raised) highly recommended that I should go here for a bite to eat.
After getting checked into my hotel room earlier in the evening, I decided to make this my first stop.
After my server led me to a table by the TV, I ordered the St-Henri poutine & an orange pop. The food was served quicker than I expected (which is not a bad thing) & I then proceeded to do what many Montrealers must have done over many decades while in here, enjoy my poutine while watching the Montreal Canadiens on TV.... 😊😁
The food was fantastic, & Erin the server's attentiveness was great too.
All in all, a very enjoyable experience on my first night in Montreal!
This is a great quick & cheap spot to have some nice comfort food & enjoy an authentic dinner experience. The service was quick & friendly & the menu has a huge variety of options.
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.
The food & service here was wonderful, the lady who serviced us was extremely friendly.
I felt unfortunately pushed to write this in the review hoping that the managing staff will see this as our experience was ruined by the tall, blonde young man working there who was having an extremely disgusting & sexually inappropriate conversation about women with a friend who was waiting for him to finish his shift. A huge lack of awareness to all of the uncomfortable patrons around the pair, I did not intervene whilst we were there but instead decided to leave & write this hoping that it will be escalated appropriately. In 2025 it is not okay to have these conversations, especially in the work place.
A North American style diner restaurant. As if Woolworth counter married a Coney Island. Food & portions taste great, & the prices were just right. Service was fast & friendly, too. Located just 100 feet from Atwater Market & the Lachine Canal.
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.
The Green Spot Restaurant on Notre-Dame Street in Montreal is a beloved local institution that captures the charm of an old-school diner while delivering consistently satisfying comfort food. Stepping inside feels like stepping back in time - vinyl booths, checkered floors, & a friendly, bustling atmosphere that's been welcoming customers for decades.
The menu is hearty & straightforward, featuring all the classics: perfectly grilled burgers with crisp lettuce & juicy patties, golden fries, rich poutines, club sandwiches stacked high, & all-day breakfasts that hit the spot any time. Milkshakes & homemade desserts add a nostalgic touch, making the experience complete.
Service is quick, friendly, & refreshingly genuine, whether you're a regular or just passing through. Prices are reasonable, portions are generous, & the food arrives hot & fresh every time.
The Green Spot isn't about trends - it's about doing the basics right, with care & consistency. For anyone in Montreal looking for a reliable, photogenic slice of retro diner culture paired with great comfort food, it's a must-visit.

Greenspot is an institution & the brunch always slaps. The vibes are great for a classic diner, & the service is usually very quick. The fruits are fresh & the service is friendly. Waffles recipe has changed & they are now sweet Belgian waffles (not to my preference but objectively delicious if you like those). Would recommend to anyone visiting Montreal, or any locals who haven't swung by in a while. You won't be disappointed!
I took a friend there last night. He ordered spaghetti & meat sauce. He told me there was a lot more meat sauce than spaghetti. I mentioned it to the waiter, he offered to bring more spaghetti. He did & we said thank you. Lo & behold there's an extra charge on the bill.
The waiter did not mention there would be an extra charge, asked him to remove it. Came back, gave me the same bill. I asked to see the manager. He came over & suggested that my friend was lucky, that they probably put extra sauce so it only looked like not enough spaghetti. I informed him that I'm not paying extra, because the waiter never mentioned about extra charge. So after the blah blah, they removed the charge
Hey, I'm not saying that the customer is always right, but in this case I thought the situation was ridiculous. No desire to return to this joint. They have a lot of customers, so I guess they don't care if they turn some off every now & then with their pettiness.
Great example of a local casse-croûte. The place is clean & more inviting than your typical late night food joint. Service is quick.
I can't comment on all their food, but their poutine is one of the best in town. Dark flavorful gravy, good cheese ratio, solid fries. The base poutine is solid, but the more loaded ones are where Greenspot shines.
A Montreal institution, don't hesitate to visit.

Great service & food. Went here for breakfast with friends visiting from out of town. They loved the experience & the poutine they got with bacon, sausage was great.
A Montreal institution!
We go for poutine, steamies (steamed hot dog, if you were wondering) & other greasy food because let's face it, sometimes, that is all you want & all that matters.
Generous poutine with gravely hot gravy, thick brown fries accompanied with cheese curds that makes you squeek over for more. Lots of variety for toppings. Our fav: anything sausage & ground beef.
Love their steamy. Comes hot & moist but sausage is still firm & not in a wet bun.
Steamie fun fact:
'All dressed' = mustard, relish, onions, coleslaw (no ketchup!)
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
Upon tried this resto after friend referred me, was greatly disappointed that my 14" Steak on Steak sous-marin was mainly all salad & tomatoes; where was the beef & cheese? Certainly not worth $18.xx plus tax.
