Greenspot

As a longtime Southwest resident, this has to be one of the best restaurants in the area. It may not be'trendy/instagrammable' (to be fair, it's an old school style of restaurant) but you can always count on Green Spot to get something comforting & fufilling at a decent price.

Their poutine is great. & I highly recommend their'Special hotdog' (Fries inside the hotdog)

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!

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.

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!

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 poutine was fantastic. The French fries were very crispy & the gravy was hearty & meaty. The smoked meat on top was excellent too.
