Classic Montreal style diner. You don't find them like this much anymore. Good pizza, sandwiches, & they have daily specials which are the best value in the area! Love their Greek food.
Love the food, I had a poutine which was up there one of the best I've had. Fries have to be real, not frozen, & they are.
My son had a club sandwich which was average, not bad, not special.
The place is so busy, the wait Sunday for lunch was long.
The people working there are friendly, or waitress was stellar.
Try this place but not Sunday for lunch😉.
My wife & I stopped by on a Monday a few minutes before 11:00 & just missed the breakfast menu that ended at 11:00.
Missing the breakfast menu my wife still ordered an Omlete that even from my side of the table looked very underwelming, as she dug in she lost her appetite & only ate less that 1/2 of her omlette simply because it tasted less than ordinary. Her plate came with french fries that were barely warm to the touch.
I on the other hand indulged on a 10' steak & smoked meat sub. Unfortunately there was so much oily dressing thats all I tasted, no taste to the steak & absolutely no taste to what little smoked meat was in my sandwich. It was so bad it was necessary to disect my sandwich & remove the top 1/2 of the bread wich was drenched in oil. I also ordered a side of french fries & simular to my wifes fries mine were also just warm to the touch.
On a brighter note our waitress was very nice & eagarly topped up our coffee's, her colleque host was also very friendly.
Unfortunately I dont know how this establishment has recieved so many positive recommendations, we will not be back!
& honestly, the overhaul condition & appearance of this place is old & has charm, however it doesnt mean the restaurant has to appear dirty, take a look at the filth of those old music selectors at each booth.
Other than staff, this place needs an overhaul!

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!
Normally this deserves a four-star review but the young waitress was so'real' that she made this a five-star experience. Trying to find good food in Montreal on a Monday night has become a real challenge & perhaps worse the good options seem to close earlier because business is just not that good. So tonight I decided that if I'm going to pay good money for bad food I might as well just have some deli type or fast food type of food. I went here & had a traditional Club sandwich & which were good but the great attitude of this young waitress that doesn't make the same money of all these high-flying places but deserves it much more because of her positive attitude, made this a great experience
Great diner, perfect smoked meat sandwich. Prices are a bit high, but what else is new for the area. went at 11am on a Saturday & got sat right away. Iconic place!
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!
