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!

I heard about this place for a while & decided finally to give it a try. We were really hungry so we opted for the smoke meat & the pizza. Surprisingly ,the person in the phone didn't ask what cut for the Smoked Meat we wanted, the sandwich was ok, nonetheless. The pizza itself was a little bit too salty. We are not sure if we will be back
Got the smoked meat sandwich & the grilled salmon. There's 2 for the price of 1 on beer 🍻 during happy hours. The food was amazing ! Will be back again.
