It’s fast food, but made to order. The result of a late-night chat, and a handful of cooks. Who wanted to put the salt back in the butter. A bag of cheese curds that goes with supper. Assembled hot dogs, made proper. And fine toppings on a beautiful burger. But! You must order from the counter, and get up again when it’s ready to gather, except on weekends, and only for coffee (maybe with sugar). Prepared like it was meant to be, no fodder. You can arrive here hither or thither, it really doesn’t matter. Even better. Tous, chez Tousignant.
Chez Tousignant comes across in reviews as a nostalgic Montreal casse-croute with a retro diner vibe where burgers are the centerpiece, the double cheese burger and house-made hot dogs along with a standout poutine drawing frequent praise. The buns are described as soft, the fries well made, and the in-house sausages give a distinct flavor to the hot dogs. Burgers are often called juicy and well balanced, with the texture of the patties and the overall flavor a highlight, though several comments mention portions that feel small and toppings that can be overly saucy. Prices are a recurring topic, with many noting that the food is tasty but pricey for what is offered and some saying value can be inconsistent. Service is described as friendly and efficient by many, but a few reviews report uneven attitudes or longer waits, affecting the overall experience. Taken together, the reviews present a popular destination for burger and poutine lovers who value nostalgia and quality ingredients, while reminding potential visitors to consider price and occasional variability in portion size or execution.
Un classique des burgers a Montréal nous y sommes allés en plein rush & pourtant nous n'avons même pas attendu 5 minutes notre commande ! Les burgers sont simples mais savoureux & juteux ! Les frites sont dans mes favorites à Montréal.

66$ pour deux poutines ordinaires, trois hot-dogs, un chese-burger & deux boissons gazeuses... C'est du vol pur & simple! Les poutines étaient "mangeables", sans plus & le chese-burger était assez bon... Le décor vintage est très agréable, cependant! Le personnel est aimable... Je suis content de l'avoir essayé mais je n'y retournerai pas.
3 étoiles au final Pourtant l'accueil est très agréable, l'ambiance reposante, je précise que le jour de ma visite à 11h45 il n'y avait pas beaucoup de monde... J'ai apprécié que la musique ne soit pas trop forte & les toilettes propres 😃 En fait le seul problème, pour moi, se situe au niveau de la viande... Bien trop cuite !!! J' ai du mal à comprendre... J' ai même attendu une deuxième visite pour donner un avis. Pourquoi faire une boulette aussi cuite ? Pour des questions de salubrité ? Pourtant chez Burger De ville où Mr Steer on peut choisir son niveau de cuisson ! Vraiment dommage... Les frites sont bonnes par contre, même si mon invité les aurais préféré plus croustillantes, question de goût... & finalement, l'addition : 30$ pour 1 burger, 1 Cheese burger, 1 frite & un jus d'orange !!!
These are true smash burgers. The way they smash the patty & get little crispy bits on the edge of it, mmmm so tasty. I’m gluten sensitive but still had some bites with the bun. Soft, & light bun. It’s more of a vessel than bun. The fries are to die for. No need to order them crispy, as they come PERFECT!

No idea why Tousignant isn’t rated higher! Locally recommended smash burger diner, known for burgers (of course) & their hot dogs. Simple menu, well executed with a causal jazz tunes playing in the background.
Very short waiting time ~5mins for x2 cheese burgers & poutine.
What’s more to ask?
My favourite burger joint in Montreal. The patties are crispy & juicy, perfectly toasted bun, toppings complement the beefiness of the meat. I always get the double cheese but I mistakenly ordered the wrong item yesterday. The very friendly & warm staff promptly made generous accommodations for me & made sure that I enjoyed my meal. Very grateful & glad I came here for the last meal in Montreal on this trip. Looking forward to returning again!
