Review Summary

Chez Tousignant is widely recognized for offering a high-end, nostalgic diner experience characterized by its quality smash burgers, house-made sausages, and popular poutine. While many patrons praise the fresh ingredients and the classic, retro atmosphere, experiences with service and consistency vary significantly among guests. Some diners view the establishment as a top-tier destination for comfort food in Montreal, while others express frustration regarding the higher price points, smaller portion sizes, and occasional inconsistencies in food preparation or staff professionalism.

Ouf, je suis revenu ce soir dimanche & j'ai été accueilli par une caissière avec un regard meurtrier. J'ai eu envie de lui demander pourquoi elle m'en voulait. Ensuite le double cheeseburger avait tellement de sel dans la viande que je me suis senti mal par la suite... C'est fini Tousignant; des employés malheureux & la bouffe dangereuse.

--- vieil avis :

De l'amour sous forme de nourriture. Bonne poutine, super ambiance de'diner' américain, bonne musique.

Le service est excellent & chaleureux.
L'espace est plutôt petite. Pas bcp de place.
Le cheeseburger est excellent avec leur sauce maison.
Par contre, c assez dispendieux. Je ne conseille pas d'y aller avec des enfants.

Un''Greasy Spoon'' à prix exhorbitants pour du plus qu'ordinaire !

L'alléchante photo du proprio est TRÈS loin du minable cheeseburger que j'ai reçu (voir ma photo) avec une mince boulette smash, une mince tranche de fromage rétrécie, de tomates & de laitue avec 3 minus tranches de cornichon avec un timide soupçon d'oignons... & une mayo presque inexistante. Pis ça ose facturer la TOTALE, soit 11$ + tx. Leur simple hot-dog ordinaire à 7$+ tx. Du vrai vol !

Y'a plein de restos''Geasy Spoon'' de qualité nettement supérieurs... mais c'est votre choix d'accepter l'arnaque de Tousignant !

This place has the feel of a rearranged American diner with small casse-croute focused menu. I was hungry enough for two items but wasn't feeling a poutine, so I went for a cheeseburger & a hot dog. The pricing here is sensible except for the hot dog, which wasn't particularly special either. The cheeseburger was spectacular, however. Amazing texture, perfect composition. Service wasn't great. The cook was nice but the girls working there could have been friendlier.

Premium old school dîner vibes where high quality well made food meet their higher than average asking prices.

Had the cheeseburger & poutine. Both were top of the line with no quality compromises.

Worth it for foodies & enjoyers of well made things.

So glad I got the Double Cheeseburger. Don't settle for single patty.
Buns - had the perfect texture/chew for the patties
Patties - crispy edges, juicy, beefy
Cheese, sauce, toppings all perfectly balanced
The seasoning tasted like a unique blend of spices - the secret ingredient that gave this burger depth.
Really good burger, will definitely return.

I came in with high expectations. They were not met. The food was okay. A decent cheeseburger (bread was mushy), a decent poutine (gravy seemed old) I wouldn't go out of my way to come here. There were no paper towels in the toilet. Overall, a generous 3 stars.

Went there for the first time. Tried the double cheese burger & the Tousignant burger. Both were very good sized considering smash burgers are often very small. Both were very satisfying but the double cheeseburger was a tad salty. Also tried the regular poutine & it was very good. Fries, cheese curds & gravy were well put together. Perfect ratios. Regular hot dog was good also but does not taste like a regular hot dog. I think the meat was chicken. I don't usually order hot dogs but wanted to try it. I wish they had onion rings. I would definitely go back as the food was very satisfying at a reasonable price & the quality of the ingredients was apparent. The service was also excellent & friendly.

A very convenient & nice restaurant right next to the Jean Talon Market. The poutine was amazing & the cheeseburgers were very good. Love the interior which has the diner vibe & very clean. They have a high hair which was very convenient but the entrance was not very accessible.

double cheeseburger: amazing with special sauce. Frites sauce also top notch. Poutines are a must try. Bonus to have a local beer as well!
