Chez Tousignant Montreal Restaurant: Menu, Reviews & Reserve (2026)
Casse-Croute (Snack Bar)BurgersPoutineComfort Food
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.

Review Summary

Chez Tousignant is described as a retro Montreal casse croûte with a focused, small menu built around smash burgers, a few hot dogs and poutine, and everything made in house from the buns to the sausages, giving a warm, old school diner vibe. The burgers are repeatedly praised for juicy patties, good texture, and expert balance, with standout mentions for the double smash burger and the Tousignant burger with maple ham. The poutine is a frequent highlight, though a few reviewers note portions being small or the gravy more savory than salty, and some say the large size would be better shared. The hot dogs, especially when homemade, are a mixed bag but generally seen as solid, while fries earn compliments for crispness and flavor. The atmosphere is described as charming and casual with fast service and friendly staff, though a minority call out inconsistent or less enthusiastic service. Prices are often described as high for fast food, but many feel the quality and in house touches justify the premium and justify a visit, especially for those craving classic smash burgers and comfort food with a nostalgic edge. Overall, Chez Tousignant looms as a beloved pick for fans of unapologetic, well executed diner style burgers and poutine, even as some visits raise questions about value or consistency.

ALERTE 🚨 Banger Burger. Oubliez ce que vous savez, ou que vous croyez savoir sur les smash burger. Repartez de zéro. Leur burger devait être légalement interdit par la loi tellement il est addictif. Foncez-y. & en plus de ça le staff est aussi juicy que leur cuisine : 10/10.

Tried the double cheese burger. It was fine but expensive & in the end I didn't like it very much, it felt just like a brick of calories with no flavor contrast or texture contrast to me. Maybe all that cheese fusing the meat together didn't help. Maybe I'm just not really into smash burgers.

Montreal has some serious smash burgers game & I must say, Chez Tousignant, is a big player, had a double cheese burger & it did not disappoint at all, from the juicy perfectly seasoned patties to the home cut fries😀
Keep up the good work guys👍👍

One if the best smash burgers I've had in a long time. They are doing everything right. Recommend the Tousignant cheese burger. The fried are more than enough for two people. Great fast food near Jean Talon market

J'y suis allé en 2018, j'étais a l'époque convaincu d'avoir mangé le meilleur smash burger de Montréal. Un offre qui se rapprochais d'un burger de la chaîne in & out en Californie. Le rêve! J'y aurais donné un 5 étoiles a l'époque. Aujourd'hui victime de l'inflation & de la réduflation, leur offre est trop chère & la quantité trop petite pour leurs prix. Le goût est bon, mais la taille est franchement ridicule pour un double cheese burger. On le retrouve tout petit dans son papier, l'air triste. J'ai cherché le pain sous la galette tellement il était mince. Bien loin de mes souvenirs de 2018. Les ingrédients sont p-e de tres bonne qualité & le pain fait maison, mais cela ne justifie en aucun cas leur prix. On parle de fast food ici, & a 17$(14$+taxes) le double cheese petit qui n'inclus ni breuvage ni frites c'est a se demander si on nous ris pas en pleine face

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.

Best Smashburger & Hotdogs hands down! Staff was super helpful.

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?
