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.
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👍👍
Très bon smashburger, jamais déçu a chaque fois que j'y vais, le partenariat avec Bernie Beigne était surprenant mais intense & très goûtu! Le service est impeccable!
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
Looking for a great smash burger? Look nowhere else. This an amazing burger, warm, melt cheese with excellent beef & a great pairing bun. Very recommended. Service was also great.

I'm gonna be honest, it's doesn't get much better than this. Best smash burger in Montreal with real potato. I love this place. Yann of the owner is a gem! Always making sure quality is beyond anyone expectations! This a 5 stars!!!!
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.

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.
