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.
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👍👍
Excellent burger. Par contre le temps d'attente est hors norme! Plus de 30 minutes pour 1 burger take out ce n'est tout simplement pas acceptable. & ce à 3 visites toujours le même constat. À améliorer, car beaucoup potentiel…
Went for a lovely meal late night The place was beautiful. Looks like something from the 50s
burger was absolutely delicious. Poutine was outstanding even the hot dog was the best.
The only thing that I did not like was the attitude of the girl who was taking our order she was not happy. She made a very awful face like she was not happy doing her job or not happy serving us even to huff & puff very inappropriate & because of that I will not be returning again
all they have to say is when you have first time customers entering & they're asking questions about the food or asking for a accommodates
please don't be giving attitude, faces & huffing & puffing it's very unprofessional it is part of your job to serve people & give service
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!
Chez Tousignant is a popular destination for classic burgers that deserves all the fame & hype.
The short limited menu embodies all that a classic casse-croûte represents: simple, no-frills, unpretentious food done exceptionally well in a retro setting, all made in house from the burger buns to the hot dog sausages. The burgers are simple but juicy, flavorful, & freshly served hot between pillowy soft buns toasted just enough to keep its structural integrity. The quality & freshness of the food speak for themselves.
The prices may appear intimidating considering what is served, but don't let that deter you away from giving this place the attention it deserves.

Not good for big order. Forgot a lot of things in the order. The food is not bad but not incredible. The cabbage salad is dry & little. Expensive for the quantity of the product. Homemade French fries.
Simple & flavourful , they do a killer poutine , the poutine gravy must have chicken broth , sauce does not taste salty. & fries are great too. Don't miss it!
Aucun rapport de vendre un hot-dog normal à 7,25$ sans breuvage sans frite.
La poutine dite grosse est en fait au plus une moyenne.
20$ pour une poutine & un coke.
Les toilettes sont sales , les portes napkins sales....
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.
Une expérience en général était bonne, le service est très rapide & les employés sont aimables. Le Burger est un peu trop salé surtout la viande. Le hot dog n'a pas vraiment de saucisse de qualité & la poutine est bonne sans plus. N'essayez pas le milkshake à la vanille car il a le goût de l'eau, du moins celui que j'ai eu. Je recommande car c'est à essayer c'est bien mieux que la majorité des petites cantines.
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.
