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.
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!!!!

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.
C'était un de mes burgers préférés, pour y avoir mangé des dizaines de fois. Dommage que la qualité ait diminué & que le prix ait autant augmenté : le pain n'est plus plus le même, ressemble à un pain industriel POM, & à deux reprises j'ai eu une maigre tranche de jambon trop cuite & des frites clairement réchauffées...
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 with my son. He had the Tousignant poutine. It was good but small for 18$. I took the double burger. It was very good. I would of probably eaten 2. They also have beers. Seating arrangements are a little tight. Staff was friendly.

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.
J'ai aimer le burger, les frites sont selon moi trop graisseux & l'huile ma l'aire vieille. Le hip des hot dog est un peu sur fait. J'inviterais des amis a goûté, mais Le meilleurs fastfood local. Qualité prix un peu chère.
