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.
This is place is consistently good. The burgers are fresh & a good size. The fries are great, they taste like they are fried in peanut oil & have that texture. I've eaten here a few times & it has been good each time.

With a limited local menu this establishment serves it with a smile. Their hot dog & fries are great. Customer service is fantastic. Poutine looked great too.
Le restaurant est plein de charme & sans prétention, la carte est simple. J'ai opté pour un burger tousignant, des frites & une racinette en boisson pour accompagner le tout. La racinette: le soda est original & équilibré, ça commence bien... Le tousignant arrive, & là c'est la claque ! N°1 à mon classement international "collection burger prestige". Ajouter à ça l assaisonnement des frites. Simplement parfait.
Personnel sympathique, on a reçu rapidement nos repas. Les pains hot-dog & les saucisses & probablement autre chose (je ne saurais dire) sont fait maison. C'est pas donné pour du fast food mais c'est très satisfaisant au goût. Petit resto bien propre, je compte y retourner & je vous encourage de l'essayer. :)

Après plusieurs années j'étais curieux d'essayer ce casse-croûte. Le résultat n'a pas été à la hauteur de mes attentes. Frites trop cuites & cheeseburger vraiment ordinaire (sauce type Big Mac). Le décor style diner se fait vieillissant. Pas de papier à main dans la machine distributrice mais en revanche trois bouteilles de savon à proximité du lavabo !
Poutine at this place? One word delicious! You will find parking if you want to taste this delicacy here, La Poutine. The four of us loved it. I have tasted poutine a few other places. Chez Tousigant's poutine is one of the finest in Montreal. Worth every cent. The question we asked ourselves as always was - will we come back here? The vote was a unanimous yes! So there you are 👍

Simple menu for a casse-croûte ! The spécial sauce on burgers tested like the big Mac sauce, & personally, I didn't find the burger special. As my hubby says: "c'est rien pour écrire à sa mère !" On the flip sid, the fries were really good! The wait times were not long, the servers were really nice, & the restaurant had crayons for the kids. Overall, cute place but didn't replace my current favourite burger place.
Gotta say, these burgers are the best in all of Montreal. They taste like a much better version of Shake Shack. 100% recommended. Had had during the pandemic, but the lineups were insane, but now that i went back on normal conditions, they are 100% worth the trip. Fries are delicious too, even without ketchup, they taste amazing.
Fun vibes. Got the poutine tousignant which was appropriately packed with beef & bacon. I wish the fries were ever so slightly less soggy from gravy so there would be some crispiness as texture contrast.
