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 ordered the hot dog tousignant & small poutine - this was an ok poutine, but definitely not my favourite - there was a good balance of fries/cheese/gravy however the gravy had no flavour & the fries were soggy. The hot dog had a good flavour (it was made in-house) but the mayo sauce was very overpowering, the few bites I had with less sauce were great. Poutine 3/5 Hot Dog 4/5
Définitivement overpriced. 50$ pour une poutine, deux burgers & un milkshake. Bonne sauce, vraiment rien d'unique. Je suggère plutôt le nouveau système juste à côté pour la moitié du prix!

J'avais des belles attentes mais j'ai vraiment été déçu! La poutine régulière est minuscule pour 10$, sans oublier le manque de fromage & le hamburger sec!
65 dollars pour deux poutines & deux hot dogs, à emporter donc sans les pourboires! les poutines sont très petites, à peine du fromage en grain dedans, les hots dogs sont bons mais à ce prix là, pour les portions données je n'irai plus jamais malheureusement ! Services & ambiance très bonne donc dommage !!
Il y'a du choix entre hamburger simple & succulent & les plus élaborés. Délicieuse poutine. Les frites sont très bien assaisonnées chez Tousignant & les sodas maisons sont vraiment bon.

Un classique des burgers a Montréal nous y sommes allés en plein rush & pourtant nous n'avons même pas attendu 5 minutes notre commande ! Les burgers sont simples mais savoureux & juteux ! Les frites sont dans mes favorites à Montréal.
I came here to try the poutine on a Friday night. The place was decently busy but there was no lineup. We were a group of 3 & found space without any issues. The poutine was good but i thought the sauce was a little too sweet for my liking. Portion was on the smaller side but nothing offensive. The cheese was very fresh & super squeaky, I just wish the curds were a bit bigger. I'm glad I tried it but unfortunately not a place I'd come back to. They do make their own sodas which was really neat. We had the cherry Cola, the root beer & the cream soda. I had the cherry Cola & it was good but a bit too syrupy.
66$ pour deux poutines ordinaires, trois hot-dogs, un chese-burger & deux boissons gazeuses... C'est du vol pur & simple! Les poutines étaient "mangeables", sans plus & le chese-burger était assez bon... Le décor vintage est très agréable, cependant! Le personnel est aimable... Je suis content de l'avoir essayé mais je n'y retournerai pas.
