Chez Tousignant

A very convenient and nice restaurant right next to the Jean Talon Market. The poutine was amazing and the cheeseburgers were very good. Love the interior which has the diner vibe and very clean. They have a high hair which was very convenient but the entrance was not very accessible.

Poutine review only!

Heard great things about Chez Tousignant's poutine and was excited to try it! Overall pretty decent. I liked the seasoning on the fries which you typically don't see, and altogether the flavour was good. Ratios are where it fell short for me. It could definitely use more gravy and at least another half layer of curds.

Given the price and my preferences, there's a decent list of other spots I'd get my poutine fix at, but their burgers and dogs look incredible so I'd stop by again to try those!

French fries are a bit too burned and 90% of it are tiny 1 inch pieces.
Be aware that they put a special blend spices on top instead of just salt so disappointing if you want plain french fries and not a "barbecue chips" taste.
Overall I expected better so I won't come back.
Expensive for something that you don't even want to finish

Great burgers, dogs, and poutine in a hip spot that gives out diner vibes. A must try spot if you want something more unique than other similar choices.

Got the poutine here. It was pretty good, good cheese curd to fry to gravy ratio. Like an old fashioned dinner.

I am a huge poutine fan. We travel to Montreal often, so I always have my poutine fix whenever we come here. My wife isn’t a big poutine fan, however, but loves a good burger, so we decided to check this place out. We were glad we did! My wife got the burger and fries, I got the hot dog and the poutine classique. We both got the house-made black cherry soda. Everything was delicious! The service was friendly and quick. This place is close to the Jean Talon Market, I wished we would have come here sooner when we visited the market last couple times.

No idea why Tousignant isn’t rated higher! Locally recommended smash burger diner, known for burgers (of course) and 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 and poutine.
What’s more to ask?

It's my review after six visits. Nestled on Dolet Avenue in Montreal, Chez Tousignant is a true haven for burger aficionados. From the moment you step in, you're welcomed into a world where burgers are not just food, but a work of art. With options like cheese, bacon, or the divine marriage of both, their dedication to catering to every burger lover's desires is evident. 👏🍔🧀🥓

What struck me most was the meticulous attention to detail that permeated every aspect of my visit. Watching as they skillfully crafted the beef ball and transformed it into a succulent patty was a spectacle in itself. The grill's sizzle and the aroma that filled the air set the stage for a burger that was nothing short of perfection. The patty, resting atop a soft bun, was adorned with a symphony of flavors - burger sauce, melted cheese, and a colorful array of garden-fresh vegetables. 🍅🥬🍔

But this experience extended beyond the burger itself. The fries, served piping hot, added a satisfying crunch to each bite. Their homemade cherry soda was a delightful companion, adding a refreshing zing to the palate. And the option to pair it all with a choice of beer elevated the experience to a new level. 🍟🥤🍺

The staff's warm and friendly demeanor further enhanced the dining journey. With efficient service, they ensured that every aspect of my visit was seamless and enjoyable.

As I walked away from Chez Tousignant, I knew one thing for sure: I'll be back. This haven of burger craftsmanship has truly set a new standard, and I'm already looking forward to my next encounter with their exquisitely curated burgers. 🍔🤤
