Chez Tousignant is a cozy fast-food haven with a retro flair, serving up mouthwatering smash burgers and delicious hot dogs in a friendly atmosphere.
"Chez Tousignant is one of our favorite versions of a casse-croûte, a traditional Québec snack bar. The retro-styled counter spot makes everything from scratch, including the potato buns for their burgers and hot dogs, and their all-beef poutine with classic squeaky cheese curds. Grab a Burger Tousignant—a cheeseburger with slices of maple ham—and a housemade soda, and then check out the nearby Jean-Talon Market (or one of the city’s best Italian pastry shops, Alati Caserta) to make a day of it. Chez Tousignant’s owners have other places in the neighborhood that are worth checking out, like the relaxed Neapolitan pizza spot Gema and the refined Italian bistro Impasto." - Ivy Lerner-Frank
"A diner known for its poutine with fresh cheese curds."
"Chez Tousignant, opened in 2015 by chef Yann Turcotte, is a modern reimagining of a traditional snack bar. It offers classic poutine with double-fried red-skinned potatoes, curds from a local dairy farm, and chicken gravy finished with a 15-spice blend. The restaurant embodies the nostalgic charm of Quebec casse-croûtes." - ByValerie Silva
"Though it may lack decades of history, Chez Tousignant embodies the essence of a classic casse-croute (Quebec-style diner). Opt for the poutine, featuring thick-cut fries, ultra squeaky cheese curds, and a rich gravy. Pair it with a house-made hot dog or the knockout cheeseburger, generously smothered in secret sauce and tucked into a soft potato roll. With its throwback diner vibes and counter seating, Chez Tousignant has, in the process of reimagining a Montreal staple, become one." - Valerie Silva
