Smashburger
Jean-Francois C.

Jy suis aller pour l'exellente poutine et pour le smashburger. Le smash la boulette est plus épaisse qua l'habituelle. Ils ont leur propre racinette tres goûteuse unnplus. Le menu est simple mais que de bon choix Le resto est tres jolie avec son coté retro il a du style.

So unassuming, I walked right past it. Yet, don't let appearances fool you; their poutine is legit! It's not fancy-schmancy, but the simplicity is where the awesomeness lies! It's easy to hide mediocrity under a mountain of stuff, but when it's fries, curds, and gravy, it's all out in the open. And let me tell you about this gravy! It was delightfully peppery, savory, and had just the right amount of salt. Further, the consistency was just right, not too thick or thin. The cheese curds were the perfect size to soften just the right amount under the gravy, and the flavors went together marvelously with the cheese, adding some creaminess and texture. As for the fries, these guys were cooked perfectly. They maintained some firmness under what is essentially a liquid while not being so crisp they start crunching. When it comes to the interior, it reminds me of an old-school diner crossed with a dive. There are some well-weathered stools and a couple tables. The service was friendly, but I don't know if I can call it speedy. The poutine took ~15 minutes to come out, and it wasn't very busy. However, given the quality I won't complain or dock them any stars.

One of the best poutine spots in Montreal for certain. Only thing they're missing is a gluten free bun for the burger and we are out here. Overall great experience. Staff was nice and accommodating. Atmosphere is very chill - cool modern day hip diner vibe. Branding is great too - next time I'm for sure copping a T shirt. The burger (double cheeseburger, of course) was very, very good even without a bun. The poutine was AMAZING, especially the beef in it. Probably best poutine I've ever had. My friend got the regular poutine, no ground beef, but in a large. Him and his girlfriend couldn't finish it because they are soft but I was happy to accommodate the leftovers :). Not much more to get into here. Absolutely worth the drop by. One love.

Found out about this place via tik tok. We knew we had to find it on a trip from the states. We were able to find seats inside even though we came during busy evening hours. Cashier was helpful and kind and patient as we ordered (we don't speak French so a few things were lost in translation). The cheeseburgers were amazing. The fries and signature sauce had tons of flavor, although a bit sweet for me. The "slaw" on the hot dog was like a crunchy,.less wet sauerkraute, which we enjoyed. The brioche buns were...nothing short of amazing (French, warm, buttery). I wish the hot dog was a bit bigger to fit the bun and balance all the slaw, but we still enjoyed.

All the hype and 5 star ratings really got me eager to try it out. Unfortunately, their burger, poutine and hotdog was quite ordinary and way overpriced and makes me wonder what the hype the hype is all about as I am all about flavours and textures. Burger - very basic and probably one of the most bland burgers I have had. Poutine - sauce and fries very basic nothing to brag about. Hotdog - nice touch with the coleslaw. Ginger soda - probably the best part of the meal with nice punchy flavours. If you like ginger, try it :-) $ 50 later for fast food and making me wonder what is the hype all about. We'll never know :-)

Regular burger and dark cherry soda
George S.

All the hype and the reviews with " Montreal's best burger " got me hyped up to try it out. I was duped, quite frankly, Five Guys burgers are a thousand times better and even the cherry soda wasn't that great, its way too sweet and was missing the fizz of soda drinks. Even the presentation of the burger doesn't open the appetite. I can say I've tried it, but I won't be going back, plenty of other better burger joints around Montreal.

From the first bite it is clear that this is no ordinary burger. The fresh beef patty is expertly cooked, juicy and seasoned. With a flawless balance of condiments, toppings, cheese and special Tousignant sauce each extra mouthful of tender moist bun is equally tasty.

Guys this place is a MUST. No joke i found the best place for poutine, and I have to say I have never ate such a DELICIOUS poutine, at a point I told my boyfriend i will never go to another place to eat a poutine but here. THE TASTE OF THE GRAVY WAS DECLICIOUS, they also have their own spice that is crazy good which they sell for 5$ ONLY. I loved the retro vibe as well!

Retro snack bar

Chez Tousignant is tucked away a corner away from the Jean-Talon market, which means that if all those fresh veggies and fruits are not your type of happy food, you can always hop a street over and find comfort in hot, greasy and oh-so-good carbs and proteins. I think the heat that followed the opening has burned off a bit, because although it was a busy Saturday night, we all placed our orders within 10 mins. We got seats at the bar, and waited while watching sports. Habs were playing Rangers (and got eliminated booo). The interior is super retro, with pastel colors, round diner stools and metal milkshake cups. All that was missing was a jukebox! The crew was wearing cool-looking Tousignant-branded caps and sweaters. Even the table mats looked good. In fact, I liked them so much I took a clean one home (and no I don't know what to do with it now). I got a double burger and my boyfriend a regular cheeseburger. We shared a Tousignant hot-dog. Our root beer float was actually Tousignant-brand, with the catchphrase "Parce que vous l'meritez" (Because you deserve it). We got our food after maybe 15 mins. The double burger and the hot-dogs were good, but I almost immediately regretted not getting the cheeseburger. What was I thinking?? A burger with no cheese is like a bed with no pillow! So I stepped back in line and ordered another cheeseburger. Then devoured it. We all left smiling in a state of beatitude, just like the small photograph of Frère André in the back of the kitchen. There's something about this little snack bar that's really, really special. Maybe it's the nostalgic vibe of it all, maybe it's the impeccable, yet simple comfort food it offers. What I'm sure of, however, is that I'll be back. Every day if I could afford it.

I finally got to try this place!! I love the old dinner feel, I love the paper place mats with the little t's, i love the friendliness of the employees. Nothing but love for this place. I got the burger and a milkshake. What people have said about the burger is true. It's the best. Really good patty, excellent bread and the cheese is perfectly melted and delicious. They also add a special sauce and it is delightful. The milkshake was also really good, a bit more milky than I prefer (I like it when there's more ice cream) but it didn't bother me. One of the best places in Montreal!

Hot Diggity Dawg! If quality casse croute is your thing, @cheztousignant is your spot cause it's casse croute done differently. It's fancy. Housemade burgers, hot dogs, fries & soda & I tried 'em all. Probably more expensive than you're used to, but you get what you pay for! Plenty of parking, spacious inside & a crew in the kitchen that was fast & efficient. - Shaun Starr Follow @JackyEatsMTL

I don't think of hamburgers when I think of Canada, especially French Canada. That being said, Chez Tousignant was a really great experience and I'm not disappointed I decided to check this place out. The restaurant has a 50's diner kind of feel to it. I don't know culturally what the country was like at that time, but this place made me think of Grease and Elvis Presley- which is awesome of course. The staff was super friendly, helpful, and really nice to us. They were patient with us, answered our questions, and delivered service with a smile. We ordered the Hot Chicken Sandwich, the Tousignant Hamburger, a Tousignant Hot Dog, and the Classic Poutine. Everything is made to order so there was a small wait. Everything was hot and delicious. The burger was huge and delicious, juicy and flavorful. The toasted bun on the sandwich was perfect, but it was kind of challenging to eat considering how thick it was. I've never had poutine before and I'm happy to say that it was well made here - very enjoyable if not kind of really rich. If you're a tourist and want to check out how the French Canadians do a mean hamburger, look no further than Chez Tousignant.

Tousignant hotdog, large poutine, double burger and a black cherry cola

The owners of Impasto opened this gourmet fast food diner. They wanted to make a quality hotdog, burger and poutine. The hotdog and burger are made with high quality local meat and the buns are handmade. I love hotdogs so I was really excited to try a "homemade" hotdog! We ordered the tousignant hotdog, the double burger and a large poutine. The tousignant hotdog has melted cheese under the dog, a homemade sauce and pickles. It was really really good but too expensive ($7). The burger was great, it tasted like am In-and-out burger in my opinion! The real star was the poutine, which was absolutely delicious!! It was about the same price as a Belle province poutine. I'd definitely order this again. Take home message: delicious but pricey. Get the poutine!

As for the food, yes lots of burger, but also offerings that are in regular burger places like salads, poutine and such. The place is on the second floor and span on two floor with an outdoor terrasse (I think on both floor). If you are in a wheelchair or can't go up stairs, you can't reach the restaurant. There's no elevator anywhere (although I don't even know where they could fit it). The place is quite small, like most restaurant near that place. The bathroom are only on the second (third) floor. I took the supersonic burger with fries. The fries are generic fried brown fry you get from corner shack but less greasy (in fact I didn't taste the grease/oil). The burger I took was very good. It felt different then regular burger I take at other place where you can taste the grease or something that make the burger heavy. I finished eating it and while I was full, it felt like I had a light filling meal. My girlfriend took another burger I forgot the name and she really liked it. She took it with the salads which is mostly just greens. You can substitute the buns for lettuce for free. There's also different sides offering, some with extras frees like poutine. The service this time was good. No big wait, waitress came at multiple time to check to see if everything was ok and to refill our glass.

Very tasty soup. Came out hot but cooled quick. Club sandwich was enjoyable.

We walked around a lot in this area and noticed that Dunn's looked old school and had smoked meat so we gave it a try. The wood and leather booths gave this 99 year old establishment an old school vibe. We were seated pretty quickly in a small booth. Hockey was on TV so that's a good sign. I was not super hungry so I ordered the smoked meat on a bagel, Andrew got the sandwich. The food came out fast but not overly fast. My bagel sandwich was tasty. I liked the thin cut of meat. The fries were as soft as mashed potatoes. They were warm but not close to crispy. Andrew liked his sandwich as well. The bathroom was quite the experience, it was at the bottom of a long, steep staircase in the basement. It worked, lighting was ok, but it was a climb out of there! Come here for a simple quick bite and stick to the sandwich. It's good!

You can also reserve room if you are a big group. There's also a restaurant with various food that we didn't try. We didn't try the arcade, we ran out of time on our schedule but we will come back. The arcade work with a card where you accumulate point that you can spent on things in the gift shop. Like many arcade, the more token you buy, the cheaper the cost per token is. We took the combo that is 1 game of bowling, 1 game of laser tag and 1 round of mini golf. The bowling is with big balls. There's a little ramp for the kids or those that just need a little help. There's only one though so you have to share it across the 8 alley. The bowling itself is nice, alley are straight and clean. There's a wide range of ball weight that should be ok for everyone. The mini golf here is special. It's not a less put parcours, it's a most point. Point are done in 2 ways. Once you put, there's a 60sec timer. The time left once you enter the cup is bonus point. The other way is through the course. There's special tricks that you can do to earn extra points and even lose some. It's a very nice twist and it was fun. We ended with a game of laser tag. I saw the maximum occupancy is 28 players splitter in 2 or 3 teams. We were 6 and honestly, the room is small. Unless there's some hidden wall that get open for more player, I wouldn't see much more then 10 players. 28 would be over crowded for sure. For us at 6, it was perfect. One thing is the room itself is dangerous. Like many laser tag room, it's dark. The problem is they put some stuff like ramp but without anything to show you the edge or worst, they put some theming. Half of us were hurt by the stage. I myself trip, while walking slowly down one of those ramp where I though it was going in a specific direction but no. I ended up falling face first, scratching my knees and nearly broking my finger. My girlfriend opened her elbow while edging a wall and our friend got some similar stuff happened. Another thing is they don't really explain you anything beside how to shoot. There's a lot of stuff in the room that you can shoot and I never knew if it did anything beside some animation. Like a wall that seems like maybe a forcefield that would maybe disable enemy shield if they walk through? I don't know. The gun had 2 way to shoot, a long laser or a short range scatter shot like a shotgun. Was fun to be able to cycle through mode. We still had fun, but the state was dangerous in my opinion. It is a nice place to have a fun spend money. Kids will love it for sure and grown up too
