Chez Tousignant

Chez Tousignant is one of our favorite versions of a casse-croûte, a traditional Québec snack bar. The retro-styled counter spot makes things like burgers and hot dogs on potato buns and all-beef poutine. Grab a burger 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 also great, including the relaxed Neapolitan pizza spot Gema and the refined Italian bistro Impasto just around the corner. But when you want a quick burger, fries, and a hot dog, this is the place.
