It’s a simple meal, easy to transport and ideal for eating on the go – and something we’ll never get tired of eating. For foodies looking for a really good hot dog in Montreal, here’s a list of our favourite hot dog places in town.
Here is our list of deluxe and classic hot dogs! Montreal is known for its classic hot dogs, and they’re a definite must in chip trucks and canteens across the province! We’re talking about a steamed or toasted hot dog, served on a white bun with a steamed pork or beef sausage topped with cabbage, mustard onions, ketchup, relish or mayonnaise. Here are the places where you can find these famous classic hot dogs:
Chez Tousignant
Chez Tousignant offers an exceptional Quebecois “casse-croûte” menu, including one of the best hot dogs in town! In this 1950’s-1960’s style diner, the house serves two delectable hot dogs; made on site from 100% local beef brisket and served in a very good homemade bun. On the menu, your two hot dog choices include the excellent “Classic” served with mustard and coleslaw, as well a our favourite, the “Tousignant Hot Dog” served with Tousignant sauce, cheese, bacon and pickle.

Bar Majestique is one of the best bars in Montreal where you can eat very well. Plus, they serve one of the best hot dogs in the city! The oversized hot dog (12 inches!) is composed of a soft bun from Hof Kelsten bakery, topped with a homemade piglet sausage, lightly spiced lemon mayonnaise, mustard, coleslaw, green apple and fried leek. It costs $22, but for a large and deluxe hot dog, we recommend it!
