Rotisserie Chalet Bar-B-Q opened its doors in August 1944. Over the years we have built a legendary reputation for the best roast chicken in the world. This really is the connoisseur's choice! We selectively buy wholesale chicken, always fresh and plump. Our chickens are slowly roasted in brick kilns on real maple charcoal. We ensure that all our chickens are gold and crisp on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside. When served with our famous home-made dipping sauce, nothing compares. Simply delicious. Bon Appetit!
Rotisserie Chalet Bar-B-Q stands as a Montreal staple with nostalgic charm, delivering consistently flavorful charcoal roasted chicken, abundant fries, and a tangy sauce that keeps guests coming back. The menu is straightforward and generously portioned, featuring whole and half chickens, coleslaw, gravy, and comforting poutines at approachable prices, all enjoyed in a warm, old world dining room. Reviewers describe a vintage, cozy atmosphere with wood tones and quirky retro decor that feels like a comfortable time capsule. Friendliness and steady service are common themes, with takeout and dine-in options that suit families and casual meals alike. Overall, the signature chicken, crisp fries, rich sauce, and timeless vibe make Rotisserie Chalet Bar-B-Q a beloved Montreal icon that many return to year after year.
I understand that this may not be the best platform to share my experience which did not end up being a dining experience but rather an example of genuine kindness & customer service.
I wanted to express my gratitude to the front of house staff at Chalet BBQ who were working then end of lunch service on Wednesday April 1.
My dad & I had come in for lunch, within minutes of sitting down & ordering he became ill. This was a reaction to a medical injection that was administered a mere 45 mins earlier. He was physically sick & required attention from me while we waited for our ride to pick us up & return him to the hospital. We later learned that he had a rare allergic reaction. He was discharged from the hospital today & is recovering at home.
My thanks to you is, that while we may have disturbed the peace in the dining area we were still treated so well by all of the servers & managers who checked in on us. Thank you for your kindness toward me & my dad during this stressful situation, where I was uncertain on what to do.
We have always loved Chalet BBQ, & now have a story to tell about how wonderful the staff are. ❤?
Chalet Bar-B-Q is the most succulent & moist chicken you can get in Montreal. Clearly their years of experience have made them chicken masters. The staff is super friendly, the ambiance homey & the prices affordable. For sure a'bucket list' restaurant to try at least once (& you'll probably want to come back for more).

Hey reality check to the owners. The price of a chicken breast meal with soft drink is $30 with tax & tip. It's great chicken but overpriced. It's a nostalgic MTL restaurant that needs some renovations. Maybe offer a promotion one day a week or something to make it worth going for local folks.
My husband & I went out for dinner last night. We really had a terrific waitress. Kyianna always had a smile & checked on us often. We just want to thank you for the great service.

I can't remember the last time I was at Chalet Bar B Q since leaving the city but I know one thing is for sure.... It hasn't changed one bit. Still amazing service, the best damned chicken & nostalgia.
