About us

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!

Review Summary

Rotisserie Chalet Bar-B-Q stands out as a timeless Montreal landmark where chicken is roasted over charcoal, delivering juicy meat, rich flavor, and generous portions. The menu stays simple and focused on chicken with fries and a house sauce, offering solid value and consistent quality that keeps locals and visitors coming back. The dining room and decor evoke a nostalgic time capsule with wood accents and vintage touches that many reviews describe as charming and cozy. Service is often described as friendly and attentive, with positive notes about fast dine-in and takeout, and occasional slower moments during peak hours. Fans praise the fries, the sauce, and the coleslaw, and many hail the chicken as the best in town or the best BBQ chicken in Canada, reinforcing a strong sense of tradition. The experience of visiting feels like stepping back in time, and the overall atmosphere and portions make it a must visit for those seeking classic rotisserie flavor, with a focus on value and hospitality.

Bbq chicken - one of the finest in town. Inexpensive too.

I rarely travel across the Mercier bridge but when I do, I'm usually headed to Chalet BBQ for my fix. So delicious & reasonably priced! Service is top notch & friendly!

At the heart of NDG, by a beautiful park. My go-to for a classic chicken dinner since it's better than Saint-Hubert BBQ!

One of the best BBQ chicken in Montreal. Large chickens, not the usual small ones. Fast service. Fries are excellent.

Now you will notice I have it 5 stars for atmosphere even though it's all original & out dated. The reason why? Because it's out dated ! It's like going back into one's childhood & it's nostalgic. Food is yummy & predictably delicious. Portions are generous & the home made crisp fries & BBQ sauce are to die for. The chicken in any form is awesome because it a hot chicken sandwich or rotisserie style yummy. Pricing & value are totally there & a great place for a family meal. Not fancy but it gets the job done well. Dave the manager is always on top & making sure everything is done to his high standards. The customers are proof as most are patrons for generations. You have to go.

This place is okay, really nothing to write home about, if you want "BBQ" (If you want to pretend it's real BBQ) chicken it's decent enough. Nothing really stands out particularly about the food, it's your classic bland run of the mill'BBQ' place. The chicken is mostly flavourless & not anything to write home about, some stuff tastes like cheap canned food (avoid the hot chicken sandwich) I'd say I'd recommend this place, but I really wouldn't, go to a real BBQ restaurant like Moonshine on Monkland.

Le meilleur poulet BBQ à Montréal depuis bientôt 80 ans! Une valeur sûre, une sauce bbq unique en son genre & un poulet toujours juteux & rôti à la perfection. & que dire des frites! Comme nul part ailleurs. Un goût authentique. & les serveuses qui y sont depuis des années font partie du plaisir de visiter ce restaurant familial !

Chalet BBQ is nothing short of an icon in NDG, so talking trash about this establishment would be like insulting the Pope right in the Vatican. No danger of trash talking this place as far as I'm concerned. The chicken is moist & perfect, the fries are EXACTLY the way fries should be & the sauce is simply delicious. UPDATE: After a few years, we finally returned to Chalet BBQ to enjoy some delicious BBQ chicken. Food was just as good as before, but the service has deteriorated considerably. We were 2 couples & one of our friends are handicapped & had a problem with his legs. Even though we arrived late in the evening, with the restaurant 80% empty, the host/manager refused to give us the larger booth so our friend could sit & get up safely, instead telling us he was "...saving the booth for larger parties". Needless to say, no other parties arrived & the booth was left empty, while the 4 of us sat at a small table crowded in the corner. I grew up in NDG & all my friends & I practically lived in this restaurant. What an insulting'homecoming' that was. After being treated like Persona non Grata, we'll do this manager a favor & won't be returning.

Super poulet!! Belles portions! Il faut aussi savoir que la sauce bbq est vraiment différente: différente de celle de St-Hubert & de celle de Benny. Elle est un peu plus sucrée & elle contient ce qui semble être de la cannelle. Une fois qu'on s'attend à cela, on apprécie & c'est vraiment bon. Le restaurant existe depuis 1944! Il y a beaucoup d'histoire dans ces murs! Le décors semble ne pas avoir changé depuis très longtemps, mais c'est très propre & l'aspect "vieillot" contribue au cachet & à l'atmosphère. Ça fait vintage mais "d'origine", pas "refait"... C'est cool! Bravo! À l'équipe du Chalet BBQ!😋👍

It's still the one....best BBQ chicken in our books! Very attentive service. Homey decoration, knotty pine. Challenge: Find the roosters in the decor 😀

If you want to visit one true Bar-B-Q chicken place, THIS IS THE PLACE, I can't see any other place in a 50-75 km distance that tops this place & I'm pretty sure there isn't in the province. this place is epic in any way. food is amazing, don't expect a very complex menu, this is old classics but done the right way. the place looks likes a log cabin... it's called chalet BBQ, what do you expect... these people knows how to deliver the due. this place is the only place I wanna go when it comes to BBQ chicken & it is probably the only remnants of an era where each hood had a BBQ place like this & still at that time Chalet was still top of my list (& I visited them all).

Chicken was good ;the bbq sauce was horrible. We could not use it. It had nasty taste with a cumin spice which was terrible . We were told by the waitress it takes a few meals to acquire the taste. No thanks we will never go back

ENFIN ce vieux resto est listé ici. Existe depuis des dizaines d'années. Si vous aimez le bon poulet BBQ avec sauce & frites SUPER ,essayez le. Meilleur que les autres concurrents. Le service est donné par des personnes d'expérience, avec le sourire. C'est vieux comme décor, & on pourrait se demander comment la cuisine est tenue. Mais on passe, parce que c'est BON. Je vais y retourner bientôt, ça me rappelle tellement des souvenirs d'enfance. Il y en avait un sur Ste-Catherine, près de Guy, autrefois.

De loin le meilleur poulet BBQ. les prix sont très abordables, les portions généreuses & des vrais frites le tout dans un décor nostalgique. Le poulet chez Chalet BBQ c'est un peu comme un smoke meat chez Schart's, ça vaut le détour. Arriver tôt si vous êtes à court de temps pour le diner. Bon appétit...
