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.

Best chicken on earth plain & simple! So juicy & tender. The skin is to die for, tastes like charcoal hardcore. The fries are the best fries I've ever ate, the sauce & coleslaw too! I've been going to chalet bbq since I'm a young child, always stayed the same. The atmosphere is old & rustic, it has its charm, the waitresses are so nice.The ultimate comfort food! If you guys ever wanna sell the restaurant or franchise it I'm in 100%!

A true Montreal icon. The best BBQ chicken in Canada, by far. Dine in to experience a restaurant that hasn't changed its decor in half a century, which is part of what makes it so fun. Fun, friendly staff.

A classic in my book!
When I crave chicken, this is the place I go to! It's got that old charm to it & the prices are really reasonable.

An absolute must for anyone who loves good rotisserie chicken... even better: their sauce!! Absolutely incredible.

My favorite part of visiting Chalet BBQ, though, is the decor... i'm sure nothing has changed in about 40 years... brown wood everywhere (including the walls!), tacky art on the walls, cramped orangebooths... even the dinner plates are vintage, I swear! Feels like stepping back into the'80s. Seriously iconic stuff. It feels JUST right, along with the waitresses who've worked there for ages (some may SEEM grouchy, but if you're sweet enough, they call you'hun' or'my love!'), & unbeatable food, this is one of my favorite nostalgic spots.

Iconic restaurant that stands the test of time it offers a full menu of generous portions of BBQ chicken dishes with sides. Not gastronomy but tasty. The service was great, fast & friendly it was clear to see many customers were regulars. This place has been serving customers at the same location for generations so if your in the area & are in the mood for some great tasting chicken give it a try. Lunch specials are available.

This chicken place is one of the best in Montreal. The chicken is of good quality & well prepared-not dry nor flavourless like grocery chicken. The sauce is made with real chicken fat, not glucose or other chemical mix; also it is not overly salty, the kind you need to drink a galon of water after eating. The fries are made with real wholesome potatoes. Overall the chicken plates are worth it. However, what is beyond delicious is their poutine. It is the BEST that I have ever had in Montreal. This restaurant is one of the kind in my opinion. Worth a try😊👍👍 Thank you Tina for great service. You made our diner outing great!!!!

Still on of Montreal's landmark BBQ restaurants. Still one of my favorite BBQ Chicken restaurants on or off the islands of Montreal & Laval. Many waitresses & their family members have worked there for decades. All the staff & management, like Steven the lunchtime matradee are so pleasant. Even Stevens' children work there, & Steven is demanding for things to be done right. Lovely atmosphere. Expect to see holiday tidings on walls & ceilings. Plenty of crayons & cutouts to keep younger children busy so the parents can enjoy the atmosphere. What can I say...I love the place.
