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.

I live in Bondi Beach Australia & it's been 20 years since my last visit there. Of course I made a beeline for Chalet BBQ & it was miraculously as good as I remember it. I hope it still is today. My sister & I, who grew up near the restaurant located on Decarie used to be taken there on special occasions. I still remember the motto,'When chicken such as this is served, A person never lingers, He sets aside his knife & fork & eats it with his fingers'. Oh for a taste of that gravy. I search longingly online to see if there will ever be a recipe. I may never make it back to Montreal in my lifetime & it saddens me to think I'll never taste one chip dipped in gravy again or piece of that amazing barbecue chicken. Someone post a recipe!!

Small piece of chicken & I didn't like the sauce. Also employees shouldn't talk in front of the customers about how unhappy they are about their shilts etc.

The best place for chicken in Montreal. Moist, juicy & the sauce, the best. The decor & the waitress uniform is like going back in time.

My best memory is bringing my grandmother back there a few years ago, as she lived on Girouard street in the 1950s, she said the recipe has not changed.

If you like retro it's a great chicken place. The staff is also great. Parking is a pain in the winter though.

I was finally able to try out this local rotisserie, & it is fairly comparable to the others in the neighborhood or the larger chains. The menu is a little more limiting as it is only chicken, they specialize & they make a great rotisserie chicken, so you go here to have that. I would say that I did not love the gravy as much as other places & they do not include coleslaw in their take out order. I did find the chicken to be quite good, the leg or breast meal is probably what to go for as the hot chicken was less good when taken out. I did like that they deliver in a box, no cloth bags & that they only include cutlery when requested, so some nice eco practices. The delivery was also very fast. Overall, it is a good place to order from, very similar to the bigger chains but local.

Best chicken in town with a side of award winning fries. A sign used to hang in this restaurant that read: "When chicken such as this is served, a person never lingers, he sets aside his knife & fork & eats it with his fingers."

Hello world! Let's go eat chicken on a spit! IT'S ALL ABOUT THE GOLDEN, CRISPY SKIN! But Sir, I don't eat the skin of my chicken, like Johnny Utah! Alright, I recently had the pleasure of dining at Chalet BBQ, & may I say... it was an unforgettable experience! From the moment we walked in, Steve & Catherine made us feel right at home with their warm hospitality. The atmosphere was cozy & the chalet of your grandparents, perfect for a relaxed meal. Now, let's talk about the food... absolutely incredible! The chicken was perfectly cooked, bursting with original, authentic flavor, & the poutine was equally delicious. I honestly, highly recommend you all go eat their signature, slow cooked chicken, you won't be disappointed! What really stood out was the attention to detail & the passion they put into their cooking. Steve & Catherine truly care about their patrons & it shows in every aspect of the dining experience. If you're looking for a fantastic meal & a friendly atmosphere, Chalet BBQ is the place to be! I can't wait to go back for another round of their amazing chicken & poutiiiiine! Thank you Steve, you're a great man! & to you Catherine, my family adored you! See you when I see you.

The best rotisserie chicken. This place is the OG of chalet style chicken. The gravy/chicken sauce is so good it's drinkable. & the coleslaw is so amazing because the cabbage is perfectly sliced & not weird little pieces, it's like lace. Can't say enough about this place. Forget st-Hubert & forget Swiss chalet. This is the place!!
