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.

The best chicken place in Montreal & surrounding area. I have been going there for 70 years now. I live off island but well worth the trip. This restraunt is not a franchise. They have kept the original receipt since it first opened in the mid 40's.

Both meals we had were okay, somewhat the same when you prepare lunch sandwich you bring to work. The taste/flavour has nothing extraordinary in it. The meals were made in a very simple way which is kind of nice but missing some smoky flavour; The chicken slices on my sandwich were bland. Soup leaned towards the salty side. Fries were a little greasy. The serving portion is quite huge which is great for people with big appetite. The waiting staff is attentive & friendly. Parking space is a plus as customers have a designated free parking towards the back of the restaurant. The place is clean however the lighting is somewhat too dim for me.

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!

We really love oldschool places so the atmosphere were really good & unique. The service & people were also kind & smiley. For the food we didn't eat chicken. We have tried poutine, fries & a ceasar salad. Fries were not crispy at all & reminded of just old cooked potatoes & they were greasy. After our stomach felt not good beacuse of the grease. For vegetarian options is only a fries & a salad.

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

If this is not a'Heritage Montreal' site, it should be. Hands down the very best chicken in Montreal. As soon as you walk in the smell will have you salivating. Fries are awesome! Time machine decor is perfect. Polite friendly service.

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.

Love their chicken, bbq sauce & coleslaw! 12$ chicken leg or 14$ breast dinner lunch special

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.

A classic chicken place with great food. The poutine is nothing special but the signature dish came fast, hot & was very reasonably priced. The maitre'd was a bit unpolished & took away from the enjoyment a little.

Chalet Bar-B-Q is a forever favorite. It is what it is & loved by many, many Montrealers. We travel all the way from St. Lazare occasionally to eat or pick up a chicken & fries from take-out. Latest visit was after a show in downtown Montreal.

My first time eating here & I was not disappointed! Chicken was great, fries are easily the best fries I've ever had & the SAUCE! absolutely delish. Highly recommend, portions are great for the price you pay. & beer for under 6$! Worth a trip out here
