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.

Great fries. Chicken could have been cooked more. Had a nice flavour. I didn't like the sauce. A bit like stepping back in time to the 60's. It's okay but I wouldn't go back.

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.

Simple warm basic food (based on chicken & potato). Good family atmosphere. Lager graft beer. Good place especially during cold winter weather.

A fixture of the NDG neighbourhood for the 80 years, this restaurant is still going strong serving up some of the best rotisserie chicken. This place has that old school restaurant decor with the vinyl clad booth seats & wood wall panelling. Food was piping hot & delicious - staff are perfectly bilingual. I highly recommend this place for that classic Montréal restaurant experience & top-class rotisserie chicken.

Chalet Bar-B-Q exceeded my expectations! The chicken was impeccably cooked, bursting with flavor. The ambiance was delightful, & the service was top-notch. If I could, I'd give it 6 stars on Google Maps. Highly recommended!

I have been coming here for more than 40 years as it was a family favorite. The chicken is tender & tasty, the FRIES are the best in Montreal, in my humble opinion. & THE SAUCE. I used to drink what was left when i was young. Not much has changed over the years EXCEPT for the size of the chicken they serve. i felt as if I was eating a baby chicken, the drumstick was so small!! They must have changed supplier. Charge more, but give us a normal size chicken leg, please. I will still go back, but will have to order two legs instead of one...

Very cozy place to grab a nice meal & enjoy the service. It was my first time visiting Montréal & we needed a nice meal before heading back home. This place came about & we decided to try it. It was a great choice! The food was delicious & filling, & our waitress was wonderful. The waitress was very friendly & gave us recommendations to save some money. Their gravy has a hint of heat. Their fries were crispy & very palletable. Chicken soup was perfect to warm up. I liked their water pitcher. Unfortunately, I don't have a picture of their water pitcher. Go & check it out.

I like hole in the wall restaurant with simple good food & this is the place. I had the chicken sandwich with kaiser bun. It was a bit dry but still good. My daughter had the kids' meal, which was delicious as per her. This establishment is 80 years old & it shows with all the dark wood walls & chalet atmosphere. Prices are really low. For 2 meals, I paid under 30$, which is great for my wallet.

The chicken was so good! Well seasoned & very juicy. The gravy they give you is a bit spicy but was amazing. My waitress was super friendly.

Bon petit resto rustique comme dans le temps avec ambiance plutôt tamisée , petit menu avec seulement du poulet & ce qui est associé avec (club-hot chicken). Poulet bon quoiqu'un peu sec & très bonnes frites maison ou patates au four offertes aussi en accompagnement.Bonne sauce brune avec la poutine particulièrement, bref c'était ma 1ère visite & j'y retournerais .

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 😀

Still the best rotisserie chicken available in Montreal, & serving one of the best lunch specials available. The fries are excellent, but the baked potato is a great option too.

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).
