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.

La question à laquelle on tentait de répondre est la suivante:'Est-ce que le poulet peut rendre heureux?'

La réponse est plus complexe. Pas vraiment, mais j'aime ça la rendre complexe.

Ça fait des années, DES ANNÉES que je veux essayer'Chalet', mais les circonstances favorables sont difficiles à rassembler. Déjà, je dois avoir faim & simultanément me retrouver dans le village Monkland. Une occurence plutôt rare. Mais si tu lis cet avis, il y a probablement une excellente chance que tu saches où se trouve le restaurant. Moi, je me suis stationné devant le commerce, ça m'a presque donné l'impression d'être un prince européen en visite diplomatique. C'est pas certain que se soit ta chance mais sache que c'est possible.

Les soirées d'aoûts sont lentes & râpeuses car malgré elles, elles annoncent cet automne qu'on ne saurait plus se mentir. Heureusement, la sauce brune est un lubrifiant aussi suave qu'abondant comme tu peux le voir sur la photo.

Il y a du brun ici. Alors dans l'ordre, la soupe fait complètement le travail même si je trouve cruel qu'on doivent choisir dans'le repas' entre celle-ci & la salade de choux. Parce qu'on a jamais assez d'amour, ça existe pas ça'trop d'amour', amour d'une soupe & d'une salade. La soupe s'approche du câlin d'une grand-mère qui sentirait la soupe. Ma grand-mère ne sentait pas tant la soupe & ne m'a pas fait tant de câlin au final. Mais que son dieu ait son âme la pauvre femme.

Revenons à notre volaille. Le poulet bien cuit est vraiment très bon & la portion honnête, température bonne, pas trop salé non plus. La sauce est abondante & onctueuse,'matante' est pas chiche avec sa sauce, y va y en avoir pour tout le monde autour de la table, & pour toutes les bouchées de poulet que tu vas vouloir y tremper. Les frittes sont maisons & vraiment extraordinaires. My god ces frittes....! Je crois que sont les frittes le vrai trigger de l'expérience vintage.

Quoi que, le resto semble arborer ses apparats d'origine. Le bois dans la salle à manger, les mosaïques au sol, les décos loufoques & les photos de gâteau aux carottes'Élites'. & C'EST TELLEMENT COOL. Ça m'a rendu sincèrement heureux d'avoir l'impression pendant un moment d'avoir pu revenir en arrière. Chez Chalet on ne commande pas sur un ipad, on passe la commande à un être humain.

Il faut aller là-bas, il faut voir! Il faut manger le poulet tout chaud sorti de la cuisine & les frittes de la bonne texture plutôt que de se plaindre qu'elles sont molles après un trajet de 45 mins dans le traffic métropolitain.

Le poulet rend heureux. L'expérience vaut tout à fait le détour. Les prix sont encore raisonnables. Pas besoin de payer 395$ pour manger du poulet rôti, je sais que tu sais de qui je parle.

Je vais très certainement y retourner avec plaisir au Chalet.

This is my tenth Google review. I started on a whim one day & I enjoy it! Happy you are taking the time to read this one. It is a special place for my 10th! Chalet BBQ! It's on Sherbrooke street in NDG just off the Decarie. A real true montreal historical chicken institution. Some where you go with your parents after a great hockey game & it just feels like home. The memories! ...
The food is even better than a description can give. The chicken is soooooo juicy & the flavor from the rotisserie process leaves the meat with a beautiful... je ne sais pas... I would say it's kissed with deliciousness 😋 lol...
Check out the photos. Order the special table d'hote. That's French for'order me'. It is a 1/4 chicken plus fries, sauce, bread & Cole slaw or soup. Both are awesome. Extra charges for breast but it's worth it. Always go for the breasts my dad used to say 😆 ...

If you go & follow my reviews, please leave a like & a 🙏 or a ❤? or a 🍆 & a 🍑 ... leave something funny. Tell everyone #jackbrown9120 sent you & win a prize 🏆 ... for real #spicyadventuresKTOWN & #beastgaming88 are for real ... 😳

Chalet Bar-B-Q is one of the best places to get roast chicken here in the city. The last time I was here was probably a while ago but I hope to eat in this restaurant when this pandemic is over. From What I remembered. The service is decent because it was not as crowded as it used to be it was on a weekend as well but pretty busy. The chicken, fries side dishes were delicious & cooked to perfection. I had no issues with the food for dining in at the time. The last time I was there 5 years ago & it is one of my favorite chicken places in the city. The only thing is that it is pretty far for me since it is located close to downtown but in the N.D.G. area. However it is walkable from Villa-Maria & Vendome metro. There is also parking in the street & at the back. During the pandemic their times have changed & I believe they only accept takeout & delivery but no dining. 28 July, 2024 20:00. This Chalet BBQ is the best chicken place in the city. Pros: A) Our make server don't know his name is bilingual & very polite he is a male. B) The Cesar salad as a starter was good & simple & the chicken soup was hot & not like warm. Both were delicious. C) The chicken & baked potato were delicious & seasoned perfectly especially the chicken. D) The location is perfect as it's near the highway & not far from Vendome Metro. Cons: A) Washrooms is old & needs renovation. B) Parking is pretty tight but it's nice that they have parking for clients. Other than that. This a hidden gem & I want to comeback to visit & show tourists & visitors this chicken spot is the best in MTL. God Bless!!! In the future I hope to try & check it out. It was voted one of the best roast chicken restaurants by CTV & many chicken fans alike. A great recommendation & hope you guys can try it. One of the best roast chicken places in the 514 area.

Decided to try out the place with my boyfriend & was very disappointed with the food & the floor manager's customer service skill. We ordered the Chicken Leg with a coleslaw & a hot Chicken. The Coleslaw was more vinegary than creamy & was very soupy, the Chicken was fine but the gravy had a strange taste. When we complained to the manager about the quality of our food we were reprimanded for not asking for another meal instead of wanting a discount on top of getting excuses after excuses on why the meal wasn't to our taste. Gravy tasted weird? We used the same gravy for all our meals! When we said we didn't like the coleslaw we were told it's "not the one they usually use" which makes me wonder if it means they get them pre-made, & if yes why don't they make it in house? Anyway the waitresses were amazing but it is a shame the food quality isn't there & how we were treated when we pointed it out.

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.

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.

Une institution à Montréal. Lieu bien connu des vrai Montréalais,un peu hors du temps (au moins un lieu qui ne change pas icitte !!) . Du poulet rôti, (toutes sortes de parties) bien assaisonné & très bon . Des frites maison très bonnes aussi. Salades, soupe, sandwich le tout au poulet uniquement. Idéal en famille pas dispendieux ce qui fait qu'on revient ! Service efficace souriant & poli. Parking gratuit derrière. On recommande sans hésiter.
