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 atmosphere is always welcoming, & the staff makes each meal feel like a homecoming. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a reliable, delicious dining experience. Chalet Bar-B-Q never disappoints!

The restaurant looks very nice & inviting. The problem with the tables is that they cannot very well accommodate 4 people & they have a limited number of big tables. The food is nice. I recommend the chicken breast over chicken legs because the leg was small & very fatty. We went there a little late & we think this why the fries were stale. Some of the staff, especially the lady that served us, were very nice & friendly. For the price & quality of service, I think it's a good deal.

When you walk up to this place, you can tell that it stands on decades of tradition & reputation. Starting with the retro street sign which you never see for restaurants anymore, & the building style from the exterior. It is physically built to feel like a Chalet in the city. The prices are reasonable, amazing that they've been able to stay in business all these years while charging reasonable prices - other restaurant-owners, take note! Turns out, serving the same dish for 80 years results in masterful perfection. Every part of the quarter chicken dinner was delicious & well-balanced. The gravy really has a rich, fantastic flavour that compliments the chicken very well. The food doesn't take too long to come out either. Service here is great too.

One should note that the dinning room closes at 9PM. Only takeout section is open till 10PM. Chalet Bar-B-Q is what your Anthony Bourdain dreams are made of! Only a handful of places like this scream "Montreal" like Céline Dion. Chalet puts St-Hubert chicken & french fries to shame. In addition, their desserts will have you wet like a 12 yers old obsessed kid at summer camp.

Best roast chicken, french fries & gravy on the planet. Grew up in Montreal but return home every summer for Chalet BBQ. Absolutely THE BEST!

I came in for dinner the other day & really enjoyed the food as usual however my waitress, Anne Marie, ruined the evening for me. I ate my meal in the dining room & then ordered some take out & she had the gall to tell me I didn't tip her enough based on the total bill! I explained to her that I had tipped her for serving me in the dining room but she didn't have any involvement with my take-out order so she shouldn't expect a tip for that. She seemed to be pleasant at first but then her greedy side came out. I won't be going back there again! Unfortunately it takes one bad experience to make you forget about the good ones.

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.
