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.

Food: delicious Decoration: outdated & gloomy (needs more lighting) Staff: can hardly put on a welcoming smile due to being overworked?

I always make a point to come here on my trips to Montreal. My grandfather who I never met, passed away at a young age. He used to frequent this incredible restaurant & I feel like I keep his spirit alive by eating here. The food is always delicious & this time the leg lunch special was mouthwatering!!! I will forever adore everything about Chalet Bar-B-Q. That will keep my spirit alive a little longer too haha. Thank you!!!

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.

Alarmingly filled with people just as old as the places reputation, the waitress was very sweet & kind & even offered us refills since we clearly didn't enjoy our food, we barely touched our plates & they were mostly full by the time we were done, when we asked to talk to someone about the quality of the food & our poor experience (especially since our dinner for 2 was 50$) we were lectured about asking to change dishes next time & wait even longer to eat. Despite being polite, the manager tried to argue & grift from us & only comped the taxes on our meal (9$) despite wasting the large majority of our dinne

It feels like you're blasted back to the past when you go into this restaurant, & in a very good way. I had a wonderful quarter chicken meal, the chicken was done just right & the fries were greasy & good. They've got parking in the back so it's very easy to dine here.

Been wanting to try this place for years & today it finally happened! I absolutely love the decor inside. It feels like your grandmother's cottage. Staff was ultra friendly & the food service was super fast. I have to say that they're gravy is quite possibly the best gravy I've ever had in my life.the rotisserie chicken & french fries were also right on the money. Really lovely experience & I will definitely go back soon. & yes, they still offer free chicken necks! All you have to do is ask. Crazy!

You know those early 2000's vampire movies with lots of shiney clothing, karate, & octogenarian character actors portraying vamps from "pure blooded" lineages with names like Dorian? Well, Swiss chalet & the like are very much daywalkers compared to Chalet bar b q's charming but dangerous baddie. The fries are outstanding, too.

With a family of 6 including 4 small children its hard to find a place everyone agrees upon. At least twice a month the kids ask for chicken from Chalet BBQ. Their family pack option is a life saver. Its always nice to see a business offer options for families.

It's a great place to have rotisserie chicken. The ambiance of the restaurant fits very well with the neighborhood It's in.

This is a Montreal institution in terms of Bar-B Q chicken. Un equalled , best Bar-B-Q chicken in the province & most likely in the country. A must for everyone, don't hesitate go & you'll be pleased you got a taste of it & regret for not going earlier.
