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.

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.

Super poulet!! Belles portions! Il faut aussi savoir que la sauce bbq est vraiment différente: différente de celle de St-Hubert & de celle de Benny. Elle est un peu plus sucrée & elle contient ce qui semble être de la cannelle. Une fois qu'on s'attend à cela, on apprécie & c'est vraiment bon. Le restaurant existe depuis 1944! Il y a beaucoup d'histoire dans ces murs! Le décors semble ne pas avoir changé depuis très longtemps, mais c'est très propre & l'aspect "vieillot" contribue au cachet & à l'atmosphère. Ça fait vintage mais "d'origine", pas "refait"... C'est cool! Bravo! À l'équipe du Chalet BBQ!😋👍

Es war erst eine Empfehlung meines Schwiegervaters. „Eines der letzten Originale aus seiner Zeit". Als ich dann auf der Bank platz nahm, kann in der Tat das Gefühl eines alten Diners auf. Das Personal ist super freundlich und hilfsbereit. 1/2 Hähnchen mit Pommes und Krautsalat... genial. Das beste... es gibt auch Bier.😄 Ich kann es nur sehr empfehlen dem Restaurant einen Besuch abzustatten, wenn ihr in Montreal seid.

Les créateurs de la formule "saint-hubert". Même recette, cuisine & salle à manger que dans les années 40. Meilleure place en ville

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.

SVP, CESSEZ DE MONTEZ VOS PRIX- VOUS ÊTES DIFFÉRENTS D'AILLEURS- VOUS POUVEZ NE PAS SUIVRE CETTE TENDANCE DE VOLEURS. GARDEZ VOS CLIENTS QUI S,APPAUVRISSENT SVP-Je suis une cliente de très longue date, une serveuse attroce jamais vu , une certaine Jodie J, nous a offert un service impolit, rude, agressif, aucune écoute, nous a garoché les plats, ne nous a jamais demandé si tout était ok, & malgré un pourboire correct, jamais remercié. Impolit, détestable très mauvais pour votre resto que j'adore depuis plus de 25 ans. svp vous n'avez pas besoin de ce genre de bas de gamme cm serveuse.

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 .

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).

Simply the best! Grew up in NDG, & this was always an affordable option for the family. I live in Ontario now & when I visit this is the first restaurant I to go to. Affordable, the staff are attentive & friendly. Everyone loves it just the way it is
