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.

Un goût unique de poulet tendre & délicieux dont votre estomac vous remerciera y aller c'est l'adopter
Dommage qu'il n'y a pas de chaîne de ce genre .avec une ambiance d'antan .

What can I say this is a landmark & I’ve been coming here since before I was born 55 years ago & I have been here over 1000 times . Tasty chicken , the fries & sauce are to die for in my opinion & the coffee is nice as well. Prices have gone crazy in the last 5 years though & it’s become more expensive than the big chain chicken joints like st hub, Benny etc . I sure do miss thé old days when I got a double leg dinner with fries,sauce,slaw & a drink for less than a McDonald’s trio. I miss some of servers that I grew accustomed over the decades …

You come here for the old style chicken.
Service is fast but the decor has not changed in past half century. Do not expect a fancy place.

Chicken was good ;the bbq sauce was horrible. We could not use it. It had nasty taste with a cumin spice which was terrible . We were told by the waitress it takes a few meals to acquire the taste. No thanks we will never go back

En effet, c'est comme autrefois : *très* gras!! Notre serveur pouvait à peine parler français, chose inacceptable de nos jours. Le service était très moyen & assez brusque. Mais j'avais besoin d'essayer l'endroit. C'est fait, mais je répéterai pas l'expérience. Pas plus que je ne la recommanderai. -- True, it is just as it used to be : *very* greasy!! Our waiter could barely speak French, which I find unacceptable nowadays. Service was okay, abeit'rough'. I had to try this place out - but will never repeat the experience, nor recommend it.

ENFIN ce vieux resto est listé ici. Existe depuis des dizaines d'années. Si vous aimez le bon poulet BBQ avec sauce & frites SUPER ,essayez le. Meilleur que les autres concurrents. Le service est donné par des personnes d'expérience, avec le sourire. C'est vieux comme décor, & on pourrait se demander comment la cuisine est tenue. Mais on passe, parce que c'est BON. Je vais y retourner bientôt, ça me rappelle tellement des souvenirs d'enfance. Il y en avait un sur Ste-Catherine, près de Guy, autrefois.

De loin le meilleur poulet BBQ. les prix sont très abordables, les portions généreuses & des vrais frites le tout dans un décor nostalgique. Le poulet chez Chalet BBQ c'est un peu comme un smoke meat chez Schart's, ça vaut le détour. Arriver tôt si vous êtes à court de temps pour le diner. Bon appétit...
