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 meilleure rôtisserie au Québec. Le poulet, les frites & la salade de chou sont tout simplement imbattables. Aussi bon que le Laurier BBQ qui est aujourd'hui disparu. Un incontournable à Montréal. ❤?

Great food. However, if you order delivery, you may not always receive what you ordered

Montréal institution. The OG of Quebec BBQ chicken. All the ubiquitous chicken chains around the province (dare I say Canada?), come from this place.

Stepping into it is like time traveling 70 years in the past. Wood everywhere, not very bright, original everything it seems.

Even if the food was mediocre, the atmosphere alone could be worth it for some people. But here, he food is actually good.

I didn't grow up with it, it actually took me over a decade of living in Montreal to try it. Some people say it's an acquired taste. Don't listen to them. This is simple, perfectly cooked roasted chicken on charcoals. It comes with a flavorful cup of BBQ sauce. This is not your St-Hubert BBQ sauce, or worse, Swiss Chalet. It's not brown salted water. This one actually has some oomph, you can taste the warm & comforting spices. It reminds me of a Christmas cookie for some reason.

Finally, the fries. Delicious. Maybe a bit greasy, but I liked them.

Go pay them a visit.

Just going to say it: best rotisserie chicken in Montreal.

I love this place. Give me a quarter chicken with fries & sauce & my day is instantly great (or great-er, even)!

Thanks to the team for being a Montreal staple that always delivers on delicious flavour & high quality. You guys rock!

It was my first time at Chalet BBQ, & our waitress Tina was absolutely fantastic. She was so welcoming, warm, & gave us the best service ever. I'll definitely be coming back just because of how wonderful Tina is!

Franchement déçu par la qualité du poulet & par le service. Première & dernière fois! On étaient de passage, on a pris pour emporter. On entrent & il faut commander à l'arrière du restaurant, dans le chaos de la cuisine... La fille qui prend la commande ne comprends pas quand je parle français.... C'est pas sa langue maternelle, c'est évident! À la caisse pour payer, la dame qui est là est assise & fait les comptes. Ça lui a pris un temps pour réaliser qu'on étaient là. Se lève, attrape notre facture. Pas de bonjour, pas de sourires! Retourne à ses factures. C'est la patronne? J'espère que non! Restaurant vieillot. Pas invitant. Notre nourriture était correcte; rien d'extraordinaire.... Ils n'égalent pas Benny's dans la qualité.

Chalet BBQ has always been a Montreal classic, but it's not quite what it used to be. The chicken doesn't have that nice crispy skin anymore, & instead of falling off the bone like it once did, it sometimes feels undercooked or just not cooked quite right. The fries can be hit or miss - sometimes decent, other times not nearly as good as years ago. On the plus side, the service & decor are still fine, but overall the food quality isn't what it once was.
