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.

This place is a staple for BBQ chicken.
The staff is always nice.
But their prices have gone up considerably.

This is my tenth Google review. I started on a whim one day & I enjoy it! Happy you are taking the time to read this one. It is a special place for my 10th! Chalet BBQ! It's on Sherbrooke street in NDG just off the Decarie. A real true montreal historical chicken institution. Some where you go with your parents after a great hockey game & it just feels like home. The memories! ...
The food is even better than a description can give. The chicken is soooooo juicy & the flavor from the rotisserie process leaves the meat with a beautiful... je ne sais pas... I would say it's kissed with deliciousness 😋 lol...
Check out the photos. Order the special table d'hote. That's French for'order me'. It is a 1/4 chicken plus fries, sauce, bread & Cole slaw or soup. Both are awesome. Extra charges for breast but it's worth it. Always go for the breasts my dad used to say 😆 ...

If you go & follow my reviews, please leave a like & a 🙏 or a ❤? or a 🍆 & a 🍑 ... leave something funny. Tell everyone #jackbrown9120 sent you & win a prize 🏆 ... for real #spicyadventuresKTOWN & #beastgaming88 are for real ... 😳

Update 2025:
On s'est fait servir par quelqu'un d'autre, & l'expérience était moins agréable. On s'est sérieusement ennuyés de Louise!

Un classique. Meilleure sauce en ville. Louise est particulièrement chaleureuse, merci pour le service!

Sans prétention, cet endroit n'a pas changé depuis des dizaines d'années. Pour amateurs de poulet rôti uniquement! Le meilleur en ville dans sa catégorie. Bien meilleur que St-Hubert. La sauce & les frites maison sont aussi délicieuses!

I live in Bondi Beach Australia & it's been 20 years since my last visit there. Of course I made a beeline for Chalet BBQ & it was miraculously as good as I remember it. I hope it still is today. My sister & I, who grew up near the restaurant located on Decarie used to be taken there on special occasions. I still remember the motto,'When chicken such as this is served, A person never lingers, He sets aside his knife & fork & eats it with his fingers'. Oh for a taste of that gravy. I search longingly online to see if there will ever be a recipe. I may never make it back to Montreal in my lifetime & it saddens me to think I'll never taste one chip dipped in gravy again or piece of that amazing barbecue chicken. Someone post a recipe!!

Small piece of chicken & I didn't like the sauce. Also employees shouldn't talk in front of the customers about how unhappy they are about their shilts etc.
