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!
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.
The best place for chicken in Montreal. Moist, juicy & the sauce, the best. The decor & the waitress uniform is like going back in time.
My best memory is bringing my grandmother back there a few years ago, as she lived on Girouard street in the 1950s, she said the recipe has not changed.
I was finally able to try out this local rotisserie, & it is fairly comparable to the others in the neighborhood or the larger chains. The menu is a little more limiting as it is only chicken, they specialize & they make a great rotisserie chicken, so you go here to have that. I would say that I did not love the gravy as much as other places & they do not include coleslaw in their take out order. I did find the chicken to be quite good, the leg or breast meal is probably what to go for as the hot chicken was less good when taken out. I did like that they deliver in a box, no cloth bags & that they only include cutlery when requested, so some nice eco practices. The delivery was also very fast. Overall, it is a good place to order from, very similar to the bigger chains but local.
My parents brought me here back in the early 70s, & I've loved it every year since. Took my wife & her mom yesterday; it was amazing, just like always. Never a bad experience. Best BBQ chicken in Montreal.
Takes me back to the old days (70s & 80s). Food is old school & comforting, service is always friendly & the atmosphere is like stepping into a time machine (in a good way).
