Chalet Bar-B-Q Rotisserie, Charcoal chicken restaurant in Côte-des-Neiges, Montreal, Canada.
Chalet Bar-B-Q Rotisserie is a chicken restaurant in Côte-des-Neiges that roasts birds slowly in brick ovens using real maple charcoal. The cooking process produces golden-brown skin and juicy meat that forms the core of everything served here.
This establishment opened in 1944 as the first restaurant in Montreal to roast chicken over charcoal in brick ovens. The method became the defining signature of the place and has remained unchanged through the decades.
The dining room reflects decades of local food traditions, with regulars and new visitors sharing the same tables and experience that has made this place part of the neighborhood. The no-frills approach keeps focus on the food and the social rhythm of a working restaurant.
The restaurant is open daily and offers both dine-in seating and takeout options for visitors who want to eat elsewhere. Free parking at the rear entrance makes it convenient for anyone arriving by car.
Every chicken is served with a peppery dipping sauce prepared according to a recipe that has never changed since opening day. This distinctive sauce is as central to the experience as the roasted bird itself.
