| - The Chalet BBQ Restaurant located at 5456 Sherbrooke Street West in NDG is a long-standing rotisserie in Montreal. They have been in business since 1944 and at the same location for as long as I can remember. I do recall a second location located on Decarie Boulevard, but it has long since closed.
The dining room decor consists of rustic wood panelling with red leather cushioned booths that can seat any group or number of people. They also offer a very brisk take-out and delivery service located in the rear of the restaurant. Additionally, they rent rooms and cater parties, team sporting event banquets and wedding receptions. I have attended many a wedding reception and banquet here over the years.
If you like rotisserie style chicken there is no better place in Montreal. The leg or breast meals are served with either baked potato or French fries, BBQ sauce, a toasted bun and a choice of either coleslaw or tomato juice. They also serve great desserts such as Boston cream pie and apple pie. What is truly delightful about Chalet BBQ is you always get what you came for, excellent rotisserie chicken, excellent fries and a BBQ sauce that is drinkable. In fact, I recall as a young boy my friends and I would go on extremely cold winter days just to buy the BBQ sauce and drink it like a hot beverage! I usually have the leg dinner special and always get out for under $20, tip included.
Finally, It's worth a visit just to see some of the waitresses juggle up to three plates on their arms as they navigate the restaurant serving their meals. I have yet to see one of them lose a plate. Some have been here as long as I have been frequenting this restaurant which has been for over four decades now. God bless them, I don't know how they do it but they always have a smile on their faces and a nice word when I visit. Great customer service and a veritable Montreal landmark!
