| - Had the "Boite Surprise" ("Surpise Box") which I'm told used to be called the "Choix du Chef" ("Chef's Choice") and it did not disappoint. It indeed was a surprise. I guess they changed the name so any disappointed customers wouldn't blame the Chef.
Quarter chicken leg meal... more like a QUARTER BOX meal since the piece was so small, that's how much space it took up in the take out container, which by the way contained a tray that was tapered at the bottom. Found the chicken to be saltier than other roast chicken places. Maybe they marinate it in brine before roasting. The downside is that salt is its predominant flavour. The fries were crispy and actually not bad. Switched the salad for an extra gravy which I didn't really need but this man needs meat, not salad, and he got neither. Still, for those with decent appetites or meat lovers, pay for the more expensive chicken breast meal instead. After all, there's no time to eat lunch twice.
Overall, something different from the Swiss Chalet I'm used to but seeing since there must be some anti-competitive agreement (no St. Hubert in Ontario, no Swiss Chalet in Quebec) between the companies, it's likely Quebecers are stuck with whatever St. Hubert decides to dish out.
Prices are a little on the expensive side but simply put where else are you going to go for chain restaurant roast bird.
P.S. From what I've been told, that mysterious one half hamburger bun comes from the fact that it used to be a whole hamburger bun being used as the bread portion of the meal, until the company cut back and started giving one half the amount.
