| - In some quarters, Swiss Chalet is nearly the state religion of Canada. It's a sit down restaurant, offering a decent chicken meal, nice portions, and prices aren't bad. Christmas they throw in a bit of candy and the blue haired set goes wild. Wild.
So a chicken restaurant like Nando's is going to be fairly compared against the Chalet.
All 'n' all it's a nice chicken place when you're bored of the Chalet. You get a spice option: mild (aka lemon and herb, medium, hot, and some kind of suicide hot level).
I tried the quarter chicken mild. My "date" (ahhhh my great unrequited love from high school... thank you magic of Facebook!) took it spicy. In my nervousness I kind of forgot to ask her what she thought of it.
The Perri fries (a seasoned fry way better than that horrid crap Harvey's tried to sling on us years back) are quite good. The chicken, ostensibly done in the Portuguese/Kenny Rogers Roasters way, was nice 'n' juicy and a bit different.
Seating is a bit tight and the place seems to get quite packed by 8 pm. It's in that Heartland outlet shopping big box Elysium minicity place in Mississauga and probably makes for a good way to wind up a post-work day shopping expedition.
It's also a decent non-threatening place to meet your old high school unrequited love. It's not romantic, it's just clean, and if she lets you pay it's not like you're dropping $80 on her and you're going to demand she pays the piper.
Oh yeah it's on the north west side of the intersection.
