The 38 Best Restaurants in Montreal, Canada | Eater

"Montreal sure loves its rotisserie chicken; ask anyone who does it best, and there’s a more-than-good chance Chalet Bar-B-Q will land near the top of the list. With over 80 years to its name, this true NDG landmark is famous for its slowly spit-roasted bird, and gravy so good some diners sip it straight. Opened by Swiss immigrant Marcel Mauron, the old-school, wood-paneled rotisserie on Sherbrooke Street is the real deal and has changed little over the years — and that’s part of why local lifers love it. The standard play is a chicken dinner with fries, a toasted bun, and a side of tangy coleslaw, but don’t sleep on the poutine or the hot chicken, a traditional Quebecois dish of chicken, sliced white bread, and peas, all soaked in gravy. Vibe check: No frills, like it’s always been." - Valerie Silva
