Chalet Bar-B-Q

"With more than 80 years to its name, this true NDG landmark has won the hearts of multiple generations with its slowly spit-roasted birds and arguably unmatched dipping sauce. Opened by Swiss immigrant Marcel Mauron, the old-school, wood-paneled rotisserie on Sherbrooke Street has changed little over the years. The standard play is a chicken dinner with fries, a toasted bun, and an added side of coleslaw, but Chalet Bar-B-Q also serves an outstanding hot chicken, a traditional Quebecois dish of chicken, sliced white bread, and peas, all soaked in gravy." - Valerie Silva

"With over three-quarters of a century to its name, this NDG landmark has won over the hearts of multiple generations enamored with its spit-roasted bird and its arguably unmatched dipping sauce. Open daily, the old-timey, wood-paneled Sherbrooke Street haunt is also known to serve a mean hot chicken, a traditional Québécois dish of chicken, sliced white bread, and peas, all soaked in gravy." - Valerie Silva

"This NDG rotisserie has been spinning chicken since 1944, so you know they have the skills to pull off this Quebec staple of juicy sliced chicken on plain white bread, smothered in gravy and topped with peas. Elegant, it is not, but that’s why so many love it." - Valerie Silva, Tim Forster

"Any introductory spiel to the neighbourhood inevitably comes with effusive praise for the rotisserie chicken mainstay. Around since 1944, the wood-panelled interior and cushy booths are as inviting as ever, or there’s a back takeout window for quick getaways. There’s a reason they’re still in business: generous portions and a peppery gravy perfect for dousing on chicken, fries, and toast." - Erik Leijon

"This NDG mainstay pumps out rotisserie chickens at a rate that will make your head spin. With some of the friendliest waitresses in the business, there is not one, but two (!) party rooms to cater to almost every occasion. Open since 1944." - Ian Harrison, Joanna Fox, Tim Forster
