The Best BBQ Chicken

Congratulations to Chalet BBQ for once again being named, The Best BBQ Chicken in Montreal. If you have never been to Chalet BBQ, you are really missing something. I was there again last Friday night and it was as good as ever.

A little context...
For those of you that are having a tough time understanding what product I am going on about, BBQ Chicken from Chalet BBQ is a classic rotisserie chicken. Their competitors include Swiss Chalet, Cote St Luc BBQ and St. Hubert. However while they may say that they serve the same product its like saying that a college team can play against the big leagues. Chalet BBQ is just that much better.

Decor
The decor hasn't changed since the 1950s. Yes, it is nothing pretty but frankly it doesn't matter because the chicken is amazing. I think some of the waitresses have worked there since it opened in the 50s but don't let that deter you. They are so friendly that you feel as though you're being served by your great Aunt Hilda, minus the cheek pinching and the guilt trip about not having visited in 5 years. Not to mention that these ladies are quick so you don't have to wait long at all.

Price
Extremely reasonable. You pay less than $8 for your quarter chicken meal with fries, sauce, bun and cole slaw. Its even less if you go at lunch or have dark meat.

Final Words
Chalet BBQ is a Montreal institution of the same order as Lafleur's or Schwartz's except with friendly service. It is a food experience that is not to be missed when you come to town.
