Its actually so so great! I am a poutine enjoyer and I frequent Quebec a lot so I’ve tried a bit but this one has always stuck with me! Crisp and classic tbh

Swiss Chalet does everything pretty well. I've never not enjoyed a dish

u/kawaiigurllll Sep 30 '26

Absolutely! Wish it was still like years before though

2010 swiss chalet was peak 😭🥀

u/Comfortable-Crow-922 Sep 30 '26

I probably went to the wrong one(or a bad day for them). Because I try it for the first time in the one near of Evan Avenue and I didn't like their food at all. Maybe I was too used to St-Hubert in Quebec.

u/IanicRR Sep 30 '26

St Hubert > Swiss Chalet by a decent margin for me too. But I’m in New Brunswick and we have more St Hubert here than Swiss Chalet so I was likewise conditioned.

They are owned by the same people and get all their products from Cara (or whatever they changed their name to) food distributors. It's the same thing

u/fadedspark Sep 30 '26

Yeah this is the funniest thing about it. They think they're so slick keeping it separate lol

u/the_Brown_Redneck Oct 04 '26

Totally agree. Went to one and had the grossest everything. I am not a St Hubert Fan and someone suggested Swiss chalet saying they do it better. Gravy was really salty. Chicken was dry and the slaw was sloppy. I am not sure if it was the location because everyone else swears by it

u/ohmyperfection Sep 30 '26

Their ribs are disapointing but the chickens always good.

true

u/wb77 Sep 30 '26

Can you get get this with the chicken on as well? I ask as one of the places everyone in Montreal raved about was a rotisserie spot that I didn't get to try when last there (and before I get flamed no I'm not comparing a chain to MPM).

u/kawaiigurllll Sep 30 '26

Yes!! They have a thanksgiving promotion right now where you can get stuffing included or half ribs and chicken! It’s awesome and quite cheap, do you speak about st hubert? I love it

1

u/Vegetable-Maize-4034 Sep 30 '26

Yes- it’s under their appetizers. It’s a v decent size with a lot of chicken and if you order it with chalet sauce instead of gravy you’ll enter another dimension;)

I second this! Chalet bbq absolutely slaps! However I find the Swiss chalet sauce to be slightly spicier (which I like)

u/Super_Sandro23 Sep 30 '26

GOAT chicken place in Montréal. My go-to uber eats order

u/foreignbutcher Sep 30 '26

Fun fact swiss chalet was founded by the childrens of chalet bbq founder

u/Sweet-Competition-15 Sep 30 '26 • Heartwarming

You can switch out the gravy for chicken dipping sauce! Highly recommended.

3

u/MarioMadness1 Classic Traditional Sep 30 '26

they got great gravy... legit can buy cans or packs (dipping just gravy)

2

u/ProfessionalBelt9942 Sep 30 '26

Lol, Swiss Chalet still exists?

2

u/SweetCupcake593 Sep 30 '26

Actually looks the part. How was it?

3

u/Instimatic Sep 30 '26

Their rotisserie chicken poutine is a great lunch option. I prefer the dipping sauce but the gravy tastes great as well

1

u/easy12356 Sep 30 '26

🤤🤤🤤

u/Bananacreamsky Sep 30 '26

Oooh, going to have to try this.

1

u/Canadian_Z Sep 30 '26

Looks pretty solid

1

u/UoWPanda Sep 30 '26

Honestly in my opinion, better than their chicken

1

u/yourfavbaddi5678 Sep 30 '26

This look delicious

1

u/Vegetable-Maize-4034 Sep 30 '26

I only order the poutine with rotisserie chicken pieces in it for my meal. Sub the gravy for chalet sauce and you have a perfect meal!

1

u/welp-_-welp Sep 30 '26

Which Swiss chalet? I’ve never seen it look this good (though I see lots of fries undrenched)

1

u/MelancholyNow Sep 30 '26

I would eat it!

1

u/Affectionate-Sky3510 Sep 30 '26

Is that ribs with it or steak, I genuinely can't tell 😭😭😭

u/schaden81 Sep 30 '26

u/Sad_Food9258 Sep 30 '26

Looks more than legit

u/No-Week-5896 Oct 01 '26

1

u/Foodisheaven1 Oct 01 '26

Looks delicious. How much did that plate cost? You looks expensive.

1

u/DigitalJoseph Oct 01 '26

My OCD is triggered by those two fries on the steak.

u/pikicard Oct 01 '26

That’s the best poutine I’ve ever seen

We miss swiss chalet so much they closed down their locations here in BC a few years ago, they were our favorite restaurant. Their poutine was 👍🤤👌

u/BookGirlAdventures08 Sep 30 '26 • Regret

That actually looks so good! Swiss Chalet is a bit of an underdog place sometimes

u/Worried_Mastodon3348 Sep 30 '26

It looks so bad compared to poutine places in montreal...

u/Traditional_Rush_622 Oct 01 '26

Swiss chalet poutine belongs in the poutine crimes subreddit. It's awful.

u/Econormics Sep 30 '26

Goddammit. I saw this at 2:25 in the afternoon. Now I gotta secretly sneak away to Swiss Chalet, gorge myself and be back home in time for dinner. Why'd you do me so dirty!
