About Swiss Chalet
Canada's favorite family restaurant, serving authentic comfort food with our famous rotisserie chicken since generations. We believe in bringing families together through the shared experience of exceptional food and warm hospitality.
Our Story
Swiss Chalet began as a family dream in the heart of Canada, inspired by traditional Swiss cooking methods and the desire to create a gathering place for communities. Our founders believed that great food brings people together, and that belief continues to guide us today.
From our first small restaurant to becoming a beloved Canadian institution, we've never forgotten our roots. Every rotisserie chicken is still prepared with the same care and attention to detail that made us famous decades ago.
We take pride in sourcing quality ingredients, supporting local suppliers, and maintaining the family-friendly atmosphere that has made Swiss Chalet a trusted name across Canada.
