Since 1954, Swiss Chalet has been a beloved Canadian institution, serving our signature rotisserie chicken to generations of families. What began as a single restaurant in Toronto has grown into one of Canada's most recognized and trusted dining establishments, with hundreds of locations across the country.
Our founder, Rick Mauran, brought his Swiss heritage and passion for quality food to Canada, creating a restaurant that would combine European precision with warm Canadian hospitality. His original rotisserie chicken recipe, paired with the secret Chalet Sauce, quickly became a national favorite and remains largely unchanged to this day.
Despite our growth over the decades, we've maintained our commitment to quality, freshness, and value. Every Swiss Chalet restaurant still slow-roasts chicken in specialized rotisserie ovens, ensuring that perfect balance of juicy meat and crispy skin that our customers have come to expect.
