COME ROAST THE CHICKS!

Tucked away between Queen's Road Central & Jervois Street, next to a quaint set of stairs on Hillier Street is La Rotisserie ... where chicks, honest to goodness French chicks, are roasted.


The sales pitch is imported French poultry, not the Bresse variety but nonetheless finger-licking-good. These are Picalou chicks roasted in a rotisserie in all her glory front and center, the costliest investment no doubt, the raison d'etre. Our eldest, Terri, introduced us to this newcomer. La Rotisserie is a genuine article where their products resemble what you might expect from the back alleys of Paris ... juicy flesh, crispy skin, with perfect seasoning. 'No chicken is good chicken without salt' ... my cooking school speak. To press the point, they even co-market with Le Creuset, the 'Mother' of cast iron cookware, which they use to prepare the classic trimmings.

The high end pitch, however, jives well with the affordable prices. 1/4 chick is $50, 1/2 $90 and a whole chick $150 ... and to target business from neighboring offices the Set Lunch of 1/4 chick, a side dish, plus choice of homemade soup or ice-tea is only $68.

All products are home made and MSG free.  Value-for-Money here, so, hurry up!
