My week-long Toronto holiday (of eating) kicked off at the Canadian institution that is Swiss Chalet Rotisserie & Grill. There are at least 97 of these stores that I can count, and it has a humble rap for being an old peoples’ dining hall. Still, it has lots of fond memories for my host friend, so it was a perfect platform to start. We ordered a mix of starters: with stuffed garlic cheese loaf, rotisserie chicken spring rolls, as well as a main of the rotisserie chicken, and multiple plates of fries. There’s some great stuff here, the namesake Chalet sauce has tang, spice and zing. It went well with anything, and even on it’s own. I liked the seasoned fries, although they were curiously short. The chicken quarter was satisfactory and I can understand the comforts of such familiar food. Service was cosy, though the space feels a tad dated, as does some of the menu.
