La Rotisserie is a small, but tidy rotisserie chicken joint. Just walking past this place and smelling the aromas wafting out of there tells you it's going to be a delicious meal. They have 2 large rotisserie machines spinning plump birds (imported from France no less) coated with a delicious seasoning that really makes one salivate. They offer 2 flavours of chicken, a traditional french one, and currently a mustard rubbed chicken. I have only tried the traditional one, and keep coming back for more of it! I tend to get a whole chicken (which they happily quarter for you and give you the back bones to make stock out of if you so desire), which is a reasonable 150hkd. They offer a set lunch which is a quarter chicken, a side dish, and a soup or iced tea. Most people I see get a mixture of the 3 sides (which on this day was lentils, mixed vegetables and chicken fat roast potatoes). The soup was a blended vegetable soup (I didn't remember to ask if it was vegetarian or not).
The chicken is always moist, succulent and juicy, and they always give you a little container of pan jus if you so want. There are 3 little bar seats, and a small table at this location so you could dine there if you wanted, but I'm not sure how comfortable it would be. The shop opens at noon, and there is generally a line shortly after, so if you were seated there, you might get bumped around a little bit.
In addition to these foods, they also do some sandwiches which are on baguettes that are partially cooked in France, frozen and shipped out here. I haven't tried them, but I'm sure they're quite good if they go to the trouble of importing bread. They also do quiches and a delicious looking chocolate tart. They offer some french treats likes madelines, calf terrine, fois gras pate, mustards and a few reasonably priced, but quite good wines.
This place serves up a delicious roast chicken, that keeps me returning every week, it's definitely on your must try list if you miss a sunday roast chicken! If I had 1 complaint (and it's a small one) is that they cover the chickens with foil while waiting to serer, which makes the skin lose it's crispiness.
