La Maison du Rôti

What La Maison du Rôti does

La Maison du Rôti is a Montreal-based, family-owned butcher and gourmet grocery retailer founded in 1969, operating a hybrid physical-retail and direct-to-consumer e-commerce model. The company sells a catalog of 679+ products spanning red meat (beef, pork, veal, lamb, game), poultry, seafood, house-made French-style charcuterie (sausage, terrines, rillettes, foie gras), ready-to-eat meals prepared by Chef Marcel, artisan cheeses, pantry staples, Quebec wines and microbrewery beers, and bakery/dessert items. Its proprietary operational asset is a company-owned refrigerated delivery fleet that maintains cold-chain integrity from the butcher counter to the customer's door across Greater Montreal.

The business runs on a Shopify e-commerce storefront (maisonduroti.com) supplemented by a single physical boutique at 1969 Avenue Mont-Royal Est in the Plateau Mont-Royal neighborhood, plus phone-ordering capability. Revenue mechanics are straightforward one-time product sales, with unit prices ranging from roughly $3 to over $300, a $12 delivery fee for orders under $100 (waived above $100), and next-day refrigerated delivery for orders placed before midnight. Marketing is concentrated in organic social (Facebook, Instagram), an email newsletter, and a "Dollar Rôti" referral program that issues $5 credits to advocates.

The company is privately held with no disclosed funding, parent entity, or institutional investors, and has operated continuously at the same location for over 55 years. Geographic reach is limited to the Greater Montreal area for delivery, while the physical store draws foot traffic from the surrounding Plateau Mont-Royal neighborhood. No third-party logistics, marketplace presence, or wholesale channel is indicated in the source material.
