St-Hubert is a privately held chain of Canadian casual dining restaurants best known for its rotisserie chicken. While it once had a presence throughout eastern Canada, it now has few locations outside its home province of Quebec, where it remains a dominant chain. Other locations are found in Ottawa, Cornwall, Bathurst, and Moncton.

St-Hubert is now generally mutually exclusive with the similar Swiss Chalet chain, which similarly exited the Quebec market in the early 2000s, although there is no formal agreement between the two. Following the closure or rebranding (as independent restaurants) of the chain's remaining Toronto-area locations over the past few years, the chains now only overlap in the Ottawa area, and in Moncton, New Brunswick.

The chain currently operates 80 full-service restaurants, as well as 15 St-Hubert Express locations, which are closer in style to fast food restaurants.

As of May 2, 2005, the company voluntarily adopted a smoke-free policy at all their locations, which states that all the company's restaurants in Canada must either create a smoking room, or institute a total ban on smoking.
