Beaumont doesn’t need a french canadian dining room right now. But we certainly need comfort food.

While we weather this storm together, we’ve decided to shut down our dining room effective Monday, March 16th.

Instead, we’ll be bringing the food to you, so you can enjoy Chartier from the comfort and safety of your own home.

Every family and small business is facing tough choices right now, and it’s difficult to know what to do. This isn’t a decision we took lightly, but the best way we could think of to serve the families who trust us, and the families we employ.

At the end of the day, comfort food only feels good if you’re comfortable.

Together, we’ll get through this. #FOODISLOVE

FAQs

Q: Is there a dress code? It's Sunday. I usually don't wear pants on Sundays.
A: You do have to wear pants (AHS rules, not ours), but you don't have to be fancy. Jeans, sweatpants, housecoat - we won't judge.

Q: Is a full meal provided? Or just snacks?
A: We will be pairing each spirit with a small bite - this is a snack only and we'll wrap up in time for you to make it home for dinner.

Q: I didn't go to the last spirit night? Can I still join this time?
A: Hell yes. You don't have to come to every single one, just whenever the mood strikes you.
