Farewell, 2021 - New Year's Eve at Chartier

At long last, 2021 is coming to an end.

This is a year that deserves a true celebration to mark the incredible obstacles we've been able to overcome as a community, and we'd love to host you for an incredible evening of food and drink.

Chef Tamara Solon and Chef Travis Golbeck have curated an incredible 4 course set menu that highlights the producers and farmers who worked tirelessly over the past year to ensure that we had the absolute best product available for our guests. We'll be showcasing grain fed/finished beef from Redtail Farms, pastured chicken from Lazy T Farms, lamb from Lady's Hat Farms, garlic from Fifth Gen Gardens, and so much more!

The cost is $85/person, which includes a Prosecco toast and four courses that will soothe your soul and prepare you for the night of celebration that lies ahead of you. Three seating times are available, each with a two hour reservation time (with the exception of our 9pm seating - you get to party with us allll night long!) Click here to book your table on December 31st, and scroll down to see the full menu available that evening.

Not feeling up for leaving the house? We’ve still got you covered. Check out some of our NYE pre order options including a two person grazing box, a cheese fondue kit, and a cheesy bread bowl dip.

We so look forward to hosting you for the last service of 2021!

Chartier Will Be Participating in the Restrictions Exemptions Program

Confused on the new guidelines for restaurants and bars? That's fair - it’s all a bit murky.

We’ve prepared some easy to read slides based on what we know so far - if you have questions please don't hesitate to reach out via email prior to your visit at sylvia@dinechartier.com

Remember, we're fighting a virus - not each other! XO

We Are Closed For Now (But Not Forever)

As COVID-19 case counts reach new heights across the province, our Chartier family has taken a hit this week. 

We have a second confirmed case on our team, and many others now identified as close contacts through school, extra curricular activities, and home life who are isolating while they await test results. 

Like so many Albertans, the side effects of increased COVID-19 numbers are coming at us from all angles. 

And so, it is with heavy hearts that we've made the tough decision to voluntarily close our doors until our team has had a chance to recover, and we feel it’s safe to welcome you back.

We’re so grateful for our incredible guests, farmers, producers, and teammates who have supported our COVID health and safety strategy over the past 14 months. 

Decisions like this one feel painful, scary, and emotional - but are instrumental in ensuring we all make it to the other side of this pandemic. We're taking the steps we can to keep people safe and healthy -- and we hope all of you are too. This joint effort is more important now than ever.

We'll be back as soon as we can, but in the meantime we’re going to rest. 

Stay safe, stay well, and we’ll see you soon.

Much Love,

The Chartier Family
