What an awesome find!! We had a fabulous brunch this Saturday morning. So fabulous, I have not one thing to grumble about. We were greeted promptly and friendly at the front door. Despite the time of week, we were immediately seated, served hot delicious coffee and had our order taken. Brunch arrived quickly, was hot and tasty. MacKenzie,our waitress, couldn't have been better. Thank you for the terrific service. Five stars in every department. read more

Quaint. Reasonably priced. Both excellent food and service. It was our 8th wedding anniversary, which I mentioned in the lunch reservation. When we came in and sat down there was a card wishing us a happy anniversary and thanking us for spending some time with them. On our way out other servers made us feel extra special by also congratulating us. I was very surprised that they would care enough to spread the news around. Our food was fantastic, an our server, Heather was polite genuine and engaging. Loved the food. Sandwiches were so yummy. We will be back. Thank you Chartier. read more

I had a great time at this restaurant with my brother. The food tends to be on the rich side but it's absolutely delicious. I'd just warn that my eyes are always bigger than my stomach when I go here! read more

This was my second visit to Chartier and we had a lovely evening. The service was exceptional, the food was delicious. A great place for some awesome comfort food. read more

Not sure what all the hype is. Booked on line was looking forward to poutine and French Canadian flare menu. No where online when booking did it say only Mother's Day brunch available on a Saturday, not even Mother's Day. When has Mother's Day become Mother's Day weekend, sounds like a cash grab to me. At 45$ a plate it wAs very average. The food was good but a very basic buffet. Lots of choices but basic choices: Eggs, potatoes, crepes, omelettes(wait in line),bacon, sausages, mushroom soup, cheese and meat counter with pastries and a couple salads. Presentation was well done. It was good food (nothing over the top or spectacular) but disappointing for 45$ a plate. Nothing French Canadian or Quebec flare about this brunch menu with the exception of the plain crepes(add your own toppings available). Totally over priced for what was there. Atmosphere was really nice staff was awesome! read more

very cozy and nice place, but service was not as good. had to wait a long time before getting food. but overall, a great place :)

Just tried out Chartier for the first time tonight and I must say I was fully blown away. Literally the best place I have ever eaten. It started out with being greeted by friendly staff and taken to our table. The atmosphere was very rustic and comfortable. We had an amazing waitress Samantha who was not only friendly but approached helping us make our meal selection with a level of excitement I don't recall seeing from a waitress before. She was very skilled at making us feel at home. But putting the atmosphere of the restaurant aside I would still eat there because the food alone is amazing!!! We started with an appetizer called charcuterie which was a meat, cheese and bread board with various preserves as well. All of the above were delicious and went together great on every combination I was able to think of. Next I had the tourtière which was incredible the sides that went with it were perfect compliments to it (including the Brussel sprouts and to put that in perspective I hate Brussel sprouts) my mother who I went with had beef bourguignon and I got a bite of it and it outright blew me away. And I finished it off with a dessert called the pear dream which was wonderfully light. I honestly don't think I can sum it up better than my mouth found God. Steve Brochu the head chef is absolutely brilliant. You must try this place. read more

Awesome brunch in Beaumont at Chartier. So much amazing food and they even did up a special birthday cake.

The food is good, the service charming, the decor fun. The volume is loud on a Saturday night, the portions small, the place is busy. The ambiance is fun, friendly and quirky. What's with the no major labels of pop? Was there the first week it opened, and bugs were being worked out. Went again recently, and it was much smoother. Will go again for sure. read more

Very professional and attentive staff. Very impressed with the food and ambiance of the room. The manager Ally went above and beyond for us tonight. We definitely recommend! read more

Great atmosphere and the rustic decor is lovely. Food was amazing and came out in good time. Service was great and drinks were top notch. Can't wait to go back read more

This place was not what I expected! From the website description, I expected an upscale restaurant, quiet and elegant, but it turned out to be more of a pub atmosphere. The lounge had loud music playing, and since it is separated from the dining room only by a railing, guess what.... LOUD everywhere!! Décor is attractive. Heavy wooden posts and beams in the dining area. There was some mild consternation when the people at the next table got up to leave, and one of the gentlemen banged his head on an angled post... Food is French-Canadian themed with small plates as appetizers and a selection of entrees. featuring poutine and variations. Prices seemed somewhat pricy; I mean poutine is potatoes, gravy and cheese curd.... Our waitress was very helpful, knew her menu and the dishes on it, and made suggestions to help us out. I started with the "Tomarrow" soup. A bowl of rather plain tomato soup accompanied by some small "brioche" and some marrow roasted in the bone with garlic on top. There was a small spoon to mash the garlic into the marrow and spread on the bread, but it was rather a tasteless addition to the soup. A simpler version of some well-seasoned tomato soup variation would have been preferable. The entrée made up for the soup! The tourtiere was very well done! Flavourful and with a side helping of a very tasty broccoli salad with a delightful smoky flavour. I would gladly have it again! Other entrees at our table were the flank steak, which had a pleasing taste of maple syrup throughout, and of course, the poutine, which was quite ordinary. A very middle-of-the-road dining experience! read more

The Poutine is awesome - HUGE portion. 1 order for 2-3 pp as a side or an appetizer. The staff were very accommodating as my daughter wanted a sandwich but her mouth was sore from her braces. Staff is very friendly! read more

My sister and I came for brunch and it was absolutely delicious! We sat at the bar because the restaurant was full and the service was great! read more

This is a cute place with interesting decor and atmosphere. I had the omelette, which was tasty but nothing extraordinary. The fresh bread was absolutely yummy though. All in all was a lovely breakfast. read more

Nice atmosphere but at least 5 flies flying around inside the restaurant. The coffee cups were not cleaned completely but coffee was not bad. Server did not offer to refill my coffee when she clearly saw I was halfway done my coffee. Waters were refilled though as soon as the glasses were empty. As for brunch, the salmon benedict was mediocre at best. Nothing special. The $17 bread and pork belly dish only had three small pieces of pork. It was too sweet I could only eat 1/4 of it before feeling grossed out of the dish. I would never come back from brunch. Maybe brunch is not their specialty? Maybe I'll try lunch and dinner. Definitely not coming back for brunch. read more

This place has a great reputation for good reason. The atmosphere is rustic chic and you would feel comfortable dressed up or casual. I loved everything I had. Our server was great helping us choose a wine by offering samples and answering any questions about the menu. Some items like bone marrow I'm not adventurous enough to try but we started with the homemade bread & butter and mushroom toast, which was very good. I had the Beef Bourgeon and ate every bit of it. One person at our table was admittedly a fussy eater and the chief came and spoke to her personally to adjust the sides to her prime rib dinner. She loved it and found out she loves truffle butter too. My husband is also a fussy eater and didn't love the leeks on the cod. For dessert my husband had the blueberry pie, which was a small entire pie crafted to perfection! I must come back to try the poutine and cocktail creations! read more

Always amazing food and great service. You can tell this restaurant really cares about their customers through the level of service and the thought that goes into the menu selections, both drink and food. They support local, and their bread window is amazing if you get chance to stop by on the weekend. Delicious fresh baking that changes daily. I grew up in Beaumont but live in the city, and this restaurant is definitely a favourite of mine. As my partner is celiac, they have always been very accommodating and can modify most of the items on their menu. read more

We have been to a Chartier several times being fortunate to live in Beaumont. Most recently we attended "burger night" . The French onion burger, chicken burger and the classique we all fabulous ! Keep up the great work Chartier! read more

Honestly, Chartier was the best meal I've had in a long time. I had the salmon with gnocchi as my main, the bread to start, and cheesecake for dessert. My wife comes from an Italian family, so I've eaten all kinds of gnocchi. Chartier beat them all, hands down. The salmon was amazing, the dessert was great. Chartier exceeded all of my expectations. I'd highly recommend them! read more

Overall, the meal was done well. The only issue was that the charcuterie plate was fairly lacking in variety. I probably wouldn't go there again unless I could order a la carte. read more

This is a marvellous gem and easier for south siders to get to than downtown. The food is innovative, fresh and beautifully prepared. The setting is relaxed but trendy - a good vibe. Our server was a perfect combination of professional and friendly. We weren't rushed at all. There are big windows in the front which we're told they open in the summer. Can't wait to try it in the summer, and also try their brunch which looks fabulous. I highly recommend Chartier! read more

The food was really delicious and the portions were quite large. It's very nicely decorated, very charming. Service was really good. My only complaint is that it was sweltering hot in there. I don't know if they don't have ac or if it was broken, but it was very uncomfortable. read more

We really liked the lemon/ egg combination on brunch menu. Also- the servers did an excellent job of answering my questions regarding craft cocktails. Thank you, Chartier. read more

Service was great and the atmosphere too. Food was a bit over cooked. Overall i would recommend this place.

The restaurant itself not as nice as we would have thought it to be given all the hype reviews. Lots of shorts, t-shirts and ball caps as attire so no need to change to dine here. The green beans on the rib-eye steak dish were cold. We sent the dishes back and they returned as they should be with appropriate apologies. Tiny bit of bread to go with the oyster/clam appetizer. Asked for more which was brought. Much to later dismay, was charged for :( Main dishes were fine if unspectacular. Duck and pancake dinner a definite miss although highly recommended by waitstaff. No decaf coffee to be had. Out of blueberry pie. Served dessert with joke souvenir tiny spoons claiming that was all they had. Scooping lemon dessert from mason jar with baby spoons did not leave a good taste in our mouths for the whole experience. Mostly good food. Probably would not return. read more

Run, do not walk, to Chartier. Our group of six had the pleasure of dining there on a bustling Saturday evening and we are already planning our next evening there. I should say from the outset that we were a complicated group: many allergies and dietary restrictions. We wrote to the restaurant ahead of time to ask if our restrictions could be accommodated and the entire staff was open and responsive, modifying existing menu items for sensitivities to wheat, onions, soy, and dairy. The chef even offered to make a special dish for some of us. We ended up declining the offer only because he was so open to making minor changes to the very appealing existing dishes. The results--both the regular and modified items--were outstanding. The smoked flank steak was perfectly cooked and beatifully flavored with diced bacon, vegetables and a reduction; the beef tartare was out of this world; even the bread and butter were sublime. Several of us chose (and loved) the very rich beef bourguignon and more wishes they had selected the inventive savory pumpkin pie. (Me, I'm going back for the lobster at some point). Those of us who enjoyed dessert went for the tarte au sucre (with perfectly tender crust and smooth filling) and the hot chocolate (decadently chocolatey with homemade marshmallows). The service was attentive without ever being overbearing and every part of our dining experience was simply a treat. For me, Chartier ranks as high on my list of favorite Edmonton restaurants as Corso 32 and Uccellino (albeit with a very different and more casual vibe). If you love a fantastic restaurant, this place is for you. read more

Food was ok but nothing out of expectation. My steak was oddly cool. I had ordered medium steak and got medium rare if not rare which is fine i didn't mind just not what i ordered. Poutine was really good though. Service was slow. Ambiance was a little loud for my liking. Staff was really nice and knew menu well. read more

Awesome experience that you won't find anywhere else . The atmosphere is friendly, exuberant and everyone is there to make the experience great. The food is delicious and exquisitely presented , nothing ordinary on the menu. Laughter and good will filled the restaurant . We will definitely return again and again . read more

Excellent service and venue is wonderful. Lunch had smaller plates but were tasty. Yes will go again for dinner.

Absolutely fabulous food, the poutine was amazing, the beef bourguignon was delicious and the creme brûlée was to die for! Great job all around, the ambiance is fabulous, with a beautiful rustic charm. I will be back over and over:-) read more

Great food, great staff, wonderful atmosphere. Excited to have such a great restaurant in our town. Loved it and can't wait to try the brunch. read more

This is probably my favorite place to go in Beaumont for a nice brunch, lunch, dinner, or just for drinks. Their Ginger Mead is most definitely my favorite drink! For lunch I had the Montreal Smoked Meat sandwich which was absolutely to die for! I went with my family for dinner and we had the seafood feature of the day, the beef bourgonion, and the Roseau poutine de la mer...all of us were pretty much licking our plates clean! They have a great selection of wines, house cocktails, port, etc. I can't wait to go back for more food! read more

My husband and I LOVE this restaurant. Amazing food and owners/staff. We've been there for brunch a few times (amazing lox and bagels), dinner a few times and we've gone later in the night for drinks and appies. We've never been disappointed (which is why we keep going back). The owners and chefs will do whatever is possible to accommodate a request outside of the menu. If you're looking to try craft beers they have a great selection. Everything (breads, meats, desserts) is made in house and amazing. A fantastic gem for Beaumont. read more

Went to Chartier last Tuesday with a big group. Loved the decor and the hostess was very friendly and welcoming. The server explained the wonderful wine menu very well (they serve Old World wines... love that!!) We even got to sample the wine before ordering which was nice. We started with a Charcuterie Board that was outstanding. Home made pates, pickle cucumbers, hot grainy mustard, a fruit compote, amazing aged gouda etc. WITH some amazing bread!! They make their own bread and you can even buy it from their bread window - LOVED that!! We tried the poutine which was good (but I'm not a lover of that stuff but it was flying out of the kitchen all night long, so it must be good) The tomato soup was a winner (I love soups and for me that really can showcase skills) The main courses were great but I stuck with a salad and finished the Charcuterie Board... The chef came out to ask how our dinner was which is always a nice touch. We def will be going again. read more

This place has great food and service. Fresh and tasty.

My husband and I went here for brunch this morning after reading several reviews and learning that it got it'd start on kickstarter, a site we frequent and often support. So we thought we would check it out. We weren't disappointed and will definitely be back. My husband had the duck and waffles. The duck was cooked to perfection and the massive waffles were light and fluffy. I had the scotch egg. Not an item you usually find in Alberta on the menu. It was delicious. Soft poached egg wrapped in mild sausage, and deep fried, served with homestyle hasbrowns, and arugula. As we were getting ready to leave we saw a plate size cinnamon bun go out to the patio, and so we had to order one to take home. Ask about the bread window that opens up at 11am. The staff were friendly, the portions huge, and the price modest. Looking for a place for brunch just a little bit different? Take the short journey out to Beaumont it's well worth the drive! read more

Excellent food with a serious French Canadian flair. Locally sourced, made from scratch gourmet (but not outrageous or presumptuous) food and I've not had better in Alberta. We had brunch and it was lovely, from the tastefully mismatched antique table settings to the up cycled barnboard on the walls, great staff and attentive service, and a wonderful small town feel. We'll be back often! read more

Worth the drive out from Edmonton. Very imaginative brunch menu and you can taste the homemade - I had the Scotch egg and it was almost too much but wth the help of my husband I polished my plate. Very nice personal service from the co-owner and charming wait-staff. The decor is fun - Urban meets Western. read more

This will be a quick and dirty review. The food was fantastic. We started with the Poutine and the Haricots Vert. They were both wonderful, although the beans were a bit on the sweet side. The wife loved the Hot Hamburger Sandwich, and for me the Beef Bourguignon was beautifully tender and well done. They had a number of very different cocktails.....way over priced for what you're getting. Just because they're a little different, does not mean that you can charge a 50% premium for it. I would not order any of them again just because of the price. The wife wanted a coke or pepsi, and then only had Cane Cola??? Very disappointing, and then the server did not make any suggestions aside from alcoholic drinks (obviously I would think that if you're asking for a coke, you don't want an alcohol drink). after asking about Iced Tea, lemonade etc, she settled for water, but then more than 1/2 way through dinner asked if they had Ginger Ale. Yup...so why didn't you suggest that in the first place? The service for food was incredibly slow. The waitress did apologize several times for the slow service, but blamed it on the large table of guests for slowing the kitchen. Afterwards however, it came out that it was because of the Chef's table....which should be an expected thing and should have been compensated for. We got there at 7pm and didn't finally leave until almost 10pm. Waaaay to long. Even paying the bill took forever. The room was nice looking, loved the rustic decor, however.....do something about the NOISE level. Way Way too noisy, could hardly hear (and the constant repetitive thumping noise coming out of their speakers did not help....very very annoying). People were practically yelling (some because that's the only way to hear, some because I believe they were drunk). They have regular tables and a bar in way too small a space. If you want to have that many tables, then get rid of the bar, and maybe it will cut down on the noise. Also, put in some ceiling tiles and perhaps wall covering with noise absorption. To summarize, loved the food. But with the extremely slow food service, and the horrific noise level, not sure I would go back. If I could get the same chef at a different restaurant, I'd be there in a heartbeat! read more
