Very cosy place in the French section of Greater Edmonton. Interieur is a blend of a barn, log cabin and bar, but then food is served on porcelain from your French grandma in Europe. Delicious food. Friendly staff. Fast service. No American Express cards unfortunately. read more

What a little gem in Beaumont. The freshly baked sourdough paired with Foie Gras was amazing and the Beets Napoleon was absolutely delicious. I thoroughly enjoyed the Duck and Perogies which was a perfect blend of sweet and savoury. My husband had the Elk Shoulder on Mushroom Risotto, it was so tender and flavourful. I cannot believe what a nice little spot this is just a few minutes away from the city. read more

Wow what a great breakfast. Stopped in for a quick breakfast and it was spectacular. Not only was the food excellent, the service was well beyond great. Everyone was friendly and wanted you to enjoy your experience. Ate a great breakfast and took two cinnamon buns to go for the family. They were super big, soft and tasty. What a great find. read more

Really good fine dining without the attitude. The food is definitely on Point and the service is excellent. My waitress Brooklyn was amazing and provided one of the best dining experiences I had over my two weeks in the Edmonton area. The breakfast poutine was so good, with the egg cooked just right to flow out onto the poutine. If your in Beaumont or even in Edmonton it's worth the drive. read more

Chartier is simply magnifique! Everything about this lovely French restaurant is delightful from its fresh bread to its small but varied menu to the mismatched mugs that accompany an altogether quaint atmosphere. I went for brunch and the smell of fresh bread was still wafting throughout the restaurant as we sat down. The menu was divided into small plates (such as cinnamon buns and poached egg inside a bacon glazed bagel) and big plates (featuring omelettes, fresh sausage and eggs benedict). Each item on the menu looked incredibly tasty and while there weren't a great deal of vegetarian optionsI was pleased nonetheless to see a few tasty offerings. You can tell that each ingredient listed on the menu was carefully and deliciously prepared, ranging from bacon maple glaze, to whipped cream cheese to smoked dill and other fresh cheeses. The freshly baked sourdough is flavourful, chewy and might just be the highlight of the whole place. You can also get their bread from a bread window if you get there in time on certain days! The service, brunch food and atmosphere were all fantastic and I'd happy make the trip out to Beaumont to visit Chartier again for any meal! read more

Amazing experience! From the moment we walked in for dinner we were charmed by the friendliness of the staff, from the hostess to our server who gave us an overview of the menu and the philosophy of the restaurant. We enjoyed every bite and still ended up taking some leftovers home. Two weeks later, we came back and brought friends. Again, an excellent evening, with all of us wowed by the food and service. Looking forward to the next visit! read more

What better way to start your weekend than with brunch in Beaumont?? Chartier is a lovely little French-Canadian restaurant found a short drive south of Edmonton. Fun fact: it recently opened in 2015 as the result of a successful Kickstarter campaign. I started out my meal with a cucumber lemonade. It was absolutely divine! While they also offer classic breakfast cocktails, this non-alcoholic drink really hits the spot on a hot summer morning. For my meal, I went with the lemon chevre omelette. Vegetarian options aren't plentiful on their menu (this was the only veg-friendly large plate) but to be fair, it is a pretty small menu. Regardless, the omelette was wonderful. The eggs were cooked to perfection and the ingredients really spoke for themselves. A great balance of lemon and cheese. I love the balance they found between cute and rustic when it comes to decor. All of the food is served on mismatched plates which adds some charm to the experience. The service here is also great. Very attentive and friendly. You definitely get the impression that people enjoy working here. I'm so happy we made the trip out here to try Chartier. Pro-tip: definitely make a reservation, especially if you're driving in from Edmonton. It gets busy and you don't want to miss out! read more

Fantastically delicious! Highly recommend the Tartar and the Beef Bourguignon (forgot to take a photo!) read more

Chartier - Tartar - French Near Me - Beaumont, Alberta

Best "benny" that I've ever had. There are amazing flavours in the food. Congrats to the chef!

Chartier is a very cute and warm restaurant. The interior is nice and the staff are friendly. We went to this restaurant for a Valentine's day celebration. We ordered a few dishes to share and the portions were quite large. In fact we ended up packing a lot of it home. The food here is quite rich and so if you're looking for something light this isn't the place to go. We had poutine, beef tartar and a duck dish. The food is good and nicely presented. We weren't blown away and haven't been back but it's still worth a try. read more

All around great experience. Both food and servers were incredible. Our group tried several dishes and all were amazing. Beef, Veg, Fish....didn't matter. Incredible. The flexibility to bring our own wine was nice. We simply were charged a corkage fee. Decor is rustic with fun touches in the mix and match of the dinnerware and silverware. Fun date night place or family night. read more

We started with the charcuterie board for 2 ($32) selection of meats, pate maison, cheeses, house made savoury jam (can't remember the name) grainy mustard, house pickles and fresh sourdough bread made in house (probably the best sourdough in the city) There wasn't enough bread so ordered a few more slices. For main hubby had the Beaumont Smoked Meat Sandwich with hand cut fries and I had the Pork Belly with risotto, parsley purée, parmesan crisps and Brussel sprout leaves. Pork was a tad dry but the flavours were magnificent. Hubby complained about the portion of the sandwich ($18) but he loves his meat & bread. It was a good sandwich. For dessert we had the creme brûlée and Lime jar, a perfect way to end the evening. The brûlée had the crack any good brûlée should have and the lime jar had just the perfect amount of tartness. Our sever Calvin made the experience even more enjoyable, he is very hospitable. We raved about the bread and as a parting gift he sent us home with a loaf of bread. read more

It had been a while since doing brunch at Chartier and it was as good as I had remembered. The scotch egg was so yummy and the service was good (as per usual). I was a little bummed that the cinniminis had sold out before I had a chance to buy some but that's on me. Go team Chartier! read more

We were driving back from Camrose and decided to take a side trip to explore Beaumont. Stopped at Chartier as I heard about their poutine on the radio. We arrived Sunday afternoon just as the kitchen closed. The staff were great and checked if we could still get some food. They succeeded and we had poutine as well as pain au chocolate. The poutine was top notch although we could have gone for smaller, crisper fries. Great gravy and curds. The pain au chocolate was amazing. We ordered two more for the road and we will be back. read more

It's taken me a year and the Anthony Henday completion to get down to Chartier in Beaumont and I should have come earlier! This place is a gem and I will be back very soon. It's worth the drive from North Edmonton to get a proper 1lb poutine! The in house baked sourdough bread is exactly how I like it crunchy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. They offer it with a variety of dishes but it's best with the foie gras, herb salt, and balsamic reduction. It's a must have with the mussels as well since the andouille sausage white wine liquid is begging to be sopped up. The smoked flank steak with deep fried mash potato balls is also an instant favorite. The cheesy mash oozes out of the crunchy outer shell of tempura and perfectly components the smokey steak cooked to a perfect medium rare. Ending the meal with two house made truffles was perfect since we were soo stuffed from the previous 6 courses! Each small bite of truffle was rich, smooth and creamy. We didn't try any of the cocktails but that will have to happen on our next visit. The wine by the glass selection was small but seemed thoughtful. The ambiance starts with the outer facade which makes you think of Montreal with the exposed brick. The theme continues when you enter and you're greeted with a warm cozy atmosphere filled with amazing aromas, friendly smiles and contented appetites. I shall return post haste! read more

Just stopped with my gf for a dinner in Chartier, The place was full so we sit at the bar First I gotta say the place look very nice last Time I've been in a place look like that was in Puerto Rico in a michlien star restaurant so you guys getting a star just for that.. The Bar man was a nice dude serve as good and fast, and wine was good, the starts small plate I got the beans and mayonnaise something delicious and the meat tartar both delicious. For main we share the duck on froguies Gotta say was the best duck I ever eat!!! Delicious delicious delicious I'll be back!! read more

This is my mother and I favourite spot to have or monthly lunches. Great menu, polite staff and a nice calm environment.

I took my wife there for her birthday and it was great! The atmosphere is casual and rustic and the service is great! The food is great, we started with escargots and a half order of poutine then had the Off the Dock special which was seabass and for dessert we shared a Deep and Delicious for one...ALL of it was amazing! For drinks my wife had the Primrose which was incredibly flavourful and I very much enjoyed a beer on tap. Overall it was a great experience and we will be returning! Definitely worth trying out!!! read more

I turned 30 and got lazy because all I did was eat out for 2 weeks. We went to Chartier for my La Familia birthday dinner. I saw some friend's post about this restaurant on FB and it looked pretty good, so i went and it was REALLY DOPE. The Beaumont smoked meat sandwich consisted of house smoked slow-cooked brisket, sourdough bread, thyme dijon. Jason said "it was bombs" and I take his word for it. Everyone at the table pretty much all gto the poutine. Classic Quebecois poutine which had triple cooked handcut french fries, cheese curds, and Montreal gravy. It was really tasty but i preferred the curds to be melted a little bit more, but nonetheless we all ate every last bit of it's goodness. Most people at the table got the Beef Bourguignnon because on the menu it sounded too good to be true. On my plate it was even better with the taste of the braised chuck with the copious amounts of bacon roasted mushrooms....damn, it was quite the dish. Oh it even had a sliced pear on it that was weird but really good too, i licked the plate clean from it's neck to it's back. This place is located in Beaumont but it's worth the drive. Even if you come out on the weekend for the lunch menu it's good times. The ambiance is the best also with no chair being the same, it's like an unexpected get together at grandma's cabin. Apparently Thursday night is the best night because it's Cask night and they have a special beer they serve until it's all out. The main selling point are the prices, the sandwich was 13, poutine was 10 and beef was 29. There's only one dish over 30 bucks if you don't include the dinner for 2 option. This place is worth it's value. Definitely coming back, also got to follow @dinechartier and check out the special dishes they have. Finally Beaumont has a restaurant worth going to....shoutout to Maina's Donair, you're still awesome.

I have to say I was disappointed with my first visit to Chartier on Sunday. I had heard great things but it was pretty average overall. Most disappointing was the quantity of the seafood special: 5 scallops and 3 (small) mussels...for $37. Don't get me wrong: it was delicious. But it was more an appetizer than an entree. I had to order the poutine to top me up. The service was good, the place is nice, but the special needs some work. My wife's beef Bourgognon (?) was also good...but not great. Good flavour. Oh..and the poutine was okay...not as good as the same at Cafe Bicyclette in Edmonton's French Quarter. I'm not sure we would return, to be honest. read more

The short version of this review is as follows: I hate paying premium prices for a dining experience and receiving really crappy service. Now that that's out of the way, I'll elaborate more on my experience. Chartier is a beautifully designed French-Canadian restaurant located on the main street of Beaumont, a 15-20 minute drive from south Edmonton. I loved the modern industrial feel of the interior, and contrary to the upscale feel of their website, it's quite casual and almost pub-like later in the evening, especially at the bar. If I lived in Beaumont it would be tempting to walk over on a warm summer evening for wine after dinner. The food was good, with the poutine being the stand out of the evening. I'd probably go back just for the poutine. I got the roasted hen for my main, and it wasn't really to my liking. I thought the meat was a little overcooked and dry in spots, and the toasted brioche was too sweet when paired with the ratatouille and fried egg, it just didn't work for me. The small bites I tasted of other dishes were better, so the hen may have just been a dud. The "la mer" poutine was also missing it's seafood, I guess they ran out of shellfish for the evening. Food and atmosphere aside, the service we received from beginning to end of our visit, was frankly the pits. When we arrived they had lost our reservation (no one in our group was too concerned about this), so the owner offered us some cocktails while we waited for them to find us a table. We interpreted this as meaning we would be comped cocktails, but they were on our bill at the end of the night. I asked for a non-alcoholic drink, and it wasn't delivered with the other drinks; I didn't bother asking again. When we were seated, someone asked us what else we would like to start, and three of us asked for water. This person didn't return and it took us over 15 minutes to flag someone else down. I think because we were stuffed into a table in the middle of the room due to the lost reservation, no server was assigned to us. I was in the restaurant for 40 minutes before finally getting a tiny room-temperature glass of water. Our server was young and enthusiastic, but he was the opposite of how a good server should be at a higher-end restaurant. He constantly stopped by the table to make jokes and talk about random things, but didn't actually do his job. We had empty drink glasses on our table all night, we had to ask for missing flatware and another dining partner finally asked him to leave a pitcher of water at the table because the glasses were so small and he was so darn slow with refills. When the plates were cleared off our table mine was forgotten, and I had to stare at a dirty cold plate while everyone enjoyed their desserts and drinks. Another server from a different table finally noticed and offered to clear my plate. I like it when staff are knowledgeable about the food they are serving, but having ours constantly talking to our table became intrusive on our dinner, especially after the restaurant quieted down and we were his only table. Should I cut them some slack for being a brand new restaurant (open for seven weeks) with likely inexperienced staff? Probably. However, if you want to offer unique dining, and charge appropriately for it, train your staff properly. We left feeling exhausted and annoyed by the constant interruptions that served no purpose. read more

Chartier - Roasted hen with ratatouille, fried egg and brioche. - French Near Me - Beaumont, Alberta

If your into something that is over priced and small portions then this is the place for you. Some of the things I had, like whiskey ice cream were great, but others weren't anything special like lobster poutine. If your looking to drop $100 for two people to eat a normal meal maybe go somewhere else. Or make it yourself and enjoy the conversation. Ps - bartenders won't shut up and act cocky. Dude your in your 30s working at a tiny bar. Your not Tom Cruse in Cocktail! At the prices they have im not sure how they will make it in tiny Beaumont. read more

Ventured out to Beaumont to try this spot I'd read about online. We went for brunch on a Saturday. Simply outstanding. The atmosphere and staff were terrific, the food was excellent and the craft beer selection, although small, was awesome. I love the fact that they have local, and interesting brews on tap. We'll be back numerous times I'm sure to try out more of the menu and enjoy some hard to find beer. read more

Worth the 45 min drive for me! I had a Caesar which was perfect with just enough spice, my friend and I shared a poutine (it could have had more cheese and thinner fries but otherwise it was very delicious), I had the beef bourguignon which was perfectly cooked and the bacon and mushrooms that came with it were very delicious. Then I had the molasses brown bread pudding. I was a little skeptical about the blueberries with it but it was just perfect. Service was great- my water glass was never empty, and the atmosphere is rustic and comforting with the lights dimmed. I thoroughly enjoyed Chartier and absolutely recommend it. read more

A great little gem in Beaumont. The menu selection is limited but fantastic. We went for a Sunday brunch and the food was over the top. My wife had Eggs Donovan and I had the Breakfast Poutine. Both we unbelievable and satisfying. Large portions with unique flavours that I have never had before. I highly recommend trying their special Somoza of the day. That was also delicious. Staff were very friendly and attentive. I highly recommend visiting this restaurant for a superb experience. We will be going back many times. read more

My husband received a gift certificate for Chartier for his birthday and we decided to go there for his birthday dinner. I loved the atmosphere, it was friendly and cozy. When I made the reservation, I had mentioned it was my husband's birthday and they left a hand-written thank-you note for him on our table, thanking us for spending his birthday with the 'Chartier Family'. It was a nice touch. The service was wonderful! We were promptly seated, and our server, as well as the owner of the restaurant, came to fill our glasses regularly and see how we were doing. My husband had the Beef Bourgeois, it was so tender and fell apart in your mouth. He thoroughly enjoyed it. I wanted to order the the 'la Mer Poutine', but they were out of it for the evening. Which to me was a little disappointing, our reservation was for 6 pm, how could they be out of it already? So I decided on the steak. It was Alberta beef and seasoned wonderfully with a mushroom sauce and grilled potatoes. Delish! I will definitely be back to try that poutine! Though, if they're out of it again, I would not be impressed. read more

Fantastic restaurant in a quaint little town! This place has a relaxed, rustic chic vibe. I absolutely looove the decor! I recommend making a reservation as it seems to be a busy place but we did a walk in and sat at the bar as it was only 2 of us. They have a decent beer selection (local) and based on what I saw on the wall behind the bar, decent scotch selection as well. Everything on the menu sounded deliciously decedent but I decided on the breakfast poutine and cappuccino and the boyfriend got a coffee and les oeufs. The poutine had the biggest cheese curds I have ever seen and they were so fresh! Quite literally the best poutine I have tasted! The gravy was the real deal and the potatoes were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. It came with a poached egg topped with truffle hollandaise. Mmm mmm so good! The sourdough toast that came with my boyfriend's breakfast was fresh and rustic. It came with a side of fresh raspberry rhubarb jam which was a nice mix of sweet and tart (which they sell at the door and we ended up buying a jar of). The service was great and the food was so yummy! We are actually goinback next weekend with friends. THAT is how good it is! read more

This restaurant has been recommended to me several times and I finally had the chance to go when my parents came to visit. It was phenomenal from start to finish. We had bread and butter with brûléed brie, haricots verts, chicken cordon bleu sandwich, brisket ragu and the beef bourguignon. All of the food was amazing, our server was very friendly and knowledgeable, the decor and atmosphere is very nice. I love the market and bakery at the front. We got some Saskatoon maple butter tarts on the way out and they were amazing. I'd highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely be back! read more

PRO: The food was legit incredible. I had the Beef Bourguignon, and with all the different ingredients (bacon, mashed potatoes, pear, apple puree) spread out around the meat, it was like having multiple meals at once. Maybe the most flavourful meal I've had in years. CON: I felt the prices were quite high. Both our entrees were $29 each. More than I'd prefer (but, if I'm being honest, it was still worth the money) read more

Chartier was recommended to me by a colleague, so I decided to surprise my husband a few weeks ago with brunch. Apparently this place has enough of a reputation that when I said we were going to Beaumont, the surprise was ruined. Oh well! The restaurant has a shabby chic atmosphere complete with mismatched chairs and dining-ware but it was just the right amount of cute. The staff were friendly and especially helpful in locating us a spot in the corner where we could have baby (who was sleeping) close, but not in the way. While there were other noisy children that day, ours certainly wasn't one of them :) The food was good but nothing overly memorable - I had "the eggs" - Hubby had the Duck and Waffle. And because we just couldn't help ourselves, we brought home a cinnamon roll (sampling a bite before packing it up.) Overall the food and atmosphere felt like somewhere back home in Kentucky and I found a lot of comfort in that. I did not however, sense any French flare. Perhaps we need to return for dinner to get the full experience!?! read more

Food was ok, appetizers were better than main courses. Chairs were uncomfortable. Had reservation but had to wait 45 mins to be seated. read more

We had a 6PM reservation, and our table was ready on time. Our server, a lovely woman (who looked like Ivanka Trump) was extremely welcoming. She was well versed on the drink, and food menu. The food was delicious. We had friends in from the USA with us, so they were set on eating the Smoked Meat sandwich. They were not disappointed. read more

What a delightful gem! Loved the eclectic decor- someone put a lot of thought and love into it. Much of the ingredients are made in-house or are locally sourced and you can tell the quality is there. Try the salmon Benedict- one of the best versions I've ever had. They also sell bakery products to go as well as pantry and cooler items. We brought home a jar of the creton ( a sort of rustic pork pate) and paired it with their sourdough bread- pure bliss- will definitely be back. read more

My daughter and I had a great experience Tuesday evening at Chartier! Our first trip ever to the restaurant and our experience started off with a very warm welcome from all staff; we found them to be so well trained and we knew with that start that we were in for a treat! So nice to sit down and be welcomed right off the bat with a complimentary little " slate board" each; with a tasting of their cheese featured on their charcuterie board. Nothing like enjoying a glass of wine and a tasting of local cheeses while we made our made menu selections! The whole meal was awesome ! There were so many good choices we decided to share several!We started with their sourdough bread, butter & salt board, Chartier, Steak tartare delicious, tempura green beans with Maple syrup served in a Maple syrup can! Very good, and you can see, in our photos, three amazing choices we made ,out of many, for our dessert. Overall a really wonderful experience and can not wait to return! read more

My really good friend funded their Kickstarter so we decided to go for an early meal prior to a concert they were attending on Saturday evening. Before I review the food I'm going to say the ONLY reason I didn't give them a 5-star review was because the service was a little on the underwhelming side. We were late for our reservation, so I can understand that is annoying for the restaurant, and we did call and update them on our arrival time twice though. However when we showed up we were reminded twice by the hostesses that we'd need to be done by 6 pm, and then when we were greeted by our server he again reminded us about the fact that they needed us out by 6 pm Then it took ages for them to take our order, and it took well over 20 minutes for me to get my drink because they needed to "change the box" for the cola (which is DELICIOUS by the way). There was also a noticeable lack of experience with our server, but he was friendly and easy to get along with for the most part, just very slow and made some interesting placement and timing choices. Now, on to the food! Oh the food! I don't care if you're a 5 star only picky eater or you're a sandwich and fries kind of person, YOU WILL LIKE THIS PLACE. Their poutine is spot-on. The fries are the big steak-cut fries, which NORMALLY I am not a fan of, but these ones were cooked PERFECTLY and the gravy was delicious (and it's gluten-free for those of you who are conscious of that). The cheese curds were squeaky and huge and lovely, and that poutine was the things dreams are made of. It was also huge compared to some of their other dishes, so score to that! We got the Charcutterie which was Creton (I am French -Canadian so this is my child hood and it was SO GOOD.) Purscuitto and Smoked Meat with house made pickles, jams, comptoes, bread, mustard and some cheeses (an emmental, another I didn't recognize but it was good, and a blue cheese which I avoided like the plague lol) The Charcuterie was a bit less than what I was expecting, having seen photos of other people's, however, it was good none the less. Their smoked meat is delicious and I'm looking forward to coming back and trying the sandwich. We ordered the Tomarrow soup which is awesome. That's the best tomato soup I've had in a long time. It was a nice touch being served with the bone marrow and toast. mmm. for Mains we got the Tourtiere - because you can't go to a French Canadian restaurant and not. And it did NOT disappoint and the rhubarb jam that came with it was AWESOME. Such a classic dish. I really enjoyed it. We got the hen which came with a perfectly cooked egg on top and this Ratatouille that was amazing. The hen itself was 2 small rounds of white and dark meat that were cooked to perfection. Not dry, and Totally full of flavor. This restaurant has cane cola on tap and I would totally go there just to get a big-gulp filled if that was socially acceptable. It's delicious. Worth the $3 for a small glass, and I waited for a refill even after we paid because I was not leaving without a second small glass of that amazing soda. I'll be going back for sure, and will reassess the service issues we had when we're not on a "time crunch" so to speak. read more

We came here on Easter Sunday for our first visit and I was spectacular! It's fun to take the drive out to Beaumont to this fun, unique joint. The French Canadian flair is delightful and the staff are super gracious. But most importantly, the food is delicious and inventive ! Aside from some classics like the poutine (magic) the dishes are very creative. They also have an unbelievable bakery in house that is pumping out delicious breads and treats. Can't recommend this place enough ! read more

This was well worth the trip coming from the North end of Edmonton. When I made the reservations, we had a celiac in our group and the restauarant went out of their way to accommodate. Its a french restaurant without the pretentious of a french restauarant. The home made bread, the honey foie gras, the steak, cod, pork chop, all on point. Everything tasted delicious and was seasoned well. Our hostess and server were insightful and knowledgeble about the menu and the restauarant it self. The restaurant has a rustic barn look to it, and it suits. What we liked was the small but well thought out drink menu and the cask night from Ribstone Creek was a great touch. The only thing i was disappointed was the duck was not available for thr night, but after ordering thr pork chop, i had all but forgotten about the duck. Great job to the Chartier team, this is a must for everyone living in the Edmonton area and those visiting Edmonton. read more
