3 Plates of food -one with a pie, one with fish and one with salad. 3 assiettes de nourriture - une avec une tarte, une avec du poisson et une avec de la salade.

In addition to delicious daily features incorporating seasonal, fresh ingredients—oftentimes locally sourced by our fresh food supplier—you can select from standard crowd-pleasing favourites on our à la carte menu, should you wish to enjoy something different. Aside from our wholesome entrée options, you can expect a choice of daily, made-from-scratch soups, salads, a selection of fruit, and homemade desserts to round out your dining experience.

Service is just as important to us as the quality of our meals at Chartwell Lakeshore.

You’ll come to know our dining room servers well and look forward to seeing them every day. You’ll also come to know our Food Service Manager, who often looks for feedback to make your dining experience the best it can be.
