The Dining Experience at Chartwell Allandale Station in Barrie
As soon as you step inside our light-filled, modern dining room, you’ll know you’re in for something special, and that first bite will confirm it. Our food service team has perfected a roster of hundreds of recipes and we are proud to share these dishes with you.

We’d love for you to have guests join you as well, either in our main dining room, or in our large private dining room, perfect for family celebrations.
