Chartwell Barton prides itself on offering a nutritious and delicious dining experience for all our residents. Your senior living experience includes three daily meals, including a full breakfast and multiple choices at lunch and dinner. Our dining program is centred around freshly-prepared dishes using seasonal ingredients sourced as close to home as possible. Your meals are served in our bright and spacious dining room where you can enjoy the company of your neighbours while our team ensures you have everything you need.

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.

You’ll have a choice of daily featured dishes, as well as a menu of à la carte favourites ranging from comfort food to lighter fare, with a variety of soups, salads, entrées, and desserts. Our residents are delighted whenever we have themed dinners to showcase diverse cuisines or celebrate special occasions together. You may also invite your loved ones to join you for family dinner events or you can play host—we’d be happy to cater—in the private dining room. You can also help yourself to snacks in the bistro.

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

One of the highlights of our dining program is the friendly service. Our servers get to know you and make you feel at home, collaborating with our food service team to make sure your meals are personalized to accommodate your dietary preferences and requests.
