The Dining Experience at The Sumach by Chartwell in Toronto
Our residents have a diverse array of preferences, schedules and tastes, which is why we offer so many choices at The Sumach by Chartwell. First, you choose your meal plan, whether you’d like to join us for one dinner a week or for two meals a day. We also offer flexible times and open seating in our dining room. And then there’s our menu: a wonderfully wide range of chef-created selections that have been dietitian-approved, too.
Our menus have everything from classic comfort-food fare like fish and chips and coq au vin, to delicious healthy salads like our popular spinach and strawberry with poppyseed dressing. We also feature offerings from around the world, like butter chicken with basmati and naan or Moroccan roasted lamb. We always have daily features, like a chopped salad with pesto chicken sandwich for lunch! Since our diverse recipe collection has been approved for nutritional balance, you can count on your meals to be equally appetizing and wholesome.
Service is just as important to us as the quality of our meals at The Sumach by Chartwell.
Our friendly servers are here to make every meal memorable. Whether we’re pouring you a glass of wine, helping you decide what to order (it’s hard sometimes with so many great options!) or communicating with the kitchen to relay your special requests, you’ll always feel cared for. We love serving your guests as well, either in our main dining room or in our lovely private dining area.
