The Dining Experience at Chartwell Valley Vista in Vaughan  

Our animated dining room is the heart of our residence, and where you’ll enjoy flexible dining times and gather to share delicious meals with your fellow residents. You’ll discover our à la carte menu, full of choice, from hearty soups and springy salads to delicious seafood dishes and succulent roasts. We change our menu every spring, summer, fall and winter, so you can be sure we’re using the freshest ingredients and properly celebrating the tastes of each season.

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.

Our kitchen also has featured daily specials. Here’s where our team takes huge inspiration from our residents, offering meals with an Italian flair. You’ll find dishes like stracciatella Fiorentina soup and solenta with tomato sauce served with grilled Italian sausage, or try our veal scaloppini in a portobello sauce. We make a great tiramisu, too!

We love to meet your friends and family, so please be sure to invite them to join you for a meal! We also proudly offer themed dinner nights, where we celebrate occasions and take a culinary tour to destinations around the world.
