The Dining Experience at Chartwell Oak Park Terrace in Windsor

At Chartwell Oak Park Terrace, your restaurant-style dining experience isn’t just about enjoying a delicious, homemade breakfast, lunch, or dinner. First, it’s about the quality of the food, featuring farm-fresh fruits, vegetables, dairy products, fish, poultry and meats, and seasonal ingredients. It’s also about how our food service team prepares all dishes, aiming for food that is pleasing to your palate and good for you too. They craft a balance between tried-and-true resident favourites, and new selections that are equally tempting. For example, for dinner you could enjoy a Caesar salad, followed by an entrée of pan-seared boneless pork chops braised in a tomato herb sauce accompanied by roasted mini potatoes, green beans, and cauliflower. And who wouldn’t love pineapple upside-down cake for dessert? If you have a special dietary need, we are pleased to accommodate you.
