My Husband and I had tea today at Chanterelle Bistro, April 6,2024I have to give a 10/10 this was our first time coming for their Tea menu, and we were so so happy with how amazing every thing was, presentation, service, the tea choices are great, andthe food is the star, everything placed on the three tiered tray was so delicious, such a variety, and generous amounts. We ate every little bit of our lunch and moved onto the dessert portion, on the tray. All the food is home made and the desserts were absolutely delicious and such a treat with lots of assortment to chose from. Portion sizes for everything just perfect, along with presentation, the attention to detail is outstanding. Just really impressed. Thank you.It really is a lovely idea to enjoy a tea of your choice and some fancy bite sized foods, in a lovely setting ( coffee is available )A must try, we will be back for tea, was so fun. We have been here for dinner and it is top notch, so having a tea date was a great idea. I think the choices of what is presented to you is what really thrilled us. Again Thanks to the chef and our server Taylor. They explain everything to you so you know exactly what foods are on the tiered tray, often check backs to make sure everything is fine, or water filled up etc. A nice couple of hours to start our Saturday off on the right foot. Cheers !

I got the Oysters Rockefeller and Lamb Shank and was very disappointed. Neither had much flavor at all. Very disappointed as it was my first time there.

We had my husband's birthday dinner celebration with family and friends at Chanterelle. Angela was our server and was fantastic. We were a group of 11 and everything from drinks to appetizers to the main course were brought to us in a friendly and efficient manner. Everyone was very impressed with the quality and quantity of our food. We were seated in the upstairs dining room which is so cozy and comfortable. We had such an enjoyable evening and look forward to many more delicious dinners at Chanterelle.

This place was great! Food was fantastic, menu had a lot of great options, and everything was prepared perfectly. Angela was wonderful….made us feel very welcome and answered our questions about the menu. Overall, a great dinner and night out. Thank you to the Chanterelle team!
Had a most delicious evening at the bistro. I was fortunate to win a gift cert for this lovely restaurant. My friend and I had an early dinner and were seated promptly in a quiet spot which we really loved as it was a busy evening there. Olivia was our server and was wonderful and attentive. We enjoyed appetizers like their whipped feta dip (a special) and the gravlax salmon. Dinner was lobster risotto and the lamb shank for me. We finished with the flourless chocolate cake and the creme brulee and tea. Everything was delicious! ?
Excellent service, delicious dinner and a cozy ambiance.Vegetarian options: The goat cheese tart was fantastic!

We celebrated my birthday here about two weeks ago. The food was hit and miss.The lobster risotto and the steak were delicious. The baked mussel starter was also good. We had also ordered the arctic char and it wasn’t good at all - it was deep fried, oily and lacked flavour. The Caesar salad was mediocre and the baguette with liver mousse - had a gamey taste. Granted the baguette with mousse just likely isn’t intended for our taste preference.The waitress was nice but she seemed quite awkward and unauthentic. Her smile seemed forced. Not sure if she was tired after a long day but it was clear she didn’t care to interact with us.Overall it’s good depending on what you order.
