September 9th & 10th- Read | Eat | Drink Book Pairing - Chocolat

Join us on September 9th and 10th for yet another Read | Eat | Drink book pairing dinner, where we create a four course set menu centred around a book from our friends and neighbours at Daisy Chain Book Co.

This time, our culinary inspiration is from the beautiful mind of Joanne Harris, and her book “Chocolat”

Harris's novel Chocolat follows Vianne Rocher, a single mother, and her six year old daughter Anouk, who arrive in the conservative French village of Lansquenet-sous-Tannes during Lent. After opening a chocolate shop across from the church, Vianne's chocolate creations and open spirit awaken the villagers' senses and passions, leading to a community divided between tradition and pleasure.

The menu will have many culinary references sprinkled throughout the book, and chocolate! … Obviously. The evening includes a private shopping party at Daisy Chain, a four course dinner, reception cocktail, and a reading of favourite snippets from the book.

We can’t wait to see you there!

Take a metaphorical paddle through the Alberta producers we support without ever leaving your table. 

 Whether you’re someone who is far too indecisive for just one plate at dinner or just like the thrill of a little bit of everything, this six course tasting menu is a love letter to all foodies!

The cost is $90/person + GST and gratuity, with drink pairings available for an additional $40 (non-alcoholic drink pairings are also available.)

All you have to do is sit back, relax, & enjoy your evening as we guide you through "the best of Chartier".   

Producer Dinner ft. Irvings Farm

Producer Dinner ft. Irvings Farm

Bringing you a little bit closer to where your food comes from is one of our primary goals at Chartier.

One of the ways we do this is with our monthly producer dinners, where we showcase one of our local partners in a carefully curated 5 course menu that focuses in on their incredible products. We invite them in for the evening to storytell, educate, and connect with diners - offering a unique opportunity to meet the beauties behind the bounty.

On Friday, January 10th we’re excited to welcome Nicola and Alan Irving - proud owners of Irvings Farm Fresh in Roundhill, AB.

After moving to Alberta from England in 2005, Nicola and Alan realised that many of the British pork products they had come to love in England, were not available here in Alberta - and so began their journey into farming in Canada.

Their small herd of Berkshire pigs are raised as nature intended. The animals are allowed to move freely in their environment and are kept outside year round, with access to indoor shelters for shade in the summer, and warmth in the winter. The animals are never raised with the use of antibiotics, hormones are never used to promote growth, and the pigs’ diet consists of forages, locally grown grain (produced without the use of chemicals), and a premix of canola/soya, and a vitamin/mineral supplement.

Their pork is unparalleled, and Chef Tamara will be using it in all five courses offered throughout the evening.
