chartier events
Some stories are written on paper, but the best ones are aged in oak.
Join us on Sunday, August 30th as we uncork the finest bottles of craftmanship. Guiding us through each pour will be the wonderful Sean Kincaid of Dark Cloud Whisky, who will be sharing the secrets that makes each sip undeniably special.
You will be greeted with a welcome cocktail that incorporates one of the chosen spirits, followed by a tasting of three spirits; each one paired to a curated small plate by Executive Chef Crystal Higgins.
From smoky and bold, to smooth and complex, every whisky has its own story waiting to be read. So pull up a chair, raise a glass, and settle in for an evening of great whisky, great company, and conversations that will make you linger long after the last pour.
There is one seating available at 4:30 pm, the event is approximately 1.5-2hours long. We hope to see you there!
Every Thursday, you’ll have the chance to try any of our “bottle only” options for 50% off.
This will give you the chance to experiment with new varietals, new wineries, and new regions that you might not otherwise try out, AND gives you a great excuse to meet up with your favourite wine drinker ;)
Reservations highly recommended - but walk-ins are always welcome :)
There’s two things that Albertans love: commenting on the weather, and Alberta raised beef :)
Every Tuesday will now be STEAK NIGHT, where we bring in different steak cuts of AAA Alberta beef and serve them with our crispy truffle fries, herb butter, and smoked maple aioli.
Why should you care? EVERY TUESDAY THIS STEAK FEATURE WILL BE 50% OFF THE REGULAR PRICE.
That’s not a typo. That’s not meat was purchased out of the back of a mini van, it’s not scraps of meat that have been glued back together, and it’s not meat that was grown in a lab.
Just beautiful AAA Alberta beef, seasoned and grilled to perfection.
Reservations are highly recommended, book your spot now!
*the fine print: Dine-in only. Offer available Tuesdays from 5pm-close. Limited quantities available.

In The Press
It's with great pleasure and excitement we share news of the first expansion for Chartier Restaurant and Bakery in Nisku's newly renovated Business and Entrepreneur Centre (BEC), which will be officially announced later this morning at the 2023 Leduc County Business Summit.
In 2022, Leduc County was awarded more than $1 million in federal funding from PrairiesCan to redevelop the decommissioned Nisku Recreation Centre into the BEC, a project aimed to nurture the growth of start-ups and small-to-medium sized enterprises.
Good things come to those who wait — and the Edmonton region has certainly been waiting for something like Chartier. Owners Sylvia and Darren Cheverie got the ball rolling with a Kickstarter campaign, which quickly set the record as being the most successful restaurant campaign in Canada. They tested menu items, created a charming, cozy space filled with mismatched vintage chairs and reclaimed wood paneling, and then finally threw the doors open to an eager public.
The top new Alberta restaurants of 2016: From the Kickstarter backed Chartier near Edmonton to the cozy Hayloft North of Calgary, restauranteurs in Alberta are still taking chances. Liv Vors and Dan Clapson pick the best.
Cette vidéo a été diffusée pour la première fois, le 14 octobre 2016, dans le cadre des célébrations des 90 ans de l'organisme porte-parole de la francophonie albertaine, l'ACFA.
Chartier head chef Steve Brochu and sous chef Calvin Teufeld are taking some of their staff to the Gold Medal Plates competition and fundraiser.
Small business owners are a brave bunch. They go out on their own to start a business. It's a risk and can be a bit scary, but when it works, it can be very satisfying.
Maintaining a restaurant’s bread program in-house is no small endeavour. At Beaumont, Alta.-based Chartier, chef Steve Brochu and his team produce a selection of breads and pastries for both the restaurant and its bread window, which offers fresh-made delicacies Wednesday through Sunday.
“I’ve come in at the top and I’ve come in at the bottom — it’s an adrenaline rush no matter what,” said Chartier baker Jesse Woodland with a determined look in his eye while discussing his win at the Canadian Food Championships last month. This fall, the esteemed baker will compete in the World Food Championships in Orange Beach, Alabama.
Beaumont’s Chartier restaurant holds several distinctions. It is, to date, the most successful restaurant Kickstarter campaign in Canada and the first successful restaurant Kickstarter campaign in Alberta. Moreover, this quaint, hilltop spot just south of Edmonton serves up a commendable and well-executed selection of Québécois fine dining, the likes of which are rarely witnessed west of La Belle Province.
For a restaurant to earn a five (out of five) Sun rating for food in this column is no easy feat. Everything must be perfect. Every dish must be attractive, delicious, inspiring, even challenging. So congratulations to the new French-Canadian Chartier restaurant, a down-to-earth, whimsical and inviting eatery in the Franco-Albertan community of Beaumont, less than a 30 minute drive from south Edmonton.
I remember like it was just yesterday: it was March and I had just plopped down $200 to support Chartier’s Kickstarter project. I was paying for a meal for two at what was going to be Beaumont’s newest and greatest French-Canadian restaurant and going to experience all that was promised to me by the campaign video. Fast forward over a year later and now I’m writing about my first eats at Chartier. I have so much to say — brace yourself for photographs of dinner and brunch, and lots of swooning.
A lifelong dream has come true for a Beaumont couple thanks to the kickstarter campaign and the generosity of residents.
Chartier is bringing some added French flair to Beaumont's restaurant scene, and the cuisine was — for the most part — perfectly mouthwatering for Edmonton AM food critic Twyla Campbell.
Darren and Sylvia Cheverie had defied the odds before they even opened the doors at their new Beaumont restaurant Chartier.
Back in September of 2015, Avenue talked to Sylvia and Darren Cheverie, the Beaumont couple whose Kickstarter campaign for their French-Canadian restaurant Chartier quickly became the most successful restaurant Kickstarter in Canada. Now, the much anticipated Chartier is open on a charming main street in Beaumont, and it’s well worth the trek.
Just in time for Francophone week, a local couple is looking to bring a little more French into Beaumont.
A lifelong dream has come true for a Beaumont couple thanks to the kickstarter campaign and the generosity of residents.
Sylvia and Darren Cheverie are following their dreams of opening up their own restaurant, a rustic French Canadian restaurant, Chartier, located in the heart of Beaumont.
