We had a great time! It was my first time visiting and from the moment we stepped in everyone was so friendly. While we waited for our table a server brought us drinks. We dined on NYE and they had a preset menu. Every item was fantastic! I will 100% be back to try the regular menu.

Every dish we ordered was fantastic, and we were all very impressed — hats off to the chefs! I've already boasted about the meal to many friends, and I'm likely to daydream about the duck all week. The flavours were excellent, and everything was cooked to perfection. My allergies were well looked after, which is always appreciated. The drinks were good, but I can't say they're anything special. With the plethora of cocktail/wine bars in the city, it can be hard to stand out, and the gin martini in particular fell a bit flat. That being said, I really enjoyed the dessert wine — Dudon Sauternes. We clearly enjoyed the l'Ecu as well. Service was good, but it felt understaffed and details were understandably missed (i.e. candied pecans on the side; wine with the duck). The staff were friendly, personable, and worked well together as a team. We expected a touch more attentiveness and less rushing off for 5/5 stars. All in all, it was a highly enjoyable experience, and I can't wait to come back!

10/10 experience. The commitment to quality is obvious here. A relaxed, laid back, yet elevated dining experience. Went here for brunch and everything blew us away— the service the second we walked through the door, the atmosphere, the food, OMG the food, everything was perfectly cooked, seasoned, and interesting! Can’t wait to come back and try the rest of the menu!

Went for my dad’s birthday a couple of weeks ago and we had a great time. When we first walked in they offered to take our coats which was nice since it’s winter and coats take up a lot of space at the table. Happy hour is till 6 pm and they had an assortment of cocktails and appetizers on the happy hour menu so we got a couple to start us off. It’s recommended to share because they’re menu is set like family style so we got 4 main dishes to share plus my mom had the cutest French onion soup! I would highly recommend going to the bar for a snack and a drink or coming for a special occasion! I can’t wait to come back here :)

Super lovely and friendly staff that fit us in on a busy night without a reso. We sat at the bar (tight space) and to our surprise there was a happy hour ($10 drinks and small bites, $2 oysters), we tried most of the dishes on it, but weren’t wow’d by any. Brioche and pastry were good found the tartare grisly, oysters were okay. Not sure I’ll make a point to come back, But the staff were great 👍🏼

came for brunch! all the food was phenomenal! we got several dishes to share, and honestly i think my favourite was the french onion soup. it was the absolute perfect comfort food for a cold day 🥰 it did take a very long time for our food to come out, but my friends and i had plenty of catching up to do 🤷♀️

I thoroughly enjoyed my time here at Chantecler. Each dish was prepared with care and the taste pairing was absolutely exquisite. The flavours were fully developed, making for each bite to be balanced. Our waiter was knowledgeable and friendly, showing careful attention to serving etiquette such as having the label face us when pouring our wine. I would love to visit again!
