We’re feeling hungry for Chop Chop!
This year, Winter Chop Chop is happening during the last week of January, perfectly timed with Fundy Winterfest. It’s time to explore Uptown dining, warm up with something delicious, and enjoy our Uptown.
Uptown Saint John Business Improvement Association restaurants are serving up special Chop Chop dishes all week long, bringing together the creativity and flavour diners have loved from past food weeks all in one cozy celebration.
Chop Chop Pricing
This season’s Chop Chop dishes are offered in new price ranges, giving you plenty of choice as you explore Uptown:
