Chop Chop

We’re feeling Winterlicious! This year, Chop Chop is moving to the last week in January to coincide with the already successful Fundy Winterfest. This shift gives us a high-profile, seasonally perfect opportunity to showcase Uptown dining during a time when locals and visitors are looking for ways to warm up and indulge.

For this delightful week-long food initiative, we ask you to submit a menu item of your choice for one or each of the following NEW pricing category ranges;

Lunch: $20 – $55
Dinner: $35 – $75
(Choose your price and menu offering within either or both categories.)

By combining the creativity and energy from our past Poutine Week and Taco Week into Chop Chop Winter, we’re building on the strong brand recognition Chop Chop already has. The timing, during Fundy Winterfest, makes this initiative especially impactful, giving you, our Uptown restaurants, a chance to shine when diners are eager for special food experiences.
