More than a name, Chez Bernard is a tribute to our grandfather, Bernard, and to the simple moments that shaped our love for food, wine and the table.

Inspired by him, we’re bringing a little of that warmth to The Shore. A place to share good food, enjoy honest wine, and spend time around the table with the people you love!

Chez Bernard is named after Jonathan’s grandfather, Bernard and the summers spent with him in France around long tables, good food, a glass of wine and the people you love.

Those memories inspired the kind of place we wanted to create here on The Shore: warm, relaxed and made for taking your time.
