The Chelsea Club

Today, I would like to share with you one of the jewel of this city. For many years, I was looking for a place to hang out, take some clients out for lunch/dinner etc etc. but to also meet other entrepreneurs... The choices are limited in this city... you can try the Rideau Club, however it's old school and extremely serious. In addition, the membership and monthly fees are considerable. I would like to recommend you the Chelsea Club, located directly downtown (Meltcalfe/Sommerset). The Club was founded in 1926 and is now run by Sean Murphy, a Cordon Bleu Chef. The biggest advantage of the Chelsea is the fact that it's much more casual and that you feel like if you are at home. I've joined the Chelsea Club upon my return from Buenos Aires and I am using the Club since then. The quality of the food combined with the exceptionnal services provided by Sean (chef & manager) and his staff, made this Club a real jewel. I believe that it's a great way to take clients for lunch or to only mingles and meet new people, moreover the Club have affilitiations around the world, that's mean that you can also use the facilities of other Clubs when you are travelling. Finally, if you are under 40, the annual fee is only $200 and you have no further obligations (e.i. no monthly fees or bar bills), it's pay as you go - you only reserved for a lunch/dinner or you can just drop by for a coffee.... check it out, it is totally worth it.
