Gif Certificates Weddings Chillingsworth

     Chillingsworth, is housed on the 300 year-old Chillingsworth Foster estate (Listed on the National Historic Register) in the beautiful, historic and quaint town of Brewster. Set among six acres of lawns and gardens, it has been the Cape's premier restaurant for more than thirty years. The estate is also home to three lovely Guestrooms.

    There is a second restaurant on the premises, located in the greenhouse and gallery adjacent to the bar, “CHILLS BISTRO” is run from a separate kitchen: a totally different venue from the internationally acclaimed Fine Dining Chillingsworth. With an a la carte menu, it is a family friendly, & very casual  dining experience, often boisterous: steaks, chops, grilled fish, pasta & pizzas, with salads and rustic house-made desserts.
  
 Additionally the bistro is now offering a $25 3-course special for those seated by 6pm.

 The Bar has its own small plated menu as well as an “Appy Hour" from 4 -5:30 with specially priced appetizers. Through the evening in the bar one can order from the small plates menu or the Chills Bistro menu. Reservations are not accepted in the bar but there is a great camaraderie among the patrons. Killer cocktails and a large list of beers & wines by the glass.

Not well known are the guests rooms. Lodged above the restaurant in the historic part of the building, they are a perfect weekend getaway, or overnight for a special event. Wine & cheese in the afternoon of your arrival, continental breakfast and a private beach just steps down the lane. See our "Guestrooms”

Boston Magazine says Chillingsworth… "is home to one of the most enchanting dining experiences in all of New England…in a dining room teeming with antiques, fresh flowers and ultra smooth service. Chillingsworth charms with the luscious richness of French cuisine mixed with a soupcon of brighter, lighter flavors”


John Mariani, internationally known food columnist, contributing to the Wine Spectator, Esquire Magazine, The Harper Collection, & Diversion as well as the author of The Encyclopedia of American Food & Drink… recently came to the Cape to review the dining scene for his international newsletter, Virtual Gourmet in an article called “Dining on Cape Cod”: click here for full text

Chillingsworth has been selected as one of the Top 40 Restaurants in America by Gayot.com. From Gayot:

"Eating out on Cape Cod has largely been a matter of which dockside seafood house you prefer, with legions of lobster shacks and places claiming to have the best clam chowder in New England. But there has been a marked change for better and better food over the years, led by Chillingsworth. Set in a sprawling 300-year-old structure spread over six acres, this is a major gourmet destination, maintained by owners Pat and Nitzi Rabin, who close the place from December 1 to Mother's Day and move to Mexico, where they run a vacation home named Casa Blanca. The place has a fine antique charm in the main dining room that is counterpointed by a modern, bright bistro on the premises. Nitzi is the chef here and he offers sumptuous French and American cuisine in seven-course dinners or in the lighter à la carte menu. Seared line-caught cod comes with jicama, apple, sea beans, bacon, and cream with chervil--the very essence of sublimated New England fare, while jumbo squash and mascarpone are the filling for ravioli with pork loin in a Beaujolais-and-rosemary pork reduction. The precision of French pastry is demonstrated in a textbook example of a chocolate pyramide with fruit and in three impeccably creamy crèmes brûlées."
