Chambar’s Nico Schuermans has cooked for the likes of Mick Jagger, Prince and former U.S. President Bill Clinton. Notable singer-songwriter Lou Reed and supermodel Cindy Crawford have also visited his restaurant. So how does this award-winning chef attract so many A-list diners?
It all starts with roots in his native Belgium. Nico's grandfather was a serious foodie who exposed his grandson to a number of different restaurants throughout his youth. “By the age of 14, I had a summer job in a three-Michelin-starred French restaurant,” Nico recalls.
Nico went on to graduate from the prestigious CREPAC School of Culinary Arts in Belgium. The classically trained chef was soon honing his skills at several famous European eateries, including a stint as chef de partie at the then three-Michelin-starred Comme Chez Soi in Brussels.

I have been here a few times with different people and have always enjoyed myself. It is best to make a reservation. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere, bright, lots of space between tables. Good amount of seating. The service has always been very good. Many good things in the menu to try and on my last visit we had a few of their daily specials and my out of town guests were just wowed by the meal.
I was taken to Chambar for a first date, and let me just say, that this place was perfect. The food is great, the service is attentive and professional, the cocktail menu is impressive, and overall, a pretty darn good dining experience. If you’re looking to take someone out for a special occasion, this place is the winner. Make sure to make a reso though, otherwise, you’re looking at either a long wait, or having to settle for another place to go instead.
Great cocktails, amazing food and a vibrant room make this a perfect location for a a pre or post show dinner. You won't be disappointed...well only if you can't get in.
My friends and I went to Chambar on a Frfiday evening after a show at the Playhouse Theatre. I have been to Chambar a few times and found it inconsistent, but all our food on Friday was great. Our waiter was kind and knew his drinks and the menu. Just skip the appies and the cakes.
