EAT

Refined Flavors. Relaxed Spirit.

Opened in the spring of 2004, St. John’s Meeting Place was launched by the team behind the flagship St. John’s Restaurant to offer the same high-calibre hospitality in a more relaxed, modern-bistro setting.


Located originally next door to the Market-Street site of the main restaurant, it became known for its elevated small-plates, international inspiration, and a comfortable atmosphere where conversation and shared discovery took centre stage.


In recent years, Meeting Place joined the move to the address at 729 Chestnut Street to bring both venues under one roof and continue evolving the casual-refined concept for Chattanooga’s dining scene.
