Opened in the summer of 1999, SOCIAL was received as the perfect blend of restaurant and bar. It was envisioned as a place where guests could enjoy an evening drink without feeling obligated to order dinner too, but where a sizzling menu meant that food was always an excellent option.20 years later, SOCIAL continues to deliver. Known in the capital city for its ambiant and modern vibe, fifteen-foot ceilings, its secluded and beautiful courtyard patio, and gorgeous stone walls inside + out-- SOCIAL offers an unparalleled atmosphere for a sit-down dinner or some after-work cocktails. Guests can expect high-quality professional service and a menu to match, proving that SOCIAL is truly a downtown destination that has it all.Come enjoy the culinary experience given by our Head Chef Peter Schulz and his team.

    This was my first time visiting for brunch, though I’ve been here before for Happy Hour. My friend ordered the omelet, and I had the breakfast poutine paired with grapefruit mimosas—everything was absolutely delicious! The atmosphere was lively, though initially a bit too noisy for our liking. Once the two nearby tables cleared out, it became much more enjoyable. Service was a little slow; our waitress didn’t check in often, so we found ourselves trying to flag her down a few times. Despite the minor hiccups, we had a great time. I definitely recommend this spot for brunch or Happy Hour and will be coming back!

    The food was very good and very affordable for the quality. The service was superb and the ambiance was great. The person assisting to our table was attentive to her customers and took time to ensure our experience was positive. We had also limited time while attending to a show at the NAC and she ensured that our food was served on time for us to make our way to the NAC. Would definitely recommend reservations on weekends as it tends to be quite busy.
