Per se? Perfection. Social corner? More like centre stage. This is Per Se Social Corner, a Michelin recommended restaurant. My friends and I all ordered the Smoked Salmon Eggs Benedict ($24), which was truly one of the best I’ve had. What sets Per Se Social Corner's version apart is its use of fresh artisanal ciabatta (typically English muffins or croissants) and roasted potato rounds (typically diced if any, so these are extra crispy). Everything was executed perfectly, including the exquisite soft-medium poached eggs, rich hollandaise sauce, and zesty heritage greens. While prices verge on the higher side, the quality speaks for itself and I would come back again just for this dish alone. Not only that, but the service we received was also incredible. We were here for my friend's birthday, and as a surprise, brought her favourite pastries. There was no cake fee and our server kindly provided plates and offered to take a group picture for us. They also accommodated dietary restrictions and provided ketchup and both chili oil and flakes upon request. Since we came at opening, there was no wait, but reservations can easily be made online and is recommended during busier times. There was another table nearby celebrating a birthday, so Per Se Social Corner really is the social spot to be for a special occasion or just a special treat. It has a rustic contemporary feel, elevated by its high ceilings, floor to ceiling windows, dimly lit chandeliers, contemporary bar, artisanal pizza station, and cozy patio.

When you go out for an evening to dine, what are you craving for? Great atmosphere? Great Food? Great Service? Great Menu? Well.....we got that all here. The environment was actually stunning. It was tasteful, classy, chic and vibrant. Their bar is impressive and their food is creative and tasty. The Calamari was prepared the way Calamari is supposed to be prepared and unfortunately rarely is these days....but these guys got it down to a science. Fresh squid with the right proportion of batter, so the crisp accompanies the seafood and not the other way around. You taste the beautiful Squid with a light finish of batter paired with grilled jalapeno and two dips that were....well...bloody delicious. The Charred Chorizo with pita....what can I say about this beauty....just try it. Now for the Truffle Fries. Do you like Truffle fries? Well.....they serve the real ones here. I've ordered them in several other places in Yaletown and they failed. They served me regular fries sprinkled some oregano on top, charged me for truffle fries and that was it. With these guys ..you get Truffle Fries. The service was impressive. We were always take care of on a Saturday evening. Cassie was great and we also had other staff being attentive, coming by and making sure all is well. Smiles, hard work, attention and appreciation with wonderful food and a bar that doesn't compromise. What else could you ask for on a Saturday evening out?! Will be back.

Dined in on a quiet Tuesday night. Mediocre food, subpar service, overall disappointing - not Michelin guide worthy in my opinion. I’d called beforehand to ask when last call for food would be and was told 10:45pm. I was sat at the bar where I was informed by the bartender that there was only pizza available until 10:45 and the rest of the food had been last called at 10. After a few minutes of figuring out what I was going to do, he came back and told me that the info I’d received on the phone was correct and the kitchen was in fact fully open until 10:45 (apparently this was a new thing? like the timing of last call for the full menu?). Fantastic - I asked about appetizers and he recommend the wagyu carpaccio which I was interested in so I ordered that and the cacio e pepe. A few minutes later he came back and told me they were out of the carpaccio 😀😀 so I got the patatas bravas instead. Patatas bravas was fine, lacked depth. Cacio e pepe was with fresh casarecce from Acquafarina (same owner)… underwhelming. Pasta itself was fine, the plate as a whole just wasn’t there for me/there’s sooo much better pasta in this city. Simple dishes can sometimes be difficult to deliver on… Bartenders were like nice but, as mentioned, missed the mark on several counts and were not very attentive otherwise (I understand they were in the process of closing the bar). Overall extremely underwhelming. You can find way better food & service at countless other spots around the city. Would not recommend or return - a shame, as the room is nice.

I had an uncomfortable and disappointing experience here for my friends birthday dinner. First, let me clear that the service from our waiter was fantastic. Cocktails were great too! Unfortunately, the food and experience with management fell far short from what you would expect from a Michelin recommended restaurant. The attached image is a 22 dollar “tapa” plate for four people. We were quite disappointed when this arrived at our table. Moreover, we ordered the paella, which had clams. The clams and muscles tasted quite off, bordering on spoiled. It ruined our appetite for the rest of the meal. The manager (at least we think it was the manager) made our table incredibly uncomfortable during our visit. Throughout the evening, he consistently and constantly stared at our table from afar. It was very unnerving. Also, since there is no disclaimer on the website or on the phone when we made a reservation, you are not allowed to bring your own birthday cake here, unlike other Michelin recommended restaurants I’ve been to in Vancouver. Management claimed they were unable to serve my friends birthday cake due to cross contamination concerns, but that isn’t logical considering we were served spoiled shellfish which is also, a huge health hazard.

We discovered the Social Corner on one of our morning walks while visiting Vancouver. The gorgeous atmosphere and unique concept was so inviting! We checked it out one evening and had such an amazing experience that we decided to make it our last stop before heading back to North Carolina; our second visit did not disappoint! We first met Patrick, who greeted us from behind the bar. He was engaging, provided great recommendations, and wonderful service during both visits. Then we met Zach, (maybe) the bar manager. Like Patrick, he was so welcoming, engaging, and made us feel like regulars. His cocktail knowledge is impeccable! He spent time sharing his passion for high quality, unique cocktails; and suggested the perfect one for each of us, along with delicious dishes. The cocktails and dishes did not disappoint! Definitely try out the unique varieties of limoncello spritz! Derek, the cocktail maker, was focused, creating each cocktail with detail. We were fortunate to chat with him for a few minutes, and like everyone we met at the Social Corner, he was friendly, professional and engaging. If in Vancouver, definitely check out the Social Corner for its beautiful atmosphere, amazing service, unique cocktails, and delicious food!

Been wanting to try Social Corner for some time now. And on the impulse decided to pop in for Easter 🐣 brunch. On arrival the manager Shaunne was brilliant! Incredible personality and communication. Our server was decent but seemed she had too many tables to handle as I had to chase her down to get her attention for some food order changes. Food took very long and the table next to us that came in 10min after us got their food before us. Place was busy and vibe is great. Menu has lots of great choices. The burger 🍔 is supposed to be spectacular! So I decided to try the brunch burger and to top it off it’s the only spot in Vancouver where you can order your burger the way you want it and that’s brilliant as most of Canada paranoid and afraid to eat a little rare ground meat. I always had to go to states to get a rare burger. So that’s a big win for me. Flavour was not as exciting as I had hoped and the blend of meats were tasty. Was not crazy about the caramelized onions, firstly they were cold and then over cooked imo. Always love an egg on a burger. Other meals looked good and the pizza 🍕 seemed to fall apart too easy. Overall was a great time and will probably be back to try out the pizza but and some of their desserts.
