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. Find us on Wednesdays 6 to 9 for Live Music, and Sundays 5-8!

    Dined on 2 Mar 2025
    We chose the 7 courses degustation menu, but with no wine pairing. Excellent! an adventure in flavors, not to be missed in Ottawa. The lesser points however were: a) the lack of available parking, although we still found a solution thanks to the tolerance of the service team, b) the atmosphere of the place, partly because of the ultra modern decor and physical architecture, which tends to be more impersonal (But this is our personal choice). The service was quite good, and staff were attentive. Not to detract to the actual positive experience, we would have appreciated more explanations about what makes the Kerala/southern India flavors so unique, and the culinary roots and the cultural context (as it was a culinary experience); this could have complemented the experience further. Overall the experience is well worth it, and we would repeat it because of the quality of the food, and the particularly well balanced flavors. They have a varied menu, aside of the degustation one, and we will focus on this in our future visits. Can't wait!
