Per Se Social Corner – Coal Harbour
While this one’s a bit more of a wait, Michelin-recognized restaurant Per Se Social Corner is expanding to Coal Harbour this fall, and we couldn’t be more excited to share the news. The popular spot for authentic Italian and Spanish fare will have a new outpost across from the Pac Rim with “Mallorcan and Sicilian vibes,” according to a recent release.
The new location will have a seafood focus, paying homage to the previous Chewies’ spot. Guests can expect to enjoy brunch, lunch, and dinner seven days a week from 11 am to 11 pm.

With 4,000 square feet of patio space and 20-foot-high ceilings, this date night spot has us excited for the summer.

This sourdough-focused spot in East Van is already active among local farmer’s markets, but its new storefront should be opening sooner rather than later!

Where “Tokyo meets New York,” there’s Wa-Bagel. Vancouverites will soon be able to enjoy delicious Japanese-style bagels, thanks to the latest concept by Aburi Restaurants.

When: Summer 2023

Cobs Bread – Cambie
Cobs is opening a new location on Cambie Street and West 8th, which means Vancouverites will soon have another spot to frequent for their fave Cobs orders, and birthday cinnamon buns!
