The restaurant’s extensive drinks menu gets even better with half-price bottles of wine on Wednesdays and half-price signature cocktails every Thursday.

Chef’s Table is a weekly guest-only event – those who have previously dined at the restaurant and joined the mailing list can be invited to dine at this exclusive event, a behind-the-scenes, intimate experience with the chef as he prepares a secret menu for the guests.

Whether diners are seated at the chef’s table or elsewhere in the restaurant, what doesn’t change is the elegant interior that evokes a feeling of luxury.

The restaurant design is based on the concept of eco-luxury, integrating the outdoors with nature-based decor, plants and greenery that make every visit to Habitat Social Modern Kitchen a special occasion.

Habitat Social Modern Kitchen is run by Jordan Chang, who has always had a passion for preparing great food. He was previously known for running his own catering business and delighting guests at markets and festivals with his popular fried chicken recipe, which he learned during a trip to Korea.

Eventually, his love of cooking led him to leave his longtime nursing job and pursue his true passion: opening his own restaurant.

“Everything about this restaurant is a labor of love. We don’t use anything out of a can or jar, nothing frozen. We prepare everything fresh on site,” says restaurant owner Jordan Chang.

“I just want people to enjoy the moment, whether you’re with family or friends, eating, sharing different stories. That’s why the restaurant is called Habitat Social: it’s where the community as a whole socializes.

The restaurant also has a popular lunch menuand is open for brunch weekends and public holidays.

With great food and drinks, an extravagant atmosphere and exclusive offers, the new restaurant already seems to be one of Mississauga’s best places for special events – whether it’s a girls’ night out, a romantic dinner or formal celebration with friends and family. .
