About Upriver Social House

Upriver Social House is a new upscale casual farm-to-table restaurant opening in downtown Chilliwack, BC at 9254 Nowell Street. We are built around a simple idea: buy the best ingredients from the Fraser Valley, and then get out of their way.

Our menu celebrates what grows, swims, and grazes within 100 kilometres of our kitchen ? BC salmon, Fraser Valley lamb, Chilliwack berries, locally made burrata. We cook with intention and serve with genuine warmth.

Our name says it all. Going upriver means moving against the easy current ? toward something wilder, truer, and more nourishing. That spirit lives in every plate we send out, and in every person who is part of this team.

?Farm · River · Community? ? This is not just a tagline. It is how we make every decision, from which farm we call on Monday morning to how we treat every guest who walks through our door.
