Belle Meade Social to Open in East Memphis

Expect the contemporary American restaurant to open at the corner of Poplar-Perkins this spring.

Anyone need an extra order of Parmesan truffle fries for the table? The upcoming Belle Meade Social has you covered, alongside plenty of other refined American favorites.

Named for the surrounding residential neighborhood, Belle Meade Social plans to open this spring at 518 Perkins Extended. The menu aims to deliver contemporary and elevated takes on classic American cuisine; look out for the Belle Meade burger, a spicy tuna stack, Asian chopped salad, and brick chicken.

Founding partners Jules Jordan and Paul Stephens are leading the effort alongside executive chef Eric Ingraham, who most recently has worked with Pimento’s for the better part of a decade. “We’re excited to add to the energy of the Poplar-Perkins corridor and serve as a destination for everyday yet upscale dining,” said Jordan in a statement. “Whether for business lunch, happy hour, a special occasion, or family dinner, we’re creating a space that can authentically serve as everyone’s neighborhood spot.”

Belle Meade Social will feature lunch, dinner, and late-night dining. The Garden Room can accomodate fine dining for a nice evening meal, while the expansive bar is perfect for a more casual night out. Meanwhile, the Tuckahoe Room is available for private receptions and cocktails.

More info, such as the full menu and hours, will be available closer to opening, so stay tuned.
