The decision by The PearTree owners, Scott and Stephanie Jaeger, did not come lightly and lease negotiations on their Burnaby Heights location had been ongoing well before the pandemic to find a workable agreement. Facing more than a forty percent rent increase, a landlord&#8217;s desire for a \u2018demo clause\u2019 in year one, along with a number of other unworkable clauses have left the reputable husband-wife hospitality team no choice but to close their restaurant as of August 15, 2020.<\/p>\n<p>The PearTree Restaurant team remained committed to finding a solution and focused on safety and the well-being of each other and the guests during these unprecedented times. Stephanie Jaeger admits \u201cthe last several months have been a challenge to say the least. The dedication and commitment from the staff have been unbelievable and with amazing customers and suppliers supporting take out and restricted dining, we brought July sales back to be on par with last year so to not be able to find a solution to the lease is very disappointing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodlifevancouver.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Peartree8.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"45967\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/goodlifevancouver.com\/staging\/2138\/the-peartree-restaurant-closes\/peartree8\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodlifevancouver.com\/staging\/2138\/wp-content\/uploads\/Peartree8.jpg?fit=800%2C533&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"800,533\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"peartree8\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodlifevancouver.com\/staging\/2138\/wp-content\/uploads\/Peartree8.jpg?fit=788%2C525&amp;ssl=1\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-45967\" title=\"peartree8\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodlifevancouver.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Peartree8.jpg?resize=788%2C525\" alt=\"peartree8\" width=\"788\" height=\"525\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodlifevancouver.com\/staging\/2138\/wp-content\/uploads\/Peartree8.jpg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodlifevancouver.com\/staging\/2138\/wp-content\/uploads\/Peartree8.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodlifevancouver.com\/staging\/2138\/wp-content\/uploads\/Peartree8.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/goodlifevancouver.com\/staging\/2138\/wp-content\/uploads\/Peartree8.jpg?resize=450%2C300&amp;ssl=1 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 788px) 100vw, 788px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The PearTree Restaurant has always been a destination outside the mold, bringing together world-class cuisine and downtown elegance with approachability and a sense of community. After taking the helm of a pre-existing restaurant space on Christmas Eve of 1997, Scott and Stephanie Jaeger opened the doors to The Pear Tree Restaurant in January of 1998 following some interior renovations. Positive feedback from diners confirmed that there was a desire for a high quality dining experience outside of the downtown core, and in April of the following year the restaurant was awarded Best New Restaurant from both Vancouver Magazine and the BC Restaurant Association.<\/p>\n<p>Since then, The PearTree Restaurant has been continually recognized regionally and nationally as one of Canada\u2019s leaders in the restaurant business. Stephanie and Scott Jaeger have sparked the\u00a0careers of many hospitality professionals and mentored many at their restaurant, as well as in their community roles as active member and past president of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.lesdames.ca\/\">Les Dames Escoffier BC Chapter\u00a0<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lesdames.ca\/\">(<\/a>Stephanie)\u00a0and active founding member and past president of\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.chefstablesociety.com\/\">Chefs\u2019 Table Society of BC<\/a>\u00a0(Scott). Both Stephanie and Chef Scott have been individually inducted into the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/bcrfahalloffame.com\/about\/\">BCRFA restaurant Hall of Fame<\/a>\u00a0and the entire team past and present is proud to be named again in 2020 to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/canadas100best.com\/\">Canadas Top 100.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The PearTree team take incredible pride in these accolades but most cherish the special moments guests have been able to enjoy at their establishment. \u201cThe memories of this location will live forever. For the foreseeable future, we will offer in-home catering to continue making memories with guests until a new environment presents itself where more memories can be made and new careers launched.\u201d says Stephanie Jaeger. The Jaegers are hopeful in finding a new option; an environment where they can work together with all involved and have a platform to grow and flourish.<\/p>\n<p>The PearTree Restaurant will be taking\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/peartreerestaurant.net\/\">reservations<\/a>\u00a0at their 4120 E. Hasting Street location until August 15, 2020. Scott Jaeger comments, \u201cin a perfect world the hope would have been to have some of the amazingly talented alumni return to cook on the stove and grace the dining room floor alongside the current team with guests from the last two decades enjoying a last Chefs menu. Sadly, this is not the environment for such celebrations.\u201d \u00a0The safety of the staff and guests remain the top priority and reservations will be taken under current dining room restrictions for the remaining two weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Information on how to book a private in-home function will be posted shortly on the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/peartreerestaurant.net\/\">website<\/a>, bringing the quality and elegance of The PearTree Restaurant into the safety of your own home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The PearTree Restaurant closes after twenty-three years of dedication to service.
