Sous Chef - The Rabbit Hole

A new addition to Toronto’s Financial District, The Rabbit Hole invites guests to hop on over for elevated pub food, exceptional cocktails, and great conversation—either outside on our lush three-level patio or inside our whimsically designed dining room.

Rooted in bold British flavours and locally sourced ingredients, our menu consists of familiar comfort classics and cheeky twists on old-fashioned pub food. Here, we’re all about time-honoured bar snacks like Scotch eggs, rarebit toast, and sausage rolls; as well as gastro-standouts such as ale-battered halibut and chips, steak and mushroom pie, a double decker chuck burger, and, quite fittingly, rabbit tagliatelle!

What's in it for you?

• Paid vacation, personal, and sick days
• Gratuity sharing
• Health, Dental and Visions benefits with Enhanced Mental Health Coverage
• Discounted gym membership and Employee Assistance Program
• Group Life & Disability Insurance
• Management Uniform Reimbursement
