Assistant Restaurant Manager - The Rabbit Hole

In the heart of 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.
