After all these years, this historic little restaurant on the shores of St. Andrews is looking for passionate kitchen people to join us for the season.
We cook fresh. No deep fryer, no shortcuts — just real food, scratch cooking, and a kitchen that takes pride in every plate. We're a licensed restaurant (beer & wine) and our guests travel to be here. You'd be cooking in one of the most beautiful spots in Atlantic Canada.

✈️ Seasonal position (spring–fall) — winters are yours to travel, work abroad, or stage somewhere new

🏠 Housing isn't provided, but St. Stephen and the surrounding area have options.

If you know someone who loves to cook and wants a season worth remembering — please share this post. It means the world to a small historic restaurant trying to find the right people. 🙏

Thank you for your orders and support but we are not able to take any more orders for tourtieres or chicken pot pies. Those who had ordered can pick up tomorrow (Sunday Nov 23), at the restaurant, between 10am and noon. I will post other pick up days as they become available.

If you ordered Tourtiere ($30) or chicken pot pie ($24), you can pick up at the restaurant until about 4pm today (or any day you see David's van in the driveway). Payment is by cash or etransfer to [email protected]. As we are closed for the season we do not have an interac machine. Remember, the filling is precooked so you will cook at 350 degrees for approximately an hour and fifteen minutes or until the crust is done to your liking.

Happy eating!
