Join Our Opening Team - Hiring for Our New Restaurant in Downtown Toronto!

Junior Sous Chef – Concord Room

Concord Room, a new restaurant from Harlo Entertainment and Big Hug Hospitality, is a classic neighbourhood dining room built around food you want to eat often. Sit down for a shrimp cocktail and a martini at the bar. Grab a beef dip or burger for lunch, in and out if you’re on the clock. Stay for dinner and have some Miami cut beef ribs, grilled fish with dill butter, or chicken paprikash over a bottle of wine.

It’s a room that knows when you’re in a hurry and when you’re not. Nice ingredients, cooked well, with everything happening as it should. We take our cues from the grill houses of another era, but keep things a little more relaxed. The easygoing cousin to Linny’s, without the white tablecloths.
