Tired of cooking the same plate every night? Come cook somewhere worth staying.

Reunion is a chef-driven bistro in a historic 1860s building in Morriston. Our menu is French at heart, with flavours from Asia, the Creole kitchen and beyond: slow-braised beef, crispy pork belly, fragrant curries, house-made sauces and crêpes. Between our dining room, speakeasy nights and private events in our cellar, no two weeks look the same, and you'll never be bored.

Why cooks love it here

• Real money in the kitchen. Our cooks share in the tips, recently about $10 an hour on top of their wage.
• 100% employer-paid benefits. Health, dental and vision, with not a cent in premiums coming off your cheque.
• A real weekend, every week. We're closed Mondays and Tuesdays, so those days are yours.
• Your ideas on the menu. There's room to contribute to features and specials, not just follow a spec sheet.
• An easy drive. We're 15 minutes from Guelph, Cambridge and Kitchener, 30 from Hamilton and Burlington, and right off the 401 with free on-site parking.
