Dishwasher / Line Cook

The Prescott

Ottawa, ON

Who we are:

The Prescott is a legendary bar & restaurant in the heart of Little Italy, presenting time-tested recipes and exceptional service. As one of the oldest licensed drinking establishments in Ottawa, and originally named, The Preston Hotel (it stopped renting rooms in 1978), the establishment was re-baptized as The Prescott in 1941.

Now an iconic stop on Preston Street, it is a purposefully retro greasy spoon; an iconic throwback to its days as a public house. The spirit of its memory lives on in the patrons, in its classic sandwiches and pizzas, in the care reserved for its place on Preston Street. Its checkered history is a part of Village lore.
