ABOUT THE POSITION

WHO WE ARE

Recognized as Canada's Best New Restaurant of 2015 by Air Canada's enRoute magazine, Pigeonhole Beltline was first dreamed up in the back of a London taxi. It was conceptualized as a place for spontaneity; a place you'd discover on your way to dinner and never leave. A place that could evolve and adapt with time that wasn't beholden to a specific culinary focus and includes a small but deliberate wine, beer and cocktail list. Focused on warm and intentional hospitality and ever-changing dishes, the menu will give customers a culinary experience like no other in Calgary.
