WELCOME TO OUR RESTAURANT IN GUELPH

TO WHERE WE THINK GLOBALLY & ACT LOCALLY

What happens when you give a team of talented, young culinary professionals the absolute freshest local ingredients possible and challenge them to create a menu that tastes like Guelph?

You get a lot of happy chefs and a lot of happy bellies. From sustainable, regionally-grown meats and produce, to the cheese for our pizzas and the spirits in our cocktails… we are Guelph.

Whether you call Guelph home, or are just passing through, we would love to meet you. Find us next to the Delta Hotel in Guelph at the corner of Stone Road and Gordon Street.

Make an online reservation to join us for dinner — parking’s on us!

Josh Wright – Executive Chef

Chef Josh Wright’s deep appreciation for all things food was developed at a young age growing up in Southern Ontario and running around his Great Uncle’s vegetable farm. He began cooking at 16, before leaving home to attend Niagara Culinary Institute in 2001. Following formal schooling, he began his apprenticeship in 4 Diamond CAA/AAA kitchens of The Vintage Hotels Group in 2003 under Chef Andrew Dymond.

Following his apprenticeship he has worked across Canada, with Delta Hotels, Marriott International, and several boutique hotels as well as cooking at the James Beard House in Manhattan. Prior to taking the role at Bar Mason, Josh was the Operational Support Resource for all Marriott International Hotel Culinary Operations in Canada.

Josh’s return to Southern Ontario and the great local produce and purveyors that Ontario has to offer will be showcased at Bar Mason. He looks to bring “Simple, Fun, and Local” to all aspects of the hotel.

When not driving the kitchen at Bar Mason and Delta Guelph, he enjoys spending time with his wife and family, and continuing to travel and find the great local spots to eat where no one else knows about.
