Chef de Partie | Mediterranean Restaurant | 5-Star Lux…

Some kitchens teach you a position. This kitchen teaches you a completely different way of cooking.

In just four months, this restaurant has established itself as one of Amsterdam's most talked-about dining destinations. From breakfast through dinner, guests come here to experience a modern Mediterranean menu built around bold flavours, seasonal ingredients and beautifully balanced dishes.

The concept has proven itself. Guests are returning, reviews are strong and the restaurant is thriving. Now it's time to strengthen the kitchen team with chefs who want to continue building on that success.

Learn a culinary philosophy that has inspired chefs around the world

You'll be working according to the culinary vision of one of the world's most influential chefs, internationally recognised for redefining modern Mediterranean cuisine. His restaurants and cookbooks have inspired millions of people worldwide and changed the way chefs think about vegetables, herbs, spices and flavour.

Although he is not based in Amsterdam, his philosophy is brought to life every day by the Executive Chef on site, who worked closely alongside him for many years and knows every detail of the concept.

During your first weeks, you'll receive hands-on training in the recipes, techniques and standards that make this kitchen so distinctive.

No previous experience with Mediterranean cuisine is required.

If you have a recognised culinary qualification, at least two years of professional kitchen experience and the motivation to learn, we'll teach you everything else.

A menu unlike anywhere else

From breakfast until dinner, the restaurant offers a vibrant all-day shared dining concept centred around modern Mediterranean cuisine.

Fresh herbs, seasonal vegetables, citrus, tahini, za'atar, sumac and bold spices play a leading role. The menu changes every season, giving you the opportunity to work with new ingredients, techniques and dishes throughout the year.

This style of cooking is rarely found at this level in the Netherlands, making it a unique opportunity to broaden your culinary expertise and add something truly distinctive to your CV.

Cooking for an international audience

Serving more than 100 guests a day, you'll work in a fast-paced environment where teamwork, consistency and attention to detail are essential.

You'll be part of a brigade consisting of an Executive Chef, Sous Chef and four Chef de Parties, covering the cold section, grill, entremetier and pastry. Each service is delivered by a close-knit team of around five chefs working together to maintain exceptional standards.
