JOB OPENING | HEAD CHEF | LISBON

Our kitchens need some extra help in the Lisbon area!

If you're familiar with the concept of mise en place and know that life in a kitchen is about much more than just the fine art of brunoise cutting, this gig is for you.

We’re looking for someone like you: a culinary master who really knows their stuff. Someone who enjoys plating dishes and pays close attention to presentation. A person who takes just as much pride in serving up a delicious “arroz malandro” as they do a Vichyssoise à la Les Halles. 


What is required:

  • More than 2 years of experience in the kitchen (or the equivalent in calluses);
  • Knowing what HACCP is (and following it to the letter); 
  • Independence, team spirit, and nerves of steel;
  • Proficiency in Portuguese and English;
  • Being able to improvise, without coming up with anything too elaborate.


What is highly valued:

  • To be a master of mise en place;
  • Knowing how to change a menu plan on short notice;
  • To have strong opinions about the perfect way to do everything;
  • Good plating skills;
  • To be as demanding as Gordon Ramsay, yet as laid-back as Snoop Dogg;

What we offer:

  • A close-knit, cheerful team that, as a rule, leaves its egos at the door;
  • An exciting challenge, with a long road ahead;
  • Liters and liters of responsibility;
  • Opportunities to grow, learn, and teach;
  • Access to events, workshops, and other culinary adventures;
  • An environment where creativity is not only welcome but also strongly encouraged;
  • Beer. Lots of beer.
