HEAD CHEF

Le Raisin remains above all a family endeavour where kindness and respect prevail. The structure (approx. 70 covers) will employ about ten collaborators.

As Head Chef, you will be in direct contact with management and lead a team of experienced professionals. Your mission will be to propose, in line with our DNA and in collaboration with the establishment’s manager, a refined and authentic culinary offer, respecting the products and cooking methods, with a gastronomic vocation.

Your duties:

• Designing menus changing every 4-6 weeks with management;
• Regular and rigorous production of dishes;
• Operational supervision of the kitchen team, ensuring compliance with quality, safety, and hygiene standards;
• Managing supplies (quality, quantity, stock rotation and ingredients) and optimising costs while maintaining high preparation quality;
• Compliance with labour legislation.

We offer:

• The opportunity to take the lead (the knife handle) where everything is to be written (discovered), at the start of an enchanting adventure!
• A dynamic and caring work environment, a human-sized and humane team;
• An employer aware of the effort and presence you offer, valuing your work and fostering your presence for a long-term experience;
• The opportunity to bring your vision, ideas, and creativity to the project.

Note: accommodation may be available near the establishment.

Your profile:

You know how to organise, structure, and energise kitchen operations by instilling a culture oriented towards quality and rigour.

You have a solid initial training in cooking and your career as well as the establishments you have worked in have already allowed you to assume the role of Head Chef or Sous-chef. Confirmed experience in a starred restaurant (or equivalent in terms of requirements) is a plus.

You control your costs and are comfortable with common computer tools as well as HACCP tracking systems.

You radiate and maintain a positive and constructive working atmosphere around you.

You have a particular interest in 100% homemade transformation of products, from field or animal to plate, with an interest in better understanding what makes a product quality and respecting it.

Start date: 15 October 2026 (establishment opening on 3 November 2026)
