Sous Chef at BÆST
BÆST is a unique restaurant, with in-house production of raw milk cheeses, charcuterie based on the best quality pork in the country and woodfired pizza that is considered among the world’s finest.
We are searching for experienced kitchen managers and sous chefs to join our dynamic team
We are serious about organic food, and are looking for people who can be enthusiastic ambassadors of our philosophy.
At BÆST, our chefs are getting an all-round and exciting training into modern sustainable and organic cooking. We make everything from scratch; raw milk cheeses as mozzarella, ricotta, yogurt, mascarpone and more. Charcuterie based on the highest conceivable quality of pork transformed into prosciutto, salamis of all kinds, our famous 'Nduja, guanciale, pancetta, culatello and more. The kitchen is closely connected to the Farm of Ideas where we source most of our vegetables and besides meats of outstanding quality we proudly serve vegetables that are simply cooked but truly remarkable. The kitchen works for both Bæst and Mirabelle the latter being provided with freshly made pasta and simple lunch and brunch dishes.
Finally the pizza needs no introduction as it has been awarded with several world-class titles over the years and is considered amongst the world's finest.
It would be a mistake to think of BÆST as a pizzeria though - we are a restaurant that serves high-end dishes in a laid back and fun environment - we are much more than pizza.
We are looking for some one that has a passion for organic top-shelf produce and that thrive in a busy and energetic environment. The team is young, very international, and with very different levels of experience and backgrounds. English is the spoken language but some Italian skills might help with certain pronunciations of menu items. ;-)
The chefs in the BÆST and Mirabelle kitchens are also serving the dishes at the tables, so you will need to be comfortable in communicating with the guests and front of house staff.
Working hours are generally from 11.00 - to 23.00. We are organized with a cleaning company to clean down the kitchen after the shifts so that the cooks can focus on the cooking.
