Head Chef for Restaurant ANKER in Aarhus

Do you want to lead a kitchen where quality, ingredients and good craftsmanship are in focus – and where you get real influence on both operations and development?

We are seeking a head chef who wants to lead the kitchen at Restaurant ANKER – and who thrives on being an active part of the daily operations.

If you are primarily motivated by administrative tasks and distance from service, this is not the right role.

Hos os er køkkenchefen på gulvet – i prep, service og ved selskaber – sammen med sit team.
