Restaurant manager with a flair for details

Restaurant Madeleine is seeking a restaurant manager with an eye for the special something!

We are looking for you who want to become Yves Le Lay's right hand and an important part of Restaurant Madeleine's continued journey.

Restaurant Madeleine opened in November 2025 and has already been recommended in the MICHELIN Guide as well as received strong reviews in the national newspapers. We have had a really good start – but we are far from finished, and now we are looking for the right person to join us in taking the next step.

We are a small team with high ambitions, where the kitchen and the restaurant work closely together. We put our energy into creating strong experiences four evenings a week, from Wednesday to Saturday.

We are looking for the best person for the job: a restaurant manager who can both create good and personable service, take responsibility, set direction and help lift Madeleine further.
