You are an expert in all areas of the kitchen, from finessing starters through to perfectly grilling our signature Côte de Boeuf. You’re confident in stepping up from one section to helping oversee the entire kitchen operation. There is no question that you are the right hand of the Head Chef.
You know the menu like the back of your hand. Whether it’s Steak Frites, or a French Onion Soup seasoned to perfection, you have the skill to work multiple sections in the kitchen and we give you the opportunity to work with fresh food and quality ingredients that change with the seasons.
You are the most important ingredient in the kitchen. Without you the restaurant just would not function. It’s as simple as that.

We make every interaction into an occasion to savour and enjoy. We help everyone make the most of the small and the big things. The way we do things, is uniquely Côte, an experience that can’t be replicated anywhere else.
