Assistant Chef (m/w)

For the reopening of the Stockhorn Grill Restaurant, newly managed by the rex Hotel, we are looking for a cook to support our kitchen team.

At the Stockhorn Restaurant we specialize in cooking over an open wood fire. Our focus is on the enjoyment of quality products that promote biodiversity and the region, and comply with our slow-food philosophy at the rex. Through a seasonal menu, we support the sustainable development of the region. The restaurant offers a pleasant, informal atmosphere and an authentic restaurant experience in the mountains.

We’re looking for a chef that will run a kitchen team of a hundred seat grill restaurant during service time. You will be working under the Head Chef Thomas Haugstvedt, and will run the kitchen service by yourself. While working with us, you will experience and learn the philosophy of “farm to table”: whole animal butchery, dry aging, charcuterie making, charcoal grilling, etc. are some of the interesting things we will be exploring together.
