Chef de Cuisine

NYT Top 100 Restaurant | NYC

Middle Eastern & Mediterranean-Inspired Hip Hot Spot

An extraordinary opportunity awaits for a talented and passionate Chef de Cuisine to take the helm of one of New York City's most celebrated kitchens. This restaurant—a flagship concept within a James Beard Award–nominated hospitality group—has been recognized as one of the New York Times Top 100 Best Restaurants in America for 2025.

Deeply rooted in the vibrant culinary traditions of the Middle East and Mediterranean, the restaurant showcases bold, soulful dishes with seasonal ingredients, regional influences, and modern interpretations. This is a kitchen that tells a story — one of heritage, community, and culinary excellence — and we’re looking for a chef ready to carry that narrative forward.

About the Role

As Chef de Cuisine, you’ll oversee all aspects of back-of-house operations, driving kitchen excellence and culinary creativity while managing a team of passionate, skilled professionals. You’ll have the autonomy to collaborate on seasonal menu development, introduce new ideas rooted in tradition, and create exceptional guest experiences in a bustling, design-forward setting.

This is not just a job — it’s a chance to grow with a team that believes in mentorship, quality, and a real love for hospitality. Our ideal candidate brings both vision and execution: someone who understands what it takes to run a high-volume NYC kitchen while pushing boundaries on the plate.

  • What You’ll Be Responsible For:Leading daily kitchen operations, ensuring consistency, cleanliness, and precision in every dish
  • Collaborating closely with ownership and the Culinary Director on seasonal and strategic menu development
  • Managing food and labor costs while upholding the highest standards of quality and sourcing
  • Hiring, training, and developing BOH staff to foster growth, discipline, and creativity
  • Overseeing prep, service, and closing protocols with care and leadership
  • Ensuring all DOH health and safety standards are met with consistency and integrity
  • Supporting a positive and inclusive kitchen culture based on respect, transparency, and teamwork
  • What We’re Looking For:5–7+ years of progressive kitchen leadership, including experience as CDC or Exec Sous in high-volume, full-service NYC restaurants
  • A strong foundation in Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, or Levantine cuisines
  • Proven ability to lead and inspire teams in a fast-paced, quality-driven kitchen
  • Solid command of kitchen systems: prep, production, inventory, ordering, cost control
  • A balance of creativity, humility, and business acumen
  • High emotional intelligence, excellent communication, and a true passion for hospitality

Compensation & Benefits💰 Salary: $95,000 – $110,000 annually, depending on experience

🎁 Benefits:

  • Comprehensive health insurance
  • Paid time off (including vacation and sick days)
  • Staff dining privileges across the restaurant group
  • Growth opportunities within a rapidly expanding, critically acclaimed company
  • The chance to make your mark in one of NYC’s most talked-about culinary destinations

About the Restaurant Group

Our hospitality group is home to five uniquely loved concepts across New York City. Known for warm hospitality, vibrant dining experiences, and a dedication to ingredient-driven cooking, our team has earned multiple James Beard Award nominations and national acclaim. We believe in fostering careers, investing in people, and creating restaurants that are not only successful — but soulful, story-driven, and full of purpose.

If you’re a culinary leader ready to bring bold, beautiful food to life — and want to grow with a team that’s redefining what hospitality looks and tastes like — we’d love to hear from you.

Apply today to lead one of New York City’s most dynamic kitchens.
