Head Chef (Le Café LPM)

JobsCloseBy Editorial Insights

Le Café LPM in Dubai seeks a Head Chef to lead the first kitchen, translating the French Mediterranean concept into a precise operation that blends dining with simple, beautifully executed dishes. You will own the kitchen, develop a team, manage food cost, waste and stock, and maintain top quality and hygiene while nurturing supplier relationships. French language skills preferred, any European language a bonus. What matters most is proven leadership, a seasonal ingredient-led approach, and the ability to scale a new concept across locations. To apply, send your CV and a brief note highlighting leadership, cost control and brand fit, not an essay.

Le Café LPM is a neighbourhood café for the modern city, where French Riviera spirit meets everyday urban life. All-day dining, done beautifully. Croissants made properly. Fish grilled simply. Spritzes that feel like a terrace in July. Nothing overcomplicated. Everything just right.

Dubai opens soon and other locations are already in development. We are looking for the chef who will lead the first kitchen and help build what comes next.

You lead the daily kitchen operation for Le Café LPM. You own the team and the standards set by the Brand Executive Chef. You bring the culinary concept to life - consistent, precise, and always true to the brand.

What we are looking for

• You oversee supplier relationships, purchasing, and stock levels to ensure the best ingredients are always available and nothing is wasted.

• You ensure the Quality and Hygiene standards.

• You speak French and/or and a European language is an asset.
