Job description

Swillhouse is an independent hospitality group creating venues with distinct identities and lasting relevance. Across restaurants, bars and late-night music rooms, each space is shaped by craft, atmosphere and a deep attention to detail.

Our venues are only as strong as the people behind them. We care about how the work is done — leadership that’s present, standards that matter, and teams who take pride in their role and the experience they deliver every day.
Restaurant Hubert is a transportive French restaurant tucked beneath Sydney’s CBD, where old-world Parisian lustre, candlelight, and jazz set the tone for indulgent dining. The menu features classic French dishes with modern twists, including escargot with XO butter, kimchi gratin, and crispy-skinned duck l’orange. At Hubert, every detail is deliberate, every hour feels golden, and every visit is an invitation to escape into a world where grandeur, gastronomy, and good times go hand in hand.
