Job description

We're hiring several experienced a la carte chefs for season and permanent positions across Norway. Work starts as soon as possible, with current openings in various destinations across Norway — most of them outside the larger cities, surrounded by fjords, mountains, and coast.

Many of these positions start as a season but easily convert to long-term, permanent contracts for the right person — one of the most stable routes into long-term work in Norwegian hospitality.

About The Role

You'll cook in a high-skilled international team, serving local Nordic food made from the best seasonal ingredients with a touch of European technique. The kitchens we recruit for value craft, presentation, and consistency — the standard that brings guests back.

What you'll do:

• Prepare a la carte dishes to a high standard, from scratch
• Plate and present at fine dining or high a la carte level
• Work closely with international colleagues across the kitchen brigade
• Maintain consistent quality through busy services

What we’re looking for:

• Minimum 2 years of experience in higher-level a la carte restaurants
• Confidence preparing well-presented, good-quality dishes independently
• Knowledge of French, American, or fine dining cuisines — Nordic or Norwegian cuisine experience is a strong asset
• Strong English (the team is international and English is the daily working language)
• EU/EEA citizenship or a valid right to work in Norway
• Available to start immediately or near-immediately
• Open to relocating to often-rural Norwegian destinations

What we offer:

• Gross salary starting from 43,000 NOK/month, with more depending on experience
• Accommodation provided for a small fee at most locations
• Direct employment with the hotel or restaurant
• Season position with strong potential to convert to permanent
• The chance to work in some of Norway's most beautiful destinations
