Chef de Partie and Commis Chef

Pages is a quiet, book-filled café-restaurant on Al Thanya Street, Umm Al Sheif. We're building a small, close-knit kitchen team around a senior chef joining us this autumn, and we're looking for cooks who care about every plate as much as we do. This is a kitchen for people who want to grow. Alongside our all-day café menu, we're developing a reservation-only seasonal tasting experience, so you'll work on refined, multi-course dishes with real attention to technique, sourcing and presentation. Chef de Partie • Run your section with precision and consistency, from mise en place to the pass • Contribute ideas to seasonal and tasting menu development • Train and guide commis chefs and set the standard on your station • Uphold HACCP, food safety and costing discipline (recipes, yields, waste) • 3+ years in quality-driven kitchens, with fine dining or tasting menu experience strongly preferred • Solid classical technique; pastry or bakery skills are a plus Commis Chef • Support stations with accurate, clean, well-organised prep • Learn and follow recipes and plating specs to the letter • Keep your section spotless and food-safe at all times • 1+ year in a professional kitchen, or culinary school graduate with strong placements • Curious, disciplined, and eager to learn refined technique What we look for in everyone • Pride in detail: you taste everything and notice when something is off • Calm under pressure and respectful with colleagues in both kitchen and floor teams • Reliability, punctuality and a clean, organised way of working • A genuine wish to grow with a small team rather than move on quickly What we offer • A clear growth path: commis to demi to CDP, with hands-on mentoring from a senior chef • The chance to help shape a new tasting menu from the start • A calm, respectful, music-free workplace with a small team and no big-kitchen chaos • Competitive package based on experience How to apply: Send your CV and 2 to 3 photos of dishes you've cooked to [email protected], with "CDP" or "Commis" in the subject line. Shortlisted candidates will be invited for a trial shift. Show more Show less
