Anerie is Phillip Island’s only true French bistro, a locally loved, high-quality venue known for traditional French cuisine, intimate dining, and a fiercely proud commitment to doing things properly.
We’re currently seeking a qualified, experienced chef to join our team, someone with a passion for French/European cuisine and a knack for maintaining clean, organised, high-functioning kitchens.
What we’re looking for:
- Proven experience in a professional kitchen
- Demonstrated experience with traditional French cooking techniques
- Desire to contribute to or take the lead in menu development
- Team-first mindset, and the ability to work autonomously
- Clean, organised, and proactive, we run tight, not chaotic
- A calm communicator who leads by example
- High food safety and hygiene standards
- Ability to work in a small, collaborative team
IMPORTANT NOTE: Our kitchen is smaller than most domestic kitchens, but it consistently punches above its weight. If you're resourceful, efficient, and thrive in well-run spaces, you’ll fit right in.
What we offer:
- Full-time, stable employment
- A supportive, respectful workplace
- Seasonal menus, French/European fare, and the occasional indulgent degustation
- Real input and room to grow with a passionate team
- Competitive pay (based on experience)
- A team that values professionalism, calmness, and consistency
- Based on Phillip Island — where summer means sun, surf, and nature, and winter brings wild seas, dramatic skies, and the perfect excuse to perfect your sauces
Location: Cowes, Phillip Island
