CHEF WANTED – Anerie Bistro, Phillip Island
Permanent | Full-Time | Immediate Start
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 looking for a qualified, experienced chef to join our team, someone with a passion for French food and a head for 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
* Confident leadership, a 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
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 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
