Chef de Partie - Main Kitchen & Staff Restaurant

About Us

As a hotel, De L'Europe is home to a variety of culinary destinations as diverse as the city of Amsterdam itself. Guests can enjoy everything from a casual bitterbal and a cold, foamy Heineken beer to an elevated six-course dining experience accompanied by a luxury wine pairing.

But our culinary attention does not stop with our guests. We also want to provide our own colleagues with fresh, flavourful and high-quality meals every day. That is why we are looking for a Chef de Partie who plays an important role in both our Main Kitchen and our Staff Restaurant. Someone who takes ownership, enjoys working as part of a team and thrives in a dynamic kitchen environment where quality is always at the heart of everything we do.

What You’ll Do

As a Chef de Partie at De L'Europe Amsterdam, you will work within a diverse and dynamic kitchen operation. You will be responsible for preparing dishes with skill and precision, from mise-en-place through to final service, ensuring that your daily responsibilities run smoothly and efficiently.

Within the Staff Restaurant, you will contribute to preparing daily meals for our colleagues. You will help create varied menus, ensure excellent preparation and presentation, and know how to combine quality and flavour with an efficient way of working. You enjoy preparing dishes that cater to different preferences and dietary needs and contribute to making sure our colleagues can enjoy a great meal every day.

In addition, you will support the Main Kitchen where needed and work closely with the different kitchen teams. You will place orders based on recipes and planning, assist with implementing new dishes and actively contribute ideas for improvements. You will share your knowledge with colleagues and play an important role in the daily kitchen operation.

Naturally, you will always work in accordance with HACCP guidelines. Quality, hygiene and safety are never up for discussion.
