Job Description
RHEA, a recruitment agency specialized in Hospitality and Food & Beverage professions, is seeking a:
Head Chef (M/F)
Location: Normandy Coast, France
This 3-star hotel with a traditional restaurant was taken over in December 2024 and is currently undergoing redevelopment.
The project aims to rebuild a strong culinary identity centered around authentic French bourgeois cuisine, rooted in high-quality Normandy local produce.
The future Head Chef will play a central role in this transition by restructuring the kitchen, leading and mentoring the team, and actively contributing to the revival of the establishment.
The restaurant is in a relaunch phase, with a loyal clientele gradually returning and a clear ambition: to restore consistency, generosity, and coherence in the gastronomic offering.
The activity is currently ramping up ahead of the high season (May to September).
150 m² kitchen – excellent working environment!

-
Oversee daily organization, production, orders, inventory management, and food cost control.

Participate in defining margin and performance objectives with the management.
-
Represent the kitchen and the values of the house to clients and partners.
Establishments such as Le Café des Ministères, La Fontaine de Mars, Le Relai Barbizon, or Henriette (Cabourg) exemplify the culinary philosophy sought: traditional, sincere, and well-crafted bourgeois cuisine.

Strong knowledge of French gastronomy and quality produce.
