Love a great environment, eager to learn and grow yourself as a chef? The Red Accordion is looking to add to our kitchen team and we're searching for a sous chef, senior cook and CDP!
We opened our doors in 2019 and since then have established a solid reputation for great atmosphere, service, food and drinks. We are a small, independently run mom & pop shop and we take a ton of pride in what we do. Unfortunately our very talented chef will be leaving us for another opportunity, we appreciate everything he has done and his menu has given us a stellar reputation for quality, homemade food. That said, we have just brought on another talented head chef to help bring our food program to the next level!
Our new chef comes with a fresh inspiration of passion and experience in fine-dining. There is a lot to be excited for when applying!
This position will be for both days and/or nights, and must have open availability or at least 5 days available a week for Senior cook/Sous, and 2 or 3 days for part time.

Our menu will continue to focus on contemporary cuisine with ingredients sourced from local farms and fish mongers, prepared with a variety of different cooking techniques, and textures. Candidates with pasta experience, whole animal butchery, fish butchery, and love for fermentation are the perfect fit! Being as wild in the kitchen as you can be is highly encouraged.
A positive work-life balance is important to us and we do everything we can to nurture those goals. This includes sustainable hours, an amazing environment to work in. Shifts vary but will include mornings, evenings and weekends. Training can begin immediately.
