Head Chef In Lagos, Algarve Full Time

We’re looking for a highly professional and motivated chef to work in our boutique surf lodge located in the Algarve. If you’re experienced, forward-thinking and passionate about cooking healthy and diverse meals, we want to hear from you. The ideal candidate for this position will understand our clientele and always have a finger on the pulse of culinary trends.

The Head Chef will be responsible for creating healthy, delicious and nutritious restaurant-style two-course dinners in the evenings for up to 20 guests with varying diets. The role also includes creating healthy gourmet beach picnics for guests and the Tiny Whale team.

The quality of our guests’ experience at Tiny Whale is largely dependent on the food we serve on a daily basis. As our Head Chef, you should be able to create new recipes, prepare all types of different food using different cooking styles and handle food presentations. Our Head Chef is also responsible (together with our Lodge Manager) for the menu selection, the efficiency of kitchen service and the overall dining experience. You’ll mostly work with one other assistant with one or two hosts as helpers.

This role would suit someone looking for a medium to long-term career opportunity in the Algarve.
