Details
This is not a “just get through the season” kitchen.
We’re a small, oceanfront resort on Quadra Island where food is a central part of the guest experience, from relaxed breakfasts to elevated, multi-course wedding dinners. We’re looking for a chef who cares about what they put on the plate, works clean and organized, and wants to be part of a tight, respectful team for the season. It’s a balance of good food, good people, and a setting that reminds you why you got into hospitality in the first place. We work hard, but we keep it human.
If this sounds like your kind of season, send us a bit about yourself and your experience. Bonus points if you tell us what you like to cook when no one’s watching.
We’d love to connect.
