Line Cook

Ma·dé is looking for inspired line cooks who are looking to broaden their culinary horizons! Ma·dé is Chef Cedric Vongerichten and Ochi Latjuba’s ‘second-born’ project which opened in April this year. After the success of the Indonesian-French concept, Wayan, the couple turned their attentions to produce an intimate restaurant focused on seasonality, freshness, with a primary emphasis on seafood and vegetables. All this with a dining room and decor inspired by the beaches of Bali.

What we’re looking for:

Energetic, enthusiastic, and ambitious line cooks with a passion for food, and a desire to be a part of a team in our brand-new all-electric kitchen. Individuals must understand that attention to detail, strong habits and a sense of urgency are the most important qualities. Candidates are encouraged to have garde manger experience, with an interest in fish butchery and cookery. Most of all, we are looking for candidates with a willingness and desire to learn new techniques, play around with new flavors, and deliver best-in-class quality day in and day out.

We’re looking to build a diverse and energetic team to provide high quality food to our patrons. We are committed to providing a positive and safe environment, for candidates from all backgrounds.
