Sous Chef

Do you want to join the highly anticipated opening of Scotland’s first ever exclusive Le Petit Beefbar restaurant? We are looking for a Sous Chef to join on us on this adventure and experience the excitement that Edinburgh is about to embark on…

This highly exclusive restaurant born in Monte Carlo in 2005 is the epitome of creativity and luxury, by taking on international and local dishes with a focus on quality ingredients. Riccardo Giraudi (the Beefboy as some might call him) has created Beefbar to break tradition and introduce a modern take on incredibly well-thought out but simple dishes divided into 3 section – sexy street food, great meat cuts and iconic dishes. InterContinental Edinburgh The George is home to the first and only Beefbar in Scotland and we are proud to be presenting Edinburgh with this leading new concept opening in July 2023…
