Job description

Join Our Team at Bar Allora!

A collaboration between Accor and Maybe Group, Bar Allora is a modern Italian bar and restaurant in Sydney CBD, inspired by the fast paced rhythm of Milan.

The menu is designed for sharing, pace and consistency, working hand in hand with a strong drinks program.

As Head Chef , you are the leader in our world of culinary creations. Mentoring your team, overseeing food preparation, and thoughtfully curating enticing menus, all while maintaining a smoothly functioning and secure kitchen operation to guarantee an enjoyable dining experience for every guest.
