Chef de Partie (Full-Time)$73,500 to $77,500 p.a, exclusive of superannuation
We’ve been successfully operating Avenue Road Café for over 10 years, located in the main shopping district of Mosman Village. We’re very well known in the community for our seasonal, fresh and diverse meals, and proud to consistently source ingredients from our local producers.
This success saw us branch out and open another venue, Bar Infinita, last year – a modern Italian restaurant and wine bar, located in Gordon NSW. Armed with a woodfired pizza oven and our head chef, Francesco Lervolino from Naples (who has worked at some of Sydney’s finest Italian restaurants including Ormeggio and Firedoor), we’ve already become one of the North Shore’s new neighbourhood favourites, also recognized by popular media channels such as GoodFood, TimeOut, Urban List and Vogue.
In light of the growth we have had, we extended our opening hours in the last month, due to popular demand. Bar Infinita is now open six nights a week, plus Saturday lunch from 12 to 2:30PM. We plan to increase our lunch offerings from Friday through to Sunday soon as well.
