Full job description

Versatile Chef – All Sections | The Restaurant Pendolino, Sydney

Casual Chef Position

Are you a skilled chef who thrives across the kitchen — equally comfortable piping pastry as you are breaking down proteins in the larder? We want to hear from you.

The Restaurant Pendolino, nestled within Sydney's historic Strand Arcade, is seeking an experienced, adaptable chef to join our kitchen brigade on a casual basis. Celebrated for its regionally inspired Italian cuisine, house-made pasta, and some of Australia's finest extra-virgin olive oils and artisanal produce, Pendolino is a landmark of refined dining in the heart of the city.

The Role

This is not a single-section position. We're looking for a well-rounded culinary professional who can move confidently across all areas of the kitchen — from larder and grill through to pastry — and deliver consistent, high-quality results wherever the brigade needs you. Shifts are available Monday through Saturday (we are closed Sundays and public holidays).

What We're Looking For

  • Minimum 2 years' experience in a high-quality restaurant environment
  • Demonstrated ability to work across multiple sections with confidence
  • A genuine passion for the craft and a high standard of execution
  • Knowledge of or strong interest in Italian cuisine is highly regarded
  • Sound understanding of food safety, OH&S, and recipe adherence
  • A collaborative, team-first attitude with the ability to take direction well

What's In It For You

We consider our team our greatest asset. In return for your skills and flexibility, you'll enjoy ongoing training, genuine career development pathways, and the exclusive perks that come with being part of the Pendolino hospitality family — all within one of Sydney's most respected and enduring dining institutions.

How to Apply

Submit your CV and relevant references via the online application. Please note that only shortlisted candidates will be contacted.
