Maitre Restaurante Akelarre

High atop Mount Igeldo, overlooking the Cantabrian Sea, Restaurante Akelarre has represented gastronomic excellence since 1975 under the vision of chef Pedro Subijana. With three Michelin stars, it is much more than a restaurant: it is a team committed to innovation, detail, and the diner's experience.

We are looking for a maitre with a vocation for leadership to coordinate the diner's experience from the very first moment. What will your functions be? Supervise and manage the weekly reservation forecast. Verify the status of the menus and update the daily suggestions list. Check the status and setup of the dining room before each service. Prepare and lead the daily briefing between the kitchen and the dining room. Receive, accompany, and seat customers with warmth and professionalism. Handle telephone calls and emails related to reservations or incidents. Actively participate in lunch and dinner service, ensuring that everything flows with precision and harmony.

What do we expect from you? Consolidated experience as a Maître in gastronomic or haute cuisine restaurants. Natural leadership, excellent organizational skills, and the ability to coordinate teams. High proficiency in English (knowledge of other languages is a plus). Deep knowledge of dining room protocol, pairings, and demanding customer service. Ability to anticipate, resolve with judgment, and maintain calm under pressure.

Be part of one of the most recognized gastronomic groups in Spain. Continuous training and development opportunities. Meals during the working day. Good team environment, where collaboration and commitment are valued.
