Chef

We are looking for a chef with a strong fine dining background to work with us in Lapland during the winter season 2026–2027.

This is not a traditional seasonal chef job. The work consists of several different premium-level entities and offers the opportunity to work both in a restaurant and within international luxury travel.

Your work will include working in:

• Ravintola Elsa, an intimate fine dining restaurant in the Ylläs area
• as a private chef at clients' villas and cottages

• villa catering events
• premium catering for private jets

• various private dinners and events

Who are we looking for?

You must have strong previous experience in a fine dining kitchen. We particularly value an independent work ethic, extremely high quality standards, and the ability to adapt to different working environments.

Success in the role requires that you understand ingredients, technique, presentation, and the holistic guest experience. You are able to work both as part of a team and independently in a private client's kitchen.

We expect from you:

• strong fine dining experience
• high professional pride and quality standards

• good ability to work under pressure
• a systematic and tidy way of working

• flexibility and the ability to act in changing situations
• good English language skills

• readiness to work with international clients

What do we offer?

We offer an exceptional working environment in Lapland and the opportunity to be involved in building high-end restaurant, private dining, and luxury catering experiences.

Workdays are not all the same: one evening you work in a fine dining restaurant, another at a private dinner in a villa, and the next you prepare catering for an international private jet client.

Employment type: full-time, fixed-term Time period: November 2026 – end of April 2027 Location: Ylläs area / Lapland

Apply by sending your CV as well as a short introduction of yourself and your previous fine dining experience.
