Head Chef at Palazzo Diner

Palazzo Diner is an Italian-American diner on Axeltorv, right in the middle of Copenhagen. Generous, unfussy cooking with pasta at the heart of it, a serious bar, and a dining room that stays busy late. We are aiming to be the best diner in town.

It is a high-volume kitchen with real character: Pasta Club, the Mangiare & Sips sharing menus, an outdoor bar through the summer, and a wine and cocktail list built to match the food.

Now we are looking for a Head Chef to take the kitchen forward: someone who can run a tight, high-volume operation without letting quality slip, and bring their own ideas to the plate. This is a role with real ownership: you lead the team, shape the menu alongside management, and set the standard for everything that leaves the pass.
