We are currently looking for an enthusiastic and eager-to-learn Commis Chef to join the kitchen team at Le Café LPM. Part of the La Petite Maison family, Le Café is an exciting all-day dining concept in Dubai — a great place to build your culinary career surrounded by talented chefs and a genuine culture of quality.
We value a positive attitude, curiosity, and a real passion for food above all else.

You assist with mise en place, ingredient preparation, and basic cooking tasks as directed by senior chefs. You support the team in assembling and plating dishes to established standards, ensuring all items are prepared consistently and on time.
Organisation & Hygiene
You maintain a clean, organised, and safe workstation throughout service and adhere to all food hygiene, safety, and sanitation procedures. You participate in stock rotation and storage management to ensure freshness and reduce waste.
Teamwork & Development
You work collaboratively across all kitchen sections, actively seek feedback and guidance from senior chefs, and contribute to a positive, respectful kitchen culture. You take pride in delivering quality and see every shift as an opportunity to grow.

La Petite Maison is the home French Riviera-inspired cuisine with locations in London, Dubai, Miami, Abu Dhabi, Hong Kong, Riyadh, Limassol, Doha, Las Vegas and Mykonos.
LPM is first and foremost food-driven, and ingredient-led with fresh and light French Riviera-inspired cuisine. LPM’s simplicity is found in fresh Mediterranean produce, with dishes using artichokes, courgettes, lemons, olives, and tomatoes, alongside the freshest seafood, meat, and pasta.
The menu, designed for sharing amongst the table, is complemented by a substantial French wine list that includes an extensive selection from Provence.
LPM’s authentic cuisine perfectly blends with the ambience of each of its locations, which are renowned for a pared back environment reminiscent of the Côte d’Azur, framed in a light colour palette with accents of fine linens and marble. At all the restaurants, the gorgeous interiors feature the same touches with eclectic art and occasional "Belle Époque" accessories.
