Le Café LPM is a neighbourhood café for the modern city, where French Riviera spirit meets everyday urban life. All-day dining, done beautifully. Croissants made properly. Fish grilled simply. Spritzes that feel like a terrace in July. Nothing overcomplicated. Everything just right.
Dubai opens soon and other locations are already in development. We are looking for the chef who will lead the first kitchen and help build what comes next.
What this role is
You lead the daily kitchen operation for Le Café LPM. You own the team and the standards set by the Brand Executive Chef. You bring the culinary concept to life - consistent, precise, and always true to the brand.
What we are looking for
• French Mediterranean cuisine is your foundation: light, seasonal, ingredient-led.
• You lead, inspire, and develop a diverse kitchen brigade. You foster a collaborative culture where standards are held with confidence and junior chefs genuinely want to grow.
• You manage food cost, portion control, and waste with rigour. You keep profitability sharp without compromising quality.
• You oversee supplier relationships, purchasing, and stock levels to ensure the best ingredients are always available and nothing is wasted.
• You ensure the Quality and Hygiene standards.
• You speak French and/or and a European language is an asset.
Why join Le Café LPM
Real ownership of a culinary concept from day one. Visibility across a growing, internationally recognised group. The chance to build something with people who take the simple things seriously.
Competitive compensation. A package designed around a life that also exists outside the kitchen.

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.
