You support the Head Pastry Chef in running the pastry section - maintaining quality, developing the team, and stepping up to lead when needed. You own daily production from viennoiserie to plated desserts, keeping it consistent, cost-aware, and true to Le Café LPM standards.
· 5-7 years of pastry experience, with at least 2-3 years as a Sous Chef or senior pastry cook in a fine dining or upscale restaurant.
· Strong knowledge of viennoiserie, doughs, creams, chocolate, fillings, shelf life, storage, and allergen controls.
· English is a must. French or another European language, even better.
Pastry Techniques: Classic and contemporary pastry techniques are your foundation - executed with precision, care, and a refined eye for presentation.
Leadership: You motivate and develop the pastry team, maintain discipline during service, and lead the section confidently when the Head Pastry Chef is absent.
Production, Storage & Shelf Life: You plan daily production, monitor shelf life, maintain FIFO and labelling, and ensure freezing and defrosting procedures are followed without exception.
Hygiene & Quality: Every item meets the standard for taste, texture, and presentation. The section is clean, safe, and compliant.
Cost & Inventory: You monitor stock, manage portion control, and reduce waste. You keep quality high without losing sight of cost.
This is a guide, not a ceiling. As Le Café LPM grows, so might your role. Flexibility is part of our DNA: every team member may be asked to support another department when the business needs it. We trust you’ll bring the same care to everything you do.
Head Chef / Head Pastry Chef
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.
