Cricca Restaurant is a small, intimate gem in the historic heritage town of Windsor, NSW. Recently awarded a prestigious Hat in the Good Food Guide 2025, we take pride in offering a dining experience that’s both personal and memorable. Our philosophy? We’re “Italian-ish.” While our roots are inspired by Italian cuisine, we love to push boundaries and get creative with our approach to flavor and presentation.
At Cricca, every detail matters — from the dishes we craft to the way we care for our guests. We’re looking for a passionate and skilled Chef de Partie to join our close-knit kitchen team and help us deliver culinary excellence.
About the Role
As Chef de Partie, you’ll take ownership of your section and play a vital role in our small but mighty team. This is an incredible opportunity for a driven and eager chef who’s ready to take the next step in their career, develop their skills, and contribute to a collaborative and innovative kitchen environment.
What You’ll Do
- Take full responsibility for your section, ensuring it runs efficiently and meets our high standards.
- Assist in menu development, bringing your creativity to our “Italian-ish” culinary style.
- Work with the freshest, seasonal ingredients to deliver beautifully plated, flavour-forward dishes.
- Maintain a clean, organised, and safe kitchen environment.
- Collaborate with the team to create a seamless and enjoyable dining experience for our guests.
- Bring passion, dedication, and a desire to learn and grow every day.
What We’re Looking For
- Proven experience as a Chef de Partie or in a similar role.
- A genuine passion for food, creativity, and hospitality.
- Ability to thrive in a small, dynamic kitchen team.
- Strong organisational skills and attention to detail.
- A positive, can-do attitude and eagerness to learn and improve.
- Knowledge of Italian or Mediterranean cuisine is a bonus but not essential.
What We Offer
- A chance to work in an award-winning, Hat-recognized restaurant.
- A supportive and inclusive team environment.
- Opportunities to grow, develop, and hone your skills under the guidance of experienced chefs.
- A focus on work-life balance and personal development.
- The opportunity to be part of a team that values creativity, passion, and innovation.
