Chef de Partie – Continental Delicatessen, Newtown

Since opening in 2015, Continental Delicatessen has become a much-loved part of the Newtown community—welcoming locals, visitors, and regulars from all over with our signature hospitality and European bistro-style menu.

Located in the historic H. May Building, Continental is known for its thoughtfully curated tinned goods, cheeses and charcuterie, iconic cocktails (including the famed “Mar-Tinny”), and its warm, approachable atmosphere. Whether it’s a seat at the bar for a few Gildas or a long lunch upstairs, guests return time and again for an experience that’s both familiar and unique.

We’re now looking for a Chef de Partie to join our kitchen team.

About the Role: As Chef de Partie, you’ll play a key part in delivering a consistent, high-quality offering across lunch and dinner service. You’ll work closely with our Head Chef and wider team to prepare, cook, and present dishes that reflect Continental’s distinct style—seasonal, European-inspired, and proudly grounded in Australian hospitality.

What We’re Looking For:

Proven experience in a quality-driven kitchen environment

Excellent attention to detail and commitment to consistency

A strong work ethic and sense of pride in your station

Ability to work collaboratively in a small, close-knit team

A genuine interest in European food traditions, preserved goods, and quality produce

What We Offer:

A stable, full-time position in one of Newtown’s most respected venues

Opportunities for professional development within the Paisano & Daughters group, which includes Flora, Mister Grotto, and Osteria Mucca

A supportive, professional team culture with room to grow

If you’re a skilled chef with a calm and focused approach to service, and you’re looking for a role where you can take real pride in the food you create, we’d love to hear from you.
