WHO WE ARE:

Coq D’Argent is an oasis of tranquillity high above the heart of The City, with sun trap terraces in the summer and snow globes in the winter. The award-winning cuisine is just as impressive as those views and the classic French menu is overseen by Executive Head Chef – Damien Rigollet who has been with us since 2005. This destination restaurant is extremely popular with city workers, for long weekend lunches and foodies alike.
At D&D London we are passionate about all things food and drink. We strive to deliver quality in everything we do, each time we do it. With over 30 diverse venues across 6 cities including London, New York and Paris - there is a restaurant for every occasion. Each of our sites pride themselves on the unique designs, the freshest produce and the most exclusive settings. Founded in 2006 by David Loewi, the mission has always been the same, to provide each and every guest with a luxury experience when stepping foot into our restaurants, bars and hotel. Through the years we have paved the way in the luxury dining scene, acquiring some of the most iconic venues in London and beyond, venues such as Bluebird Chelsea, 100 Wardour St, Quaglino’s, 20 Stories, Orelle and South Place Hotel.

As the Sous Chef, you’ll play a pivotal role in leading our kitchen team to culinary excellence. Your responsibilities will include supervising and coaching kitchen staff on cooking techniques, food presentation, and safety protocols. During busy service periods, you’ll command the pass while providing support to chefs on various kitchen sections, ensuring efficient food preparation and timely service. In the absence of the Head Chef, you’ll seamlessly oversee kitchen operations, maintaining quality and consistency throughout. Monitoring inventory levels and optimizing cost control through ADACO-assisted stock ordering will be part of your routine, minimizing waste and maximizing efficiency. Upholding impeccable standards of cleanliness and organization in accordance with health and safety regulations is paramount.
Moreover, you’ll collaborate closely with the front-of-house team to address customer feedback and ensure a memorable dining experience for our guests. If you’re ready to bring your culinary expertise and leadership to our team, we encourage you to apply for the Sous Chef role at Coq D’argent today.
