Victoria, BC| Full-Time & Part-Time | Seasonal & Year-Round
At The Flying Otter Grill, we create memorable dining experiences from the ground up. Every dish starts from scratch, every service is a team effort, and on our busiest days, we serve over 1,500 guests.
From seafood paella loaded with six proteins and house-made pasta tossed to order, to salmon wellington wrapped in puff pastry and perfectly finished rib eyes, you'll be cooking food you're proud to serve. Every sauce, stock, and protein is prepared in-house.
If you thrive in a fast-paced kitchen, love the energy of high-volume service, and want to sharpen your craft alongside a great team, you'll feel right at home.
