Senior Sous Chef

Studio East Asian Gastropub | Halifax, Nova Scotia

Studio East Asian Gastropub consistently ranks in the Top 10 Restaurants in Halifax, regularly sitting at #5 or higher, and holding the #1 spot for many months at a time. We’ve built a powerful following, an energetic 80-seat dining room, and a reputation for delivering something special.

Now we’re ready for the next chapter.

We’re looking for a senior sous chef who wants to help take Studio East from a Halifax standout to a national culinary destination — the restaurant people across Canada talk about when planning a visit to the East Coast.

And we intend to do it together.

Who This Role Is Really For

Maybe you’ve been a Sous Chef for years and never been handed the keys.Maybe you’re leading a kitchen now, but creatively boxed in.Maybe you know you’re capable of more — you just haven’t had the platform.

This is that platform.

We’re looking for a highly skilled, hands-on Senior Sous Chef with strong experience in Asian fusion cuisine who can:

Assist in developing innovative tasting menus
Assist in creating exciting seasonal features and specials
Assist in elevating an already popular core menu
Lead from the line during high-volume services
Assist in managing food and labour costs responsibly
Mentor and grow a young, ambitious team

This is not a Monday-to-Friday administrative position.

This is a senior sous chef who thrives in service, commands respect through skill, and builds a kitchen culture that runs like a machine — without ego, without shouting, and without drama.

The Creative Opportunity

Beyond the main dining room, you’ll also assist in curating and leading our hidden underground speakeasy-style Chef’s Table — an intimate basement dining experience designed for bold tasting menus and immersive culinary storytelling.

This is where you get to push boundaries.This is where your reputation grows.

You won’t be hidden behind a brand.You’ll be building one — yours.

What We Value

We don’t need a hot head.We don’t need ego.

We need:

Dedication
Professionalism
Passion
Mentorship
Leadership by example

If you take care of the team, the team takes care of the guests.If the restaurant wins, you win.

The Bigger Vision

Studio East already has a strong foundation and a loyal following.

Now we want to take it national — through elevated events, stronger brand presence, and a senior sous chef who wants to join our team and be part of the creative force behind that growth.

We’re moving quickly and would ideally have our new Chef in place soon to participate in our busy summer and fall event season, helping shape the momentum for what’s next.

If you’ve been waiting for your moment — this is it.

Compensation

Let’s talk opportunity.

Base Salary: $55,000 - $65,000
Gratuity Split: Historically bringing total earnings to $90,000+
Profit Sharing + Private Underground Event Gratuities:If we perform at a high level, you share in that success.

We also offer:

Employee medical and dental program
Relocation allowance as necessary

We Are Searching Across Canada

We are actively recruiting from major culinary markets across Canada, including:

Montreal, Quebec City, Ottawa, the GTA and Southern Ontario, Winnipeg, Regina, Edmonton, Calgary, Vancouver and the surrounding region, Kelowna, and Victoria.

Applicants must be legally eligible to work in Canada (Permanent Residency or Citizenship). We are unable to sponsor immigration.

The Process

This will be a serious and thorough interview process.

If you apply, we expect:

A thoughtful cover letter
Clear reasons why Studio East
Evidence you’ve researched us
A long-term mindset
An excellent background in Asian Cooking experience and techniques
Solid references

We’re not looking for someone passing through.We’re looking for someone ready to plant their flag.

Final Word

If you want safe — this isn’t it.

If you want to prove you’re ready to join a top Halifax restaurant into national recognition, build your reputation, and create something that lasts — we should talk.

While we would like to fill the position as soon as possible, we also want to take the time and select the right candidate, therefore we will spend the next couple weeks reviewing applications and respond to qualified candidate to start setting up interviews right away

Studio East is ready to level up.

Pay: $55,000.00-$65,000.00 per year

Benefits:

Dental care
Discounted or free food
Extended health care
Paid time off
Vision care

Work Location: In person
