Head Chef (New opening)

Nestled in the heart of Capel Street, our restaurant is an all-day hangout for locals, travellers and anyone who fancies staying a little longer than planned. Start with a coffee at the hatch, come back for lunch, and somehow end up at the bar in the evening. It is a space that moves with the day and comes alive through events and moments that bring people together, whether you arrive alone or leave with new friends.

The food is simple, seasonal and full of character, with a playful wink to Irish classics and a modern twist. Beyond the restaurant (42 covers) and bar (10 seats), there are two 8-person meeting rooms and a 12-person private dining room, making it just as good for getting things done as it is for celebrating them. Rooted in the neighbourhood and open to the wider Dublin community, it is a place to eat, meet, linger and return to again and again.

As Head Chef, you are the culinary leader of the brasserie, responsible for setting the tone, the standards and the culture within the kitchen from pre-opening through to full operation.

You will build your team from the ground up, develop menus that reflect both the concept and the Dublin market, and ensure consistent excellence across breakfast, lunch, dinner and the coffee hatch offering.

This role requires creativity balanced with structure: strong operational discipline, commercial awareness and the ability to lead a high-performing team in a quality-driven, high-volume environment.

This is an exciting opportunity to shape the culinary identity of a brand-new opening. The chosen candidate will have the freedom to create “damn good food!” together with a passionate team, and execute the best versions of The July classic dishes.

You will report to the General Manager of The July Dublin Capel street.
