We are looking for a chef with a strong fine dining background to work with us in Lapland for the winter season 2026–2027. This is not a traditional seasonal chef role. The work comprises several premium-level catering concepts and offers opportunities to work in a restaurant, as well as with international luxury travel. Your duties will include working at: Restaurant Elsa, in an intimate fine dining restaurant in the Ylläs region; as a private chef for clients at their villas and cottages; villa catering events; premium catering for private jets; various private dinners and events. Who we are looking for? You should have strong prior experience in fine dining kitchens. We value independent work ethic, very high quality standards, and the ability to adapt to different work environments. Success requires understanding ingredients, techniques, plating, and an overall guest experience. You should be able to work both as part of a team and independently in a private client’s kitchen. We expect: strong fine dining experience; high professional pride and quality standards; good stress tolerance; systematic and clean work habit; flexibility and ability to operate in changing situations; good command of English; willingness to work with international clients. What we offer? An exceptional work environment in Lapland and the opportunity to contribute to high-quality restaurant, private dining, and luxury catering experiences. Schedules vary: one evening in a fine dining restaurant, another in a private villa dinner, and next you’ll prepare catering for international private jet clients. Employment: Full-time, fixed-term. Timeline: November 2026 – end of April 2027. Location: Ylläs region, Lapland. To apply, send your CV and a brief introduction including your previous fine dining experience.
