Step into a leading role at one of Sydney’s most celebrated dining institutions. The Apollo is more than a restaurant—it’s a neighbourhood icon that reimagines Greek food through a contemporary, international lens. We’re now looking for a dynamic, experienced Head Chef to lead our kitchen and continue delivering the food, energy and connection that define our brand.

About The Apollo

Born in Potts Point and inspired by both the streets of Athens and the pulse of NYC, The Apollo blends timeless Greek flavours with modern creativity. Our venue is a warm, refined space that invites everyday celebration, shared tables, and sophisticated hospitality.

The Role

As Head Chef, you’ll take full ownership of kitchen leadership—from developing and executing our menu vision, to building a high-performance team culture. You’ll play a critical role in ensuring our food remains consistently excellent, innovative, and true to the spirit of The Apollo.


What You’ll Do

• Lead, mentor, and inspire the kitchen team in a positive, collaborative environment.
• Drive creative menu development while maintaining brand consistency and profitability.
• Maintain exceptional quality and service standards across all kitchen operations.
• Oversee financial performance including food costs, rostering, and supplier management.
• Ensure compliance with food safety and OH&S requirements.
• Collaborate closely with FOH, marketing, and operations to deliver cohesive guest experiences.
• Engage in ongoing team training, feedback, and development to build a thriving kitchen culture.

What You’ll Bring

• Proven experience as a Head Chef or Senior Sous in a fast-paced, premium restaurant.
• A deep understanding of Mediterranean or modern Greek cuisine (a plus, not essential).
• Strong leadership, communication and team development skills.
• Exceptional standards in food quality, consistency and presentation.
• Commercial acumen with an eye for cost control, efficiency and innovation.
• A love of service, food, and the energy of a busy, buzzing kitchen.

What You’ll Get

• The chance to lead one of Sydney’s most renowned kitchens.
• Creative freedom with a respected and evolving food brand.
• Support from an experienced, collaborative leadership team.
• Opportunities for career progression across The Apollo Restaurant Group.
• A positive, respectful workplace culture where your ideas matter.
