HEAD CHEF

We are looking for an experienced manager to one of Madklubben's most historic restaurants. Read more about the role below.

A restaurant in Carlsberg Byen that combines Danish history with an exceptional dining experience. The restaurant is located above the historic Jacobsen Brewery in a protected and beautiful space where you can see the copper brewing kettles still in use today. The interior features Danish design classics and pays great respect to the old rooms, filled with brewing history that you won’t find anywhere else in Denmark.

The restaurant is open for both lunch and dinner, as well as for larger events and special launches. Lunchtime focuses on classic Danish dishes and modern smørrebrød with a twist. In the evening, it’s Madklubben’s renowned global cuisine, drawing inspiration from anywhere and not confined to one particular style. The drinks menu naturally highlights a wide selection of beers, brewed exclusively for Madklubben by Carlsberg's brewmaster, Bjarke. The beer is brewed in the basement and pumped directly to the taps in the restaurant. Come and be part of Madklubben x Home of Carlsberg.

Success is running an evening with fantastic food, served on time in a good mood and with happy colleagues who feel motivated, inspired and recognized in your company.
