Job Description

Fine Dining

  • High Volume
  • Greek & Mediterranean Cuisine
  • Leadership-Driven Culture

Avra Estiatorio, an iconic Greek & Mediterranean restaurant group known for its incredible fresh fish market, seasonal produce, and warm, professional service, is expanding to Boston in Spring 2026. We are seeking passionate, hands-on culinary leaders to join our opening team as Executive Chef.

The Executive Chef will be responsible for menu development, kitchen leadership, food quality, and cost control, while ensuring an exceptional dining experience. Fine dining restaurant experience is a MUST for this role.

Duties and Responsibilities (not all-inclusive) :

  • Oversee all kitchen operations, ensuring consistency, quality, and execution of dishes at the highest level.
  • Lead, train, and manage the culinary team to maintain discipline, morale, and professionalism.
  • Develop and maintain seasonal, innovative, and cost-effective menus aligned with the restaurant’s concept.
  • Monitor food costs, inventory, and waste to ensure profitability and sustainability.
  • Ensure compliance with health, sanitation, and safety regulations at all times.
  • Work closely with front-of-house, beverage, and events teams to create harmonious pairings and experiences.
  • Oversee vendor relationships, sourcing the highest quality ingredients and negotiating pricing when necessary.
  • Continuously evaluate kitchen operations and workflow for efficiency and improvement.
  • Maintain a strong presence on the line during service and act as a role model for culinary excellence.
  • Qualifications :

  • Minimum of 7 years of culinary leadership experience, with at least 3 years as an Executive Chef in a fine dining setting.
  • Deep understanding of modern and classic culinary techniques, ingredient sourcing, and plating aesthetics.
  • Strong leadership and communication skills with a hands-on, team-oriented management style.
  • Proven track record of developing high-performing kitchen teams.
  • Excellent time management, organization, and problem-solving abilities.
  • Ability to perform under pressure in a fast-paced, detail-driven environment.
  • ServSafe certification or equivalent required.
  • Culinary degree preferred but not required with relevant experience.
  • Benefits :

  • Competitive salary based on experience.
  • Paid vacation and sick days.
  • Health, dental, and vision insurance.
  • Opportunities for career advancement and leadership roles.
  • What We’re Looking For

  • Proven experience in fine dining and high-volume kitchens
  • A leader who cultivates strong, positive teams and leads by example
  • A chef who thrives in a fast-paced, service-driven environment
  • This is a true kitchen-floor leadership role, not an office job — candidates must be skilled expeditors who stay present on the line and in service.
  • A commitment to food excellence, consistency, and hospitality
  • About Avra

    Avra is an established, respected brand with decades-long following in New York, Beverly Hills, Miami, and Dallas. We are known for our :

  • Gracious hospitality
  • Exceptional workplace culture
  • Long-standing commitment to employee well-being
  • Competitive compensation and benefits
  • Strong internal growth and development programs
  • The Opportunity

    Be part of a flagship opening and help build a world-class restaurant from the ground up. This is an extraordinary opportunity for chefs who want to inspire, mentor, and grow with a company that values its people.

    The pay range listed is the reasonable and good-faith estimate of the compensation for this position at the time of posting, as required under Massachusetts pay transparency laws. Actual compensation may vary based on factors such as experience, performance, and business needs.
