Food and Beverage Manager; Hotel

Salary: $75k - $85k

Fouquet’s New York is hiring an experienced and passionate Restaurant Manager to join our team! We are seeking a professional hospitality leader to maintain our high standards of hospitality. When the quintessential Parisian brasserie arrived to conquer New York, renowned Michelin Star Chef Pierre Gagnaire curated a menu with a modern spin on traditional French cuisine and turning out some of the best dishes in the modern fusion cuisine movement.

Take a seat at any of his restaurants and you’ll see he’s not afraid to creatively blend new flavors and textures into traditional dishes, remaining faithful to the essential Frenchness of Fouquet’s Paris while conceptualizing and creating dishes that are creative, generous, and ingredient-focused. The result is a menu that reinterprets the flavors of escargots, beef tartare, even pommes frites through a gourmet lens.

And when it comes to sweet finishes, the famous Fouquet’s millefeuille is an experience unto itself!
