Job description
Job Location: Avani Palm View Dubai Hotel & Suites
At Avani, we’re all about finding that perfect balance — between cool and kind, design and function, service and privacy. We’ve built our hotels and resorts around this philosophy: vibrant social spaces that vibe with the day, stylish rooms that simply work, and honest, locally inspired food. We embrace an upbeat service culture that genuinely respects the art of hospitality.
With a growing portfolio across Europe, the Middle East, Asia, Africa, and Australia, Avani is a brand on the move. If you take real pride in the little things — and believe that a warm welcome and a genuine smile make all the difference — you’ll fit right in here. At La Sirene, we believe the most memorable dining experiences begin long before the first dish reaches the table and stay with our guests long after the last conversation ends.
Nestled on one of Dubai's most beautiful terraces overlooking the iconic Burj Al Arab and Ain Dubai, La Sirene has become one of the city's favorite destinations for authentic Lebanese cuisine, generous hospitality, and unforgettable moments shared around the table. Our food is handcrafted every day, inspired by recipes passed down through generations just like home, only with one of Dubai's most spectacular views.
But what truly makes La Sirene special isn't our food. It's our people. We're looking for a passionate hospitality leader who believes that genuine warmth, attention to detail, and authentic human connection are what transform a meal into an experience guests can't wait to return to. If you love creating unforgettable moments, inspiring teams, and building restaurants that people talk about long after they leave, we'd love to meet you.
Your Mission As Restaurant Manager, you'll be the driving force behind one of Dubai's most exciting dining destinations. You'll lead every aspect of the restaurant from inspiring your team and delivering exceptional guest experiences to driving commercial success, operational excellence, and creating a culture where every guest feels genuinely welcomed.
