Quince is a Three-star Michelin star restaurant that features California contemporary cuisine. The restaurant in 2020 was one of the first recipients in the Country to be awarded a Green Star from Michelin for its work with local farmers and suppliers with much of the produce coming directly from our own Farm located in nearby West Marin County. As such, the restaurant’s menus are fiercely seasonal, with the ingredients informing and inspiring all creations from the culinary team.
Quince, the three-Michelin-starred flagship restaurant of Quince & Co. Hospitality , is seeking an Executive Sous Chef to join our culinary leadership team.
Quince is grounded in a deep respect for seasonality, artisan producers, and the agricultural richness of Northern California. Working closely with Chef Michael Tusk and Chef de Cuisine, the Executive Sous Chef plays a critical leadership role in guiding daily kitchen operations, mentoring the culinary team, and upholding the precision and creativity that define the Quince dining experience.
This role is ideal for a disciplined and passionate leader who thrives in a collaborative, high-performance environment and is committed to excellence in craft, hospitality, and team development.
