Jobs

An exceptional kitchen deserves exceptional service.

At the top of Mount Kemmel, we are building a destination where people come not only to dine or stay, but also to return. For the view, for the cuisine, for the atmosphere — and above all, for the way they are welcomed.

Chef Maikel Rogie and his kitchen team work every day to create dishes that bring together quality, creativity and flavour. Their ambition is clear: to keep improving and continue raising the bar. To bring this culinary ambition fully to life, we are looking for an experienced Maître d’Hôtel who can elevate the front-of-house experience to the same level.

Not through distant formality, but through genuine attention, natural elegance and service tailored to each individual guest.

Your role

As Maître d’Hôtel, you will be the face of Hostellerie Kemmelberg and the essential link between our guests, the front-of-house team and the kitchen.

You welcome guests in a way that immediately puts them at ease. You notice what others might overlook, remember individual preferences and instinctively understand when a guest expects attention — or would rather enjoy some privacy. You recognise returning guests. You know which table they prefer, which wine they enjoyed during an earlier visit and where they like to have their aperitif.

At the same time, you provide direction to the front-of-house team. You bring structure and calm to every service, share your experience and help your colleagues develop. Together with chef Maikel Rogie, you ensure that the kitchen and front of house tell one coherent story.

You are present without ever being intrusive. Professional when the occasion requires it, relaxed when the moment allows it and always genuinely hospitable.

What will you do?

• Welcome and guide our guests in a warm and personal manner.
• Oversee the flow, pace and quality of every service.
• Lead and coach the front-of-house team while fostering strong collaboration.
• Coordinate with the chef daily and ensure seamless communication between the kitchen and front of house.
• Advise guests with confidence and expertise on dishes, wines and suitable pairings.
• Help build a service culture in which attentiveness, discretion and hospitality come naturally.
• Get to know returning guests and their preferences, making sure they feel genuinely recognised.
• Contribute actively to the continued development of the restaurant and hotel experience.

Who are we looking for?

We are looking for an experienced hospitality professional with maturity, emotional intelligence and a natural presence.

You understand that outstanding service means something different to every guest. You can offer a formal and refined welcome while remaining warm and spontaneous. You read the atmosphere at a table, communicate with ease and maintain calm and perspective, even during the busiest services.

You have experience as a Maître d’Hôtel, restaurant manager or in a comparable leadership role within a gastronomic restaurant or high-end hospitality environment. You have a strong knowledge of wine and food pairing and can share that expertise in a natural and approachable way.

You enjoy leading a team but are equally comfortable working alongside your colleagues and engaging directly with guests. You are fluent in Dutch and French; a good command of English is an important asset.

Qualifications and titles matter less to us than experience, presence and the ability to make outstanding service feel effortless.

What do we offer?

• A key position within an ambitious and renowned hostellerie.
• The opportunity to help shape the service standards and future of Hostellerie Kemmelberg.
• Close collaboration with chef Maikel Rogie and a kitchen team focused on quality, creativity and flavour.
• A committed front-of-house team ready to grow together.
• A unique workplace at the top of Mount Kemmel, with panoramic views across the Heuvelland and French Flanders.
• A salary above the usual hospitality industry standard, reflecting your experience and responsibilities.
• Additional benefits, including a company car.
• Fixed days off and clearly defined working arrangements.
• Lunch and dinner prepared by the kitchen during service.
• The freedom to take initiative and leave your mark on the guest experience.

Interested?

Perhaps you recognise yourself in this role. Or perhaps you know someone whose guests still say years later: “They knew exactly how to make us feel welcome.”

Send your CV or a brief introduction to info@kemmelberg.be. A traditional cover letter is not essential. We would much rather hear, in your own words, what hospitality means to you and what you would like to bring to Hostellerie Kemmelberg.

Discretion is assured.
