Breakfast / Pastry Chef in Manchester

Manchester Full-Time No home office possible

MAYA MANCHESTER BREAKFAST / PASTRY CHEF

A STYLISH AND LIVELY COMBINATION OF RESTAURANT AND BAR ON THE CORNER OF CHORLTON STREET AND CANAL STREET.

Situated within an iconic location of Manchester’s nightlife history and split across three floors, Maya will house numerous areas, each with its own vibe, to take guests from day to night. From a canal-side bistro space serving modern-European classics to a lower ground-floor, elegantly designed dining room that will centre around an ingredient-led, locally sourced and seasonal menu.

Maya will take the ground and lower floors of 40 Chorlton Street and shares part of the same landmark early 20th-century warehouse building occupied by the new neighbourhood hotel, Leven. Maya\’s interior backdrop will merge the original industrial nature of the space with inspired details of art deco grandeur and disco-era pop-culture references in beautiful and surprising ways.
