About Kvitabui Matnaust & Galleri

Kvitabui is a small, personal dining experience set in a traditional rustic boathouse right by the fjord in Solvorn. Our concept is built around local ingredients from the fjord and surrounding mountains, serving simple but carefully crafted dishes—often centred around venison and seafood. Much of the produce is harvested locally by the owner, who is both a fisherman and a hunter. In the same building, we also have a small photography gallery.

Our season is short, intense, and rewarding. With limited capacity (around 30 guests per seating) and a small, unconventional kitchen, teamwork, pace, and good routines are essential.

Role 1: Chef (2 positions)

Typical tasks

• Daytime prep

• Lead responsibility during afternoon/evening service

• Is structured, tidy, and confident with food safety and daily routines on a small kitchen.

• Enjoys working with seasonal, local ingredients.

• Experiance with seafood is preferred.

• Has creative input—while adapting to our concept and the kitchen setup
