I'm looking to move back to Edinburgh after a long long absence and need to find myself a job in a kitchen. I've been a chef for 5 years working at a highlevel , well skilled in all areas, but am getting a bit frustrated with the horrendous pay offered in most fine dining kitchens.
I'm just looking for anyone on here who is/has been a chef in edinburgh long enough to know "those" certain kitchens where the hard working chef gets a fair deal.
For example, i know a couple kitchens in Glasgow (where i am now) where the chefs get a very good hourly rate and a fair whack of tips and end up getting paid very handsomely for their 80 hour week as opposed to the "don't even make mimimum wage on this salary" of most places.
So come on my culinary comrades if any of you know of such a fabled place in Edinburgh i'd really appreciate a nod in the right direction.
