New Orleans Inspired Restaurant in Midtown Center Seeking an Assistant Pastry Chef.
Longshot Hospitality is now hiring an Assistant Pastry Chef at Dauphine’s, located in Midtown Center Washington, DC. We have built a beautiful bread and pastry program, under the leadership of Pastry Chef, Joy Razo. If you are committed to leading and working alongside a team in the pursuit of achieving restaurant excellence, we would love to meet you.
Dauphine’s is a New Orleans inspired restaurant seen through the lens of Mid Atlantic Products. Opened in the Spring of 2021, Dauphine’s offers seating for guests at both inside and outside dining rooms. The spacious multi-level interior features both a raw bar and a boucherie (our Louisiana inspired take on our house charcuterie program) under a fanciful wrought-iron pavilion, which also houses an elegant cocktail bar. Second floor seating above the mezzanine provides a dramatic view of the dining room below; for fresh-air cocktails, an outdoor bar serves the patio lounge and dining area.
Dauphine’s is a concept from Long Shot Hospitality, the team behind Washington, D.C.’s beloved restaurant, The Salt Line. Led by critically acclaimed Chef Kristen Essig, Dauphine’s is inspired by the playful spirit and iconic cuisine of New Orleans.
The menu at Dauphine’s will pay homage to the diverse cultural influences and rich culinary traditions of New Orleans, a city Chef Essig called home for over two decades. Dauphine's menu utilizes Mid-Atlantic ingredients to prepare classic Louisiana dishes like Seafood Gumbo, Blackened Blue Fish Creole, and Swordfish Amandine. An extensive raw bar and boucherie program, complete with seafood towers and house-made charcuterie will round out the menu.
