Independent working cook EMA

Your workplace

The European Medicines Agency is an agency of the European Union in charge of the evaluation and supervision of pharmaceutical products. The building is located on the Zuidas in Amsterdam in the impressive Vivaldi building. It is an international workplace where English is the go-to language. It is a high-end location with a luxurious look and feel. There are 3 outlets in the building, including the restaurant, coffee bar, and the Sky lounge. The restaurant serves breakfast and a luxurious hot lunch for around 800 guests per day. We also take care of the banqueting, so it can be quite busy. The building at EMA is open 24/7 and the kitchen is open between 7 a.m. and 4 p.m. 

You will soon get to know the guests you receive every day. This allows you to respond to their (dietary) wishes and, together with the fantastic team, make everyone happy. EMA is easily accessible by car and public transport.

Every day, you challenge yourself to offer guests variety with creativity, attention to detail, and knowledge of different cuisines. You are constantly vigilant about the quality of the products leaving the kitchen. Want to grow in your role? Develop yourself with all the possible training and courses through our online academy.
