Chef de Partie (M/W) – Aurelia at Castle Hill

Residing inside the historic Agassiz Mansion at Castle Hill Inn, Aurelia at Castle Hill has been the backdrop of memorable occasions for more than a century and is lauded as one of the best restaurants in New England.

Under the direction of Chef de Cuisine Quentin Diez, the Forbes Five Star and Relais & Chateaux restaurant offers a six-course prix fixe menu with imaginative dishes utilizing the local bounty of produce, seafood, and artisanal producers. Aurelia’s dining rooms overlook Narragansett Bay in all its raw beauty. As the bay’s seascape and surrounding landscape change subtly with the seasons, so does Aurelia’s menu.

We are proud to be one of the 580 members of Relais & Châteaux, an association of worldwide independent hotel and restaurant owners. Aurelia and Castle Hill Inn are 100% employee-owned, and part of the Newport Restaurant Group.
