Do you want to put your mark on a popular café in the heart of the fjords? Laksen Bakery & Café, located inside the Wild Salmon Centre in Lærdal, opened in 2021 and has quickly grown from a seasonal café into a year-round success. Now we are looking for a Chef who can take the lead in the kitchen and help shape the future of Laksen.

At Laksen, we take pride in offering freshly baked goods and homemade food made from local, quality ingredients – combining authentic flavors from both Norway and abroad.
