Pastry Sous Chef

About Anyday

At Anyday, we create places that feel good to be in—spaces shaped by genuine hospitality, a deep love for food and a belief in the quiet power of connection. Our venues are guided by instinct, not formulas, offering warmth, character, and moments that linger long after the table’s been cleared.

Founded in 2014, Anyday’s current portfolio includes Agnes, Idle, Biànca, hôntô, LOS, sAme sAme, Golden Avenue, and the newly opened The French Exit - with plans for many more.

About Idle
