Job Description

This spring, Queen Street will welcome a new 80-seat restaurant, and with it, a touch of glamour.


Lottie's is opening on the first floor of Faradays, the new luxury department store at 131 Queen Street. It's the latest venture from Emett Group, the team behind much-loved Auckland restaurants Onslow and Gilt Brasserie, both located just around the corner.


Inspired by the great London department store dining rooms of the past, Lottie's is a contemporary take on a much-loved tradition. Expect an all day menu of timeless classics, pastries, afternoon tea, alongside classic cocktails and plenty of champagne.


Hiring now

  • Help shape menus, refine dishes and contribute ideas from day one
  • Collaborate with passionate, talented hospitality professionals
