kingi

A bit about us...

kingi is an Auckland restaurant open day and night, housed on the ground floor of the heritage Masonic House, within The Hotel Britomart. Our focus is on making great food with a lean towards sustainable seafood that feels distinctly ‘of its place’, here in New Zealand.

We believe in vegetables just out of the garden, fruit right off the branch, and kaimoana straight from the sea. In our cooking we strive for delicious flavour and harmony with the environment.

kingi is growing and we’re looking for a vibrant, talented hospitality professional to work with us as part of our culinary team.

We are looking for a full time (30-40 hours) Senior Chef de Partie to help the kitchen team deliver an incredible food experience to guests of both The Libraries and kingi restaurant.
