Emerald Hospitality Group is a collection of premium London restaurants — including Bottega35, Como Garden and Riviera — each an ode to the cuisine and culture of its inspiration. We're now looking for talented Senior Chefs de Partie to join two of our kitchens:
- Riviera (23 St James's Street) — a glamorous, seafood-led take on the Côte d'Azur, serving Southern French sharing plates from a busy open kitchen across 170+ covers.
