Restaurant Manager - Kureta

Marriott
Auckland,NZ,1010 Full Time
Reference: 218_396456_26075682

Nestled within the City of Sail's central business district, Kureta reimagines the Teppanyaki experience through a modern, elemental lens. While it pays homage to the core techniques of flame and heat, it elevates the concept with locally sourced ingredients, refined presentation through an omakase-style menu, and a deep connection to nature and craft. It's a Teppan House - not just a grill - designed to offer a mindful and immersive journey.

Kureta is located within JW Marriott Auckland in 22-26 Albert Street.
