About Lisboeta:

Part of the MJMK group, Lisboeta, literally meaning ‘a person from Lisbon’, celebrates the lifestyle, tradition, and emotion of belonging. The restaurant is Chef Patron Nuno Mendes’ love letter to Lisbon, the city he grew up in and the place he calls home. We opened Lisboeta in the Spring of 2022 to critical acclaim and as the restaurant continues its success, we’re looking for a Head Chef to join the team, who will be responsible for managing all aspects of the kitchen operation whilst supervising and developing the team.

We’d love to hear from you if you’re an experienced Head Chef and you’re up for a new challenge! Bem-vindo à nossa casa; welcome to our home.
