Chef Wanted for Lilac – Restaurant & Cocktail Bar at Papirøen, Copenhagen

Lilac is a restaurant and cocktail bar located at Papirøen in Copenhagen, offering a concept based on seasonal ingredients and a curated cocktail program using pre-batched cocktails. The restaurant consists a 52-pax main dining area where guests can have the full menu, and a 12 seat bar and 20 seat lounge; both of which will be drinks and snacks only. Opening hours are Sunday through Thursday from 17:00 to 24:00, and Friday through Saturday from 17:00 to 02:00. The restaurant will be holding a single seat brunch service from 10:00 to 13:00. The concept for Lilac began as a space where guests could curate their own experience. The food being offered will be a sharing concept drawing from cuisines from around the world with a focus on modern techniques. Our high-paced kitchen utilizes a Josper oven to highlight premium, seasonal ingredients through a globally inspired lens. Driven by passion and precision, we offer an ingredient-forward dining experience where dishes are defined by the unique character of charcoal. This along with a full batch cocktail program and a curated wine selection allows guests to visit the space with a variety of expectations; whether it is for an apéro, a full meal, only drinks, or even a late night gathering. We work uncompromisingly with a technique driven-focus and using the best ingredients – always using local suppliers when possible.
