Cafe Linea is a vibrant new hospitality concept located in one of London’s most iconic and picturesque destinations. More than just a café, Linea is a refined neighbourhood restaurant, bar, and bakery with a deep-rooted focus on quality, creativity, and heartfelt hospitality.
It’s a place where guests can enjoy an elegant breakfast, relax over an afternoon glass of wine, or gather with friends in the evening. Guided by a philosophy of “less is more”, we focus on seasonal ingredients, considered details, and meaningful interactions — making every moment matter.
We’re now seeking a passionate and ambitious Assistant Restaurant Manager to help lead our opening team and shape the guest experience from day one. This is an exciting opportunity for someone who thrives in a start-up culture, is eager to grow, and wants to leave a lasting mark on a new London destination.
