We are delighted and excited to end the year by sharing our news that our Executive Chef Damon McGinniss has been selected as one of five Ambassador Chefs by Beef + Lamb New Zealand.

For Damon this is the third time he’s been selected as Ambassador, the first whilst working with us here at Art Deco Masonic Hotel.

Ambassador Chef’s are selected for their passion and talent for cooking with New Zealand Beef and Lamb, driving innovation and creativity within the food service sector, and ultimately helping to shape our country’s food story.

Emporium Eatery & Bar for the sixth year in a row has also been awarded The 2018 Beef and Lamb Excellence Award.

For our hotel guests, guests at Emporium Eatery & Bar, Emporium - The Lounge, and The Rose Irish pub you can all be assured whether enjoying a fine dining experience for lunch of dinner, a casual breakfast, or snack, you will be in good hands.
