What about Hush ?
It opened in 1999, with the intention of becoming sort of a hidden oasis
in the middle of such a busy neighborhood, since it is located in a very small
alley, concealed from the crowd’s eyes. It is divided in 5 distinct areas that
all have specific purposes : the brasserie, downstairs, which mainly offers
european food; the courtyard, where movies are shown during the winter
(« Love Actually » being the most popular one among the customers);
the Silver Room, that offers a slightly more intimate and elegant dining
experience than the brasserie; the Cocktail Lounge, and finally, the Private
Dining Room.
What do you like most about this job ?
What do you like most about this job ?
I particularly enjoy the fact that it keeps me busy all day long. It’s a
non stop thing you know, I never get bored. It also requires quite a bit of
creativity, which is always a nice thing. I love the networking part of the job
too, weather it concerns customers or other people of the industry, as well as
managing and fixing potential problems. I genuinely love this job, each day is
completely different from the previous one. I also meet a lot of amazing
people, that sometimes become friends for life !
Your
« mantra » ?
Never stop learning. There’s never a moment when you can allow yourself
to consider you know enough. Don’t limit your knowledge, you can always learn
more. There’s always room for improvement, right?
Well first, FAIR. Vodka is essentially made out of quinoa that is
cultivated in South America, which is where I come from, and the company being
fair trade certified means that it tries to help the people over there, which
is obviously something that touches me greatly, and that I support fiercely. I
also like the fact that they are pioneers of the system of fair trade, I mean
they were among the first companies to put such a selling point forward. They
don’t just follow the current trend. And of course we love Paul, the face of
the company. He’s always there, he’s very supportive, comes here often to see
how things are going, provides a solid follow up, and he’s just exceptionally
nice. He’s the one that makes the company stand out.
