Job Description
Top City centre restaurant looking for experienced Chef de Partie.
We are looking for a determined hard working individual, who is passionate about food, to join our crew. You will work and train under our Head Chef, Maggie Roche. We promise you a creative and challenging environment where you will learn and develop your culinary skills. You will work with quality produce and also have an imput into menu ideas.
We are dedicated to fresh and innovative dishes. We really are passionate about quality. All our fish, meats and vegetables are delivered daily from equally passionate and artisan producers.
In the words of our most recent reviewers, John & Sally McKenna:
In the kitchen, Ms Roche shows that she shares (owner) Ms Murphy’s pernickety devotion to detail. You can see that in one detail in particular: the jus that animates several of her dishes. Start with scallops with braised chicken wings, and it’s that chicken jus pooled around the plate that fires up this lovely dish.
The same sweet, sticky, comforting note is struck with her dish of stuffed saddle of rabbit with tarragon, kidney and liver. In and around the wild mushrooms and peas and pea shoots is another animating jus, perfectly complementing the precisely rendered rabbit. This is complex cooking – the amount of graft in a dish like this, or in the vegetable pithivier, is formidable – and yet what strikes you about the dish is its comforting sweetness, and how joyful it is to eat.
Ms Roche cooks the right food for the right room. Hugo’s is an homage to the classical idea of a restaurant, and Ms Roche’s food, with its beignets, its Café de Paris butter, its Tournedos Rossini, is an homage to the classical school of European food.
But her brilliance lies in the fact that every dish feels modern, contemporary and Irish, despite the deep historical background. She’s learnt the rule book, but then she’s torn it up, and made the dishes her way. She is cooking marvellous, comforting food in a marvellous, comforting city restaurant.
