Stephane Damezin at the Helm of Hadrian's
Stephane, at just 34 years of age, brings a wealth of knowledge and front of house experience to The Balmoral. Prior to joining Hadrian's, he worked with Gordon Ramsay as Manager of his Michelin-starred Amaryllis restaurant in Glasgow. Originally from France, Stephane trained at the Lycée Hotelier in Nice, where he progressed to working in dining outlets within luxury hotels in Monaco and the Côte d'Azur. He has been in Scotland for the past six years and has worked in well-known establishments including Cameron House Hotel and Turnberry Hotel.
Stephane commented, 'My aim is to ensure Hadrian's is the number one choice for stylish dining in Edinburgh. We have a very talented team of chefs, overseen by Executive Chef Jeff Bland, which is complemented by our professional waiting staff, who are dedicated to providing the best service for our guests.'
Hadrian's is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner seven days a week and attracts a high volume of guests. A key focus is to create Hadrian's as an 'events hub'; it has already gained much exposure through the bimonthly fashion and beauty 'Ladies Who Lunch' event, held in association with John Lewis.
Hadrian's features seasonal promotions and is currently running its 'Spring Special' menu, comprising asparagus as the key ingredient with specially selected wines. In addition, Hadrian's has just reintroduced its famous Jazz Buffet, which takes place every Sunday between 12:30 pm and 3:00 pm.
Commenting on this appointment, Debbie Taylor, General Manager at The Balmoral, said, 'I am delighted to welcome Stephane to our Food and Beverage team at The Balmoral. I am very proud of Hadrian's, and I am confident Stephane will further enhance our success and secure Hadrian's position as Edinburgh's leading Brasserie.'
