Who is Restaurant Amusé?

Restaurant Amusé is the product of husband and wife team, Carolynne and Hadleigh Troy.

Before Restaurant Amusé…

After completing his apprenticeship Hadleigh went on to work at The Loose Box and Jackson’s Restaurant. The couple then moved to Melbourne where Hadleigh worked at Langton’s Restaurant and together they went on to help open the The Brasserie by Philippe Mouchel under legendary Bocuse chef Philippe Mouchel.

Heading to London Hadleigh stepped into the role of Sous Chef at the iconic Michelin starred restaurant, The Greenhouse in Mayfair.

Whilst at The Greenhouse Hadleigh was flown to Singapore to cook at the World Gourmet Summit and spent a fortnight based at the Grand Hyatt cooking alongside some of the world’s most acclaimed chefs.

Hadleigh moved on from this role to open La Noisette in Knightsbridge under Ducasse trained chef Bjorn Van der Horst on behalf of Gordon Ramsay Holdings. The restaurant received a Michelin Star within four months.
