EVA!
The sad moment we all knew was coming…
Last Saturday we said goodbye to our dearest Eva. A special moment for our most special team member (so far). Eva joined Merijn and Figo in December 2013 straight away with the first pop-up Repéré, stayed with us during Foyer in Felix Meritis and helped us start up Choux from the very beginning.
Eva became the general manager quickly and developed her own style of hospitality, which, to this day, still is the benchmark for our fantastic front-of-house team. Her outspoken style of service can be described best as a combination of warmth, humor, sincerity, and, above all, a very personal touch. In essence, the style of service we want to deliver to our guests, day after day. We can’t imagine a Choux without a smiling Eva as our welcoming host, but unfortunately all good things come to an end.
For Eva, a new horizon opened up, an opportunity she couldn’t resist. Together with Figo and their son Tos, she’ll be moving to in Kollum. They’ll move into an ancient farmhouse with a small campsite, an old orchard and an amazing garden. It’s the place where they got married back in 2023.
Eva, there are no words to share our gratitude. Choux would have never been the same without your influence and we’re going to miss you dearly. All the best with the bright future lying ahead of you; your light will shine bright anyhow!
