The history of the ARCOTEL Moser Verdino in three instalments

The following three blog entries will present the fascinating history of the ARCOTEL Moser Verdino Klagenfurt, which is steeped in the historical developments of the city. But read up for yourself!

The history of the ARCOTEL Moser Verdino started out with a small gate in the city walls of Klagenfurt called "Schlupf". This gate enabled easy access to the city since contrary to the other city gates its key was in private hands. For this reason, the door could be opened at will whenever the need arose.

In 1514, a great fire ravaged large parts of Klagenfurt. During the reconstruction works, a small house was built on the site of the "Schlupf", whose owners readily took up and cherished the special atmosphere of the place.

All the people who have worked in this building ever since have offered some sort of shelter by providing board and lodging. In 1680, the Klagenfurt merchant Georg Struggl and his wife Elisabeth bought the building and turned it into a hotel. Later on, their son Martin fell in love at first sight with the adorable daughter of an iron ore mine operator, Maria Josefa, who he married in 1723.

In part two of the story, you will find out whether their relationship persisted over the years.

The famous chocolate fondant is back

After few years of absence it's back! The famous chocolate fondant, for which the restaurant was formerly known, is back.

The chocolate fondant will be also on the new menu of the restaurant Radicchio, which is presenter four times a year! The promotion and the comeback took place on the main square in Zagreb at the "Chocolate Festival", where our chef Danijel Bibic presented the preparation. Infront of the audience Danijel made 18 fondants and answered questions on it, what to consider when making the fondant. Danijel took the opportunity and presented by the way the offer of the restaurant and the ARCOTEL Allegra itself in a fun and entertaining way. Through humorous comments, he has managed to create a cheerful mood.
That was the first "Chocolate Fest", which was organized in Zagreb, but since the feedback is so good, the organizers consider similar events for the future to promote Croatian cuisine.

Enjoy a special evening!
