Especially in times of uncertainty about the quality and origin of groceries, it is important to critically inform oneself. Executive chef Johann Schwarz shares this opinion and thus, organized a guided visit of our supplier C+C Pfeiffer. The wholesaler of the hotel and gastronomy industry places great emphasis on the quality of its products and offers a great variety of regional as well as biological groceries. However, the management team of the ARCOTEL Kaiserwasser wanted to personally convince themselves and went to visit C+C Pfeiffer yesterday.

Not only we learned a lot about the quality management of our supplier, but also enjoyed exclusive wines and liquors. Additionally, a delicious cheese and sausage platter has been served that met the high expectations of our chef cook.

"At our restaurant UNO, it is our endeavor to culinary surprise our clients and therefore, the individual products have to be of the highest quality", so executive chef Johann Schwarz. For this reason, the ARCOTEL Kaiserwasser wants to personally know its suppliers. With this in mind, we would like to invite you to try our renowned kitchen at the restaurant UNO.

PICASSO IN ZAGREB

On 23 April 2013 the largest exhibition of representative works by Pablo Picasso will open in Zagreb. Picasso is a famous Spanish painter, graphic artist and sculptor, whose works are widely appreciated around the world and in Croatia as well, though the majority of his opus will remain a mystery. The exhibition will present Picasso’s masterpieces that have been displayed worldwide in the last three years. After Europe, the USA, China, Japan, Taiwan, Russia, Australia and Hong Kong, the exhibition will also arrive in Zagreb. Picasso’s fans will have the opportunity to visit it until 7 July 2013 and see for themselves the life story of one of the most famous artists of the 20th century. The exhibition comprises over 56 paintings and other works along with 40 photographs, displayed at the Klovićevi dvori Gallery, which will most certainly amaze numerous visitors.

ARCOTEL Allegra Zagreb has recognized the great interest of Picasso’s fans and for that reason it has already prepared special offers for your stay in Zagreb in that period for which you can already book your tickets now. The Zagreb audience will be particularly fascinated by the part of the exhibition dedicated to Pablo’s muse – Croatian Dora Maar- who exerted a great influence on Pablo’s life with her political views. Visitors may admire her portrait from 1937. A unique event which will transform Zagreb  into a desirable cultural destination. Visit hotel ARCOTEL Allegra and the Klovićevi dvori Gallery from 23 March to 7 July 2013 and admire Picasso’s works.
