Alcron Restaurant
Top luxury, that is exactly what the new restaurant has written in its birth certificate. The top clients should feel comfortable in their top restaurant providing the best service, best atmosphere and food quality. Providing attractive dining in an unformal atmosphere, the Alcron will fight for the best: clientelle ( having 30 seats at maximum), atmosphere (re-hired the awarded designer of the hotel interior Mrs. Maria Vafiadis) and service quality (competing for the Michelin guide rating). The present chef, young and talented Mr. Jiri Stift brought the Radisson SAS hotel's cuisine to its current popularity. His success factors are: freshest possible ingredients, constant quality of the food, service smart but little casual, not stiff and old fashioned, reasonable pricing of the menu and wine list.

As you can see below, this year was very succesful for the restaurant. Alcron was listed as the top restaurant by the Gourmet Dining Guide 2002 and also recieved INTERNATIONAL FIVE STAR DIAMOND AWARD by the American Academy of Hospitality Sciences.
