Andrea Accordi, Executive Chef of Allegro restaurant commented: "We are delighted that the Prague culinary scene is increasingly being recognised for its quality. It is definitely exciting to be the first with the Michelin star in the region.”
"I joined Four Seasons Hotel Prague only a few months ago and from the beginning was delighted to see such a well trained and passionate team of professionals; one that easily adapted to some of the changes I introduced. - I am delighted to see that this Michelin star acknowledges the quality of their hard work," added Accordi.
Guests of Allegro experience the finest Italian and Mediterranean cuisine in Prague. The menu reflects the flavours of Italy in a superb, yet simple approach. Executive Chef Andrea Accordi personally recommends his favorite dishes, which can be savoured indoors or al fresco, on the Restaurant’s 45-seat terrace overlooking the Vltava River and Prague Castle. Supported by a team of 30 cooks, Accordi affirms his true style in each and every dish he produces.
Accordi’s cuisine can be described as creative yet genuine, based on use of the best products and seasonal ingredients available on the market. His remarkable creativity is characterized by an exquisite blend of flavors and styles of various cultures, together with the skilful use of spices (Chinese anise, Szechuan pepper, cardamom, citronella, liquorice, ginger, galangal and lemongrass) – even though he himself stresses that spices should only be used to evoke a particular atmosphere and must not interfere with flavours and therefore must be used sparingly. It is precisely the desire to broaden the horizons of his cuisine that has led this young chef to learn various techniques for the preparation and presentation of dishes, and to use all types of ingredients, from the simplest to the most unusual.
