Background and brief
In 2008 Jeffrey Vella joined the Regent Esplanade Zagreb hotel as the Executive Chef and started the renaissance of modern Croatian Cuisine at Le bistro Esplanade and Zinfandel restaurant. The Zinfandel restaurant is an outstanding spot which transfers the elegance of Art Deco hotel, the Esplanade, built for the Orient Express back in 1925, to the dining room.
Our Solution

During his work at the Regent Esplanade hotel, Vella transformed Le bistro Esplanade into a successful, propulsive restaurant with menu changed seasonally and achieved at Zinfandel restaurant a world class status in haute cuisine.
