His original world was the theatre. He studied acting, sang, danced and you could hear his voice on the radio or in dubbing studios.

For three years he worked in our sister <strong>hotel Lomnica<\/strong> under the guidance of creative chef <strong>Tom\u00e1\u0161 \u0160ev\u010d\u00edk<\/strong>, where he perfectly perceived our philosophy of approach to gastronomy. <\/p>\n<p>His journey in  <strong>P\u00e1lffy Manor<\/strong>  started in 2022 in the position of sous chef. Thanks to his precision and vision, it didn&#8217;t take long for him to take over the helm of the Manor&#8217;s kitchen as Head Chef from 2023. Today, he proudly leads our flagship fine dining restaurant <strong>, ARTE Restaurant<\/strong>. <\/p>\n<p>However, his role does not end there. Patrik is also in charge of the entire event kitchen of the manor. He ensures that the high standard of gastronomy that our guests are accustomed to at ARTE accompanies every wedding, celebration or corporate event in the historic premises of P\u00e1lffy Manor.  <\/p>\n<p><strong>Conscious cooking: tradition in a new guise<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t look for exotic or imported ingredients in the ARTE kitchen. Patrick&#8217;s philosophy is built on three pillars: <\/p>\n<ol class=\"ProsemirrorEditor-list\">\n<li class=\"ProsemirrorEditor-listItem\" data-list-indent=\"1\" data-list-type=\"numbered\"><strong>Locality:<\/strong> making the most of what our land gives us.<\/li>\n<li class=\"ProsemirrorEditor-listItem\" data-list-indent=\"1\" data-list-type=\"numbered\"><strong>Tradition:<\/strong> the legacy of the Austro-Hungarian cuisine, which is naturally linked to the manor house.<\/li>\n<li class=\"ProsemirrorEditor-listItem\" data-list-indent=\"1\" data-list-type=\"numbered\"><strong>Nostalgia:<\/strong> Flavours we know, presented in a form we didn&#8217;t expect.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>A perfect example is our <strong>almond dessert<\/strong>. The inspiration came from an almond tree growing right next to the manor house. The result is burnt almond milk with black tea in a caramel chocolate crust. It looks like an almond, tastes like a memory, in fact it is a complex flavour full of surprising textures.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"l-section wpb_row height_auto width_custom\" style=\"--site-content-width:780px;\"><div class=\"l-section-h i-cf\"><div class=\"g-cols vc_row via_grid cols_1 laptops-cols_inherit tablets-cols_inherit mobiles-cols_1 valign_top type_default stacking_default\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"w-image us_custom_2d9ebfef has_ratio align_none\"><div class=\"w-image-h\"><div style=\"padding-bottom:100%\"><\/div><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1008\" height=\"1512\" src=\"https:\/\/arterestaurant.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/A7407172-1-scaled.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" loading=\"eager\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"l-section wpb_row us_custom_d636c971 height_auto width_custom\" style=\"--site-content-width:780px;\"><div class=\"l-section-h i-cf\"><div class=\"g-cols vc_row via_grid cols_1 laptops-cols_inherit tablets-cols_inherit mobiles-cols_1 valign_top type_default stacking_default\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column us_custom_6187a5cd\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h5>What is the &#8220;best&#8221; according to Head Chef?<\/h5>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_text_column text-16\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 &#091;&#093;\">You might expect the Head Chef of a top restaurant to prepare an elaborate tasting menu at home.
