Olivia Gastro Park. Through the stomach to the heart of the residents

The awarding of two restaurants from the Olivia Centre with the prestigious laurels of the Michelin culinary guide was widely publicized in the media all over the country.
The star, which is the highest distinction in the world of gastronomy, was won by the Arco by Paco Perez restaurant, and the Treinta y Tres restaurant won the Bib Gourmand distinction.
Both restaurants are located on the 33rd floor of Olivia Star and are run by internationally renowned chefs – the Spaniard Paco Perez and the Italian Antonio Arcieri.

 

However, managing gastronomy in a business center is a challenge that poses an even higher degree of challenge to managers on a daily basis than running a fine-dining restaurant.
Such restaurants provide the necessary prestige for such a place and are perfect for celebrating special celebrations, both corporate and private.
The key to culinary success in a business center where as many as 15 thousand people work.
The employees seem to be not only of high quality, but also diversity, allowing them to escape from everyday monotony and repetitiveness, which is why there are as many as 12 restaurants and smaller catering outlets operating in Olivia Centre.

 

At the heart of such a wide range of food and beverage products is the belief that its quality is one of the factors influencing the assessment of the workplace.
What’s more, good, quality nutrition and a varied diet are the basis of well-being and translate into work efficiency.
Certainly, providing this to 15,000 employees is not an easy challenge, but such a number of potential guests is a considerable market potential, and the example of Olivia Centre shows that it can be done well.

 

– We are fully aware that the vast majority of Olivia’s employees regularly use the offer of catering facilities that await in our centre, which is why this is one of the areas that we are trying to take care of.
Even if not on an ongoing basis, at least at the stage of selecting culinary concepts, we want to ensure the greatest possible variety and quality
– says Maciej Kotarski from Olivia Centre.
We are aware that tastes are very diverse, but they can also be changeable, which is why we try to ensure that the proposals available in Olivia allow us to provide interesting culinary options not only in terms of dishes, but also the forms and times of the day in which they are offered.
We have managed to provide original breakfast, lunch and evening concepts, as well as a variety of formulas: from casual bars, confectioneries and classic cafes to prestigious restaurants awarded by the Michelin guide.

 

 

 

The latest of the points that are available in Olivia is Zachcianki – a café combined with a bistro, where original breakfasts, lunches and desserts are offered.
As Ewa Kowalska, co-owner of Zachcianki, emphasizes , their offer is unique on the Tri-City market: Dishes are prepared on the spot, and cakes are baked in a workshop in Wrzeszcz.
We use simple, natural ingredients that everyone has at home, but what distinguishes us is that we show the full ingredients – so that the customer knows exactly what they are eating and we do not do it only for desserts, but we also show the full ingredients and nutritional values for savoury dishes.
This is an unusual approach on the Tri-City market for now, but we hope that this will change.
We wanted Wanting to be a place where you can slow down for a moment, take a breath and remind yourself that you have to take care of yourself, that you have to be kind to yourself.
That it is worth fulfilling your whims.
And we can see that it works well – despite the holidays, we have more and more guests.
They drop by for specifics, for a cake with coffee and for informal meetings.

 

Olivia offers such food outlets as KOKU sushi bar, Natka bistro, Starbucks, Lobster restaurant, Work Cafe Santander and Gorąco Polecam café combined with coworking space.
As Maciej Kotarski emphasizes, the variability of preferences requires the creation of a well-thought-out and diverse, but also flexible offer: In Olivia, the answer to this is the multitude of premises and the selection of proposals, which takes place already at the stage of signing their lease agreements.
After years of operation, we already have experience that allows us to predict what the reception of individual proposals may be, and we also make sure not to create internal competition that may affect the situation of our existing tenants.
Therefore, we would certainly not launch two sushi establishments or two pizzerias.

 

Olivia Centre sets the development of attractiveness for the inhabitants of the Tri-City and tourists 7 days a week and after 5.00 p.m. as one of its goals.
It is for this reason that attractions such as observation deck at 32 floors. Olivia Star, Olivia Garden or the conference and event center on the 34th floor of the tallest building in northern Poland.
Thanks to this, Olivia quickly became a destination for trips, a place where you can spend a Friday evening at a disco, shanty or jazz concert.
The largest Polish business centre already has theatre performances and concerts by such stars of the Polish scene as Krystyna Janda, Leszek Możdżer, Daria Zawiałow, Mrozu and Krzysztof Zalewski. Over 1700 events take place annually in Olivia , so it can be considered that Olivia has already become one of the most attractive places not only for work, but also for the cultural and entertainment life of the Tri-City. This is also confirmed by the award of the Marshal of the Pomeranian Voivodeship, awarded to Olivia on the occasion of the International Tourism Day for expanding the tourist offer of Pomerania with non-obvious projects at an exceptional level.
It is the only award that has been awarded to office buildings for the development of the tourist offer of a given region.

 

The new buildings of Olivia, the construction of which is already being prepared, will additionally increase the demand for services offered in Olivia, so it is possible that the proposals in this largest Polish business center will expand even more.
The most important thing, however, is that Olivia remains a friendly center, open to residents and guests from all over the world, not only during the center’s opening hours.
