The Wellington – a classic reinterpreted
Wellington, a traditional classic of British cuisine, was originally created as a festive dish for special occasions. Legend has it that it was named after Arthur Wellesley, the first Duke of Wellington, the victorious general at the Battle of Waterloo. His favourite dish, a combination of succulent fillet of beef, mushrooms and fine pâté wrapped in puff pastry, became popular in Great Britain in the 19th century and was long regarded as a symbol of upscale banquets. Today, this dish is enjoyed all over the world – and at the Kaiserhof it is interpreted in a modern way.
The Wellington variants: Classic and vegetarian
In the Brunnenhof restaurant you can enjoy other exclusive creations in addition to the classic beef variant.
The classic version impresses with its full, hearty flavour. It combines a juicy fillet of beef with a tender puff pastry, a rich port wine jus and glazed colourful winter vegetables. As a side dish, the gratin dauphinois, a creamy potato dish, rounds off this dish perfectly. The light butteriness of the puff pastry creates a harmonious interplay of textures and flavours.
For fish lovers, there is the fine salmon in puff pastry, accompanied by a light lemon foam that adds freshness. The colourful winter vegetables are also served here, combined with a creamy potato puree that gives the dish a harmonious texture.
Vegetarians and lovers of creative dishes will get their money’s worth with Wellington’s latest creation. The filling consists of a balanced combination of beetroot, which adds a fruity, earthy flavour, and tangy spinach. Wrapped in crispy puff pastry, this dish offers a fine, balanced flavour experience. It is served with a mushroom jus, which gives the dish additional depth, accompanied by creamy mashed potatoes and colourful winter vegetables.
