A feast in style. The Christmas holidays are finally upon us, and with them the best traditions - including a festive Christmas dinner, of course! If you're looking for new ideas this year, then we have something very special for you. Lukas Nagl, Executive Chef at Gröller Hospitality, has created an absolutely fantastic menu for the RONDO Christmas menu of the Standard. It combines classic Christmas flavours with a modern twist and is guaranteed to make your eyes light up at the festive table.
Lukas Nagl's Christmas menu starts with a wonderfully aromatic starter. Imagine tender chestnuts harmonised with fine spices. There is also a light, fresh note that gives the dish that certain something. Perfect to get your palate in the mood for the evening.
For the main course, Nagl opts for a true classic: duck leg. But not just any duck leg! The leg is presented in its best form - juicy, tender and with a crispy skin that simply tastes like Christmas. It is served with a sophisticated side dish that plays with winter flavours. Still not enough? A crisp, fresh winter salad adds a pleasant lightness that rounds off the dish perfectly.
And then comes the dessert. It's sweet, warm and really cosy: a baked apple tart that simply smells of childhood memories and Christmas markets. Crispy pastry, a heavenly apple filling and a pinch of cinnamon - that's all it takes to bring the evening to a successful close.
What makes this menu so special is the perfect balance between tradition and modernity. It shows how classic ingredients such as duck, chestnuts and baked apples can be presented in a fresh and contemporary way. This is exactly what makes Lukas Nagl special - he knows how to tell culinary stories that inspire everyone at the table.
So if you want to try something new this year, but don't want to miss out on the classics, then this menu is the perfect inspiration.
