How would you define your cooking style?
I describe my cooking style as highly distinctive—fresh, bold in flavour, and centred around monochromatic dishes.
How does the location of your restaurant inspire your cooking?
The basic ingredients, especially the vegetables, are sourced from the surrounding area. This freshness is essential to our cuisine.

Having a daughter and guiding her on her path into life.

My dream dish is bursting with freshness and plenty of vegetables. It could be as simple as a vibrant vegetable soup or a crisp vegetable salad with a variety of nuts and herbs…

What is your favourite Krug food pairing?
My favourite dish to enjoy with Krug is white truffles, served with a confit egg yolk and mountain potato foam.
