Layered, considered, and full of contrast, this pork fillet brings together bold, unexpected elements that each hold their own, yet work in perfect harmony.

From the richness of homemade bacon to the brightness of apple, the depth of cider reduction to the smoothness of vichyssoise purée… every bite reveals something new.

A dish like this doesn’t belong in a single frame. It deserves its own album.

This is where classic ingredients meet a completely new expression.
Pork fillet, reimagined with sharp, tangy sauerkraut, the savoury depth of homemade bacon, and the subtle sweetness of apple layered in two forms.

Finished with a silky vichyssoise purée and a rich cider reduction that ties it all together.

It’s familiar, but not as you know it, refined, balanced, and built to surprise.
