The classic Kalvbrässen or Cordon Bleu has been on the menu since opening in November 2022. It has earned its place as one of our signature dishes as it is loved by guests and staff. That this dish would get a place on the menu was not an of course, Micke tells us more about the days before opening.
“In fact, this dish was one of the last to be on the menu before the opening of Chez Jolie. We sampled veal brisket in different varieties and with different sides. We actually wanted to include an interpretation of Schnitzel Cordon bleu. The idea was born to instead combine these two dishes into one, Veal brisket Cordon Bleu. As time was running short and we didn’t know if the idea would work in practice with an “assembled” and breaded veal brisket schnitzel filled with Gruèere cheese and ham, but we managed and it actually turned out better than we had dared to hope for. It has been one of our most popular dishes since opening and will hopefully be around for a long time to come as a signature dish to be proud of.” – Micke
