Michele carrying a crate of strawberries through the Zürich Engrosmarkt in the early morning light

For ten years, every menu has started at four in the morning.

We cook fresh, with no convenience food whatsoever. Our kitchen is inside the Zürcher Engrosmarkt, the largest fresh produce market in the city. Where others have their produce delivered, we pick the best of it ourselves every morning.

Still from the film: Michele at the Zürcher Engrosmarkt
The market

Good food starts with a good eye.

Michele could order online. He doesn’t. He goes because he wants to see the produce, because the traders have known him for years and show him what is genuinely good that morning, and because the best ideas for a menu tend to come at the stall rather than at a desk.

You customise your menu. We find the best produce to match it.

Over 600 events in ten years: company events for more than 40 businesses, along with weddings and private celebrations, in Zürich and across Switzerland.

Live cooking and event design

We don’t only cook. We create experiences that last.

Michele stirring the steaming paella pan as guests watch in the garden: live cooking in Zürich

Your table, our fire

It starts with a paella pan a metre and a half across, in the middle of the room. The cooking happens in front of your guests, not in a kitchen next door. People gather round, watch, ask questions, and before long almost everyone is standing at the pan.

And we set the room

For one Christmas party we put 50 trees into an open-plan office. Nobody recognised the place afterwards. We find venues that appear on no list, and take on the flowers, the bar, the menu cards and the table decoration as well.

What our guests say

“You didn’t simply cater an event; you helped us create an experience.”

“The way you brought together South African and Swiss flavours was such a thoughtful reflection of what the evening represented for us: two worlds coming together as we begin this new chapter in Switzerland. Thank you for caring about our celebration as though it were your own.”

Charlotte, Neville, Grant and Darren Crosse

«Michael hat uns und unsere Gäste in allen Belangen lukullisch verwöhnt.»

«Unser Festessen anlässlich unseres 50. Geburtstages war in jeder Hinsicht vorzüglich: Die Präsentation, die Qualität sowie der Geschmack waren exquisit und auch insbesondere Michaels Eingehen auf diverse anspruchsvolle Wünsche war erstklassig. Apéro, Vorspeise, Hauptgang, Käseplatte und Eiscreme sowie ein mundiges Mitternachtsmahl: Michael hat uns und unsere Gäste in allen Belangen lukullisch verwöhnt.»

Karina & Robert
