Apéro Classic
from CHF 35 per person
Small things to eat while people talk before dinner.
A salumeria, the way Tuscany does it
We carve fresh on the big machine: prosciutto, salami and mortadella, the way you now only see at a butcher’s. With regional alpine cheese, carrot and onion confit, excellent sourdough and umami sprouts, microgreens that bring concentrated flavour and strong colour.
The machine stands in the room, not in the kitchen. People gather round it and stay, and that is exactly where the conversations worth having begin.

Canapés arranged to be looked at before they are eaten
Presented on coloured chard leaves: toasted baguette, cucumber slices and pumpernickel, topped with beetroot and carrot tartare, tuna mousse, smoked salmon, ham, salami, avocado with feta and walnut, and more. Bite-sized, handed over with a napkin.
The bread is toasted, and together with the toppings that is what makes the difference.
For every dietary requirement
Vegetarian and vegan are part of the selection. Lactose-free, gluten-free, kosher and halal as well. All allergies are taken in advance and labelled on site.
Glasses, tableware, standing tables and everything else
Jugs, ice for chilling, and good staff. There are no unpleasant surprises when the drinks are invoiced, because we calculate the quote realistically from the start. Glasses and tableware are reusable.
And the service comes to your guests
At the same time our people move through the room with trays. Anyone who wants to move has somewhere to go. Anyone deep in conversation has it brought to them.
Good service staff are worth a great deal
We work with colleagues we have known for years, who understand what our clients want. The people on the floor are a significant part of an event and they decide whether it works. Natural warmth, discretion and a feel for a situation can only be taught so far.
Three formats
Apéro riche
from CHF 55
Canapés and a soup, combined with a fine risotto. So many variations are possible here that it is worth a conversation.
Apéro with live cooking

FAQs
How many pieces per person?
For an apéro before dinner, four to six per person. If the apéro replaces dinner, ten to twelve. If the event runs longer than three hours, add roughly one more per extra hour.
What does an apéro cost per person in Zürich?
From around CHF 35 per person for the food. Staff, drinks and equipment come on top and are listed separately in the quote.
How long does an apéro usually last?
Two to three hours. We arrive two hours beforehand and allow around an hour to clear.
Do you bring glasses, standing tables and decoration?
Yes. Glasses, standing tables with covers, bar, refrigeration, flowers, furniture and staff. Anything we do not already carry, we source.
How are drinks invoiced?
By what is actually consumed, on consignment. What matters is a realistic calculation in the quote, so there is no surprise later. We calculate realistically in advance and invoice after the event for what was drunk.
Do you offer alcohol-free drinks?
Yes. We mix our own mocktails, matched to your menu, alongside homemade iced teas and still and sparkling water in glass bottles. Alcohol-free is a list of its own here.
What occasions suit an apéro?
Gallery openings, product launches, client events, general meetings, company anniversaries and receptions after a ceremony.
What is your minimum number of guests?
From two people for a private chef and for boardroom lunches. From 20 guests for a flying dinner, tavolata or live cooking. Up to 1,500 at the other end.
