What makes our meat different?
Organic. Local. No live-animal transport.
For us, good meat begins long before it reaches the kitchen.
Our beef, chicken and lamb come from farm and pasture slaughter. The animals remain in their familiar environment until the end.
There is no live-animal transport to a slaughterhouse.
We work with farms and producers from the Canton of Zurich and source our ingredients as locally as possible.
100% Organic
Our ingredients are organic. Our meat includes Bio Suisse and Demeter certified products.
From the Zurich Region
Our beef comes from partner farms in the Pfannenstiel region near Zurich.
Made in House
We make many of the things we serve ourselves – including sourdough bread, burger buns, sauces and charcuterie.
