1. All About the Food
What is the culinary direction?
We place great importance on excellent, balanced, and seasonal cuisine that combines culinary influences from all over the world, focusing on high-quality ingredients from sustainable sources. Our menu changes with the seasons to utilize the natural diversity of different harvest times and offer a wide spectrum of taste experiences. Through close collaboration with local farmers and producers, we ensure the freshness and quality of our dishes.
How often do the dishes change?
The menu changes weekly to provide a varied culinary experience. We take into account various factors such as the popularity of certain dishes, seasonality, and availability of ingredients. This allows us to always offer fresh and interesting taste experiences that exceed our guests' expectations while responsibly managing natural resources.
How long do the dishes last?
The dishes we offer last up to 7 days in the fridge, allowing for flexible and convenient meal planning. Thanks to innovative packaging technology using a protective atmosphere and oxygen removal, your food stays fresh and flavorful over this period without the use of preservatives. This process not only extends shelf life but also maintains the nutrients and authentic taste of the dishes.
Where do the ingredients come from?
We place great importance on using high-quality ingredients, mostly from regenerative agriculture sourced from regional farms. This not only supports the local economy but also promotes sustainable farming and harvesting methods that nourish the soil and protect the environment. In selecting our meat products, animal welfare is a priority; we source our meat from farms committed to humane animal husbandry and responsible resource management. Through these practices, we aim to provide our guests with not only delicious but also ethically responsible meals.
What is the best way to heat the dishes?
Heating our dishes is designed to seamlessly adapt to your kitchen equipment. Whether you prefer a pan, an oven, a steamer, or a microwave – we've prepared a simple guide for each method, printed directly on the packaging. This ensures the result is just as delicious and appealing as you expect from us.
To reheat, please remove the transparent bowls. The contents of the bowls must be added to the dish after heating.
Oven: Remove the transparent foil from the dish and preheat the oven to 110 degrees Celsius. Fill a small ovenproof container with a little water (approx. 1-2 dl) Place the dish and the container in the oven for approx. 30 minutes.
Steamer: Remove the transparent foil from the dish. Use the regeneration function at 95 degrees Celsius and heat for approx. 25 minutes.
Pan: Heat the pan on a medium heat, add the food and heat it, stirring occasionally, until it is hot through and through. Reduce the heat if necessary to prevent burning.
Microwave: Prick the foil several times with a fork and heat the dish at 600 watts for 3-4 minutes.
Enjoy your meal!

Can I freeze the dishes as well?
Our dishes are generally designed to be stored in the freezer for up to three months. Important: it is advisable to consume the meal within twelve hours of thawing. However, we recommend avoiding long-term storage in the freezer to ensure the most authentic and freshest taste. This is because freezing and subsequent thawing can affect the texture and flavors of the ingredients.
