Picnic menu options

Here are a few seasonal favourites we can prepare for your picnic—tailored to your group size and food preferences.

Breads

Fresh Local Baguettes
Crusty on the outside, soft and airy inside—baked the same day by a village boulangerie and perfect for scooping, dipping, and layering. (Gluten-free options available)

Rye Crackers
Hearty, earthy, and satisfyingly crisp—these traditional Swiss rye crackers add a rustic crunch to every bite

Spreads

Artichoke Spread
A creamy, savoury mix of fromage frais, marinated artichokes, and garlic—bright, herby, and utterly addictive

Smoked Trout & Fromage Frais
Organic fromage frais with horseradish, topped with smoked alpine trout and a tangle of homemade pickled onions for a bright, briny finish

Creamy Hummus with Sundried Tomato Swirl
Velvety chickpea purée blended with tahini and lemon, finished with olive oil, paprika, and a swirl of tangy sundried tomato

Baba Ganoush
A smoky eggplant dip made with tahini, garlic, and lemon, offering a silky texture and subtle depth of flavour

With red onion, mint, parsley, and a lemon-sumac dressing
