Every menu is crafted after understanding your taste, dietary requirements, number of guests, and the mood or theme of your event. Once these elements are discussed, Chef Karim proposes a curated selection of dishes—built from seasonal, locally sourced Swiss produce. You have the opportunity to refine or adjust the options before the final menu is confirmed. This ensures your dining experience is truly personalised and unique.
Chef Karim brings a strong foundation of Swiss, European, and contemporary fine-dining techniques, shaped by years of experience in elite restaurants. His cuisine is known for its balance of flavour harmony, refined plating, seasonal ingredients, and touches of modern creativity. From sophisticated tasting menus to elegant comfort dishes, his style celebrates both tradition and innovation.
Absolutely. Chef Karim regularly designs menus for guests with allergies, intolerances, religious restrictions, plant-based diets, and personal preferences.

However, last-minute enquiries are welcome and may be accommodated depending on schedule availability. Early booking ensures the widest choice of dates and the best planning experience.
Yes. While Chef Karim does not directly supply alcohol, he happily provides expert wine pairing recommendations, sourcing guidance, and suggestions that complement your selected dishes. Non-alcoholic pairing options—such as infused waters, crafted juices, and specialty teas—can also be curated.
Chef Karim is based in Switzerland and caters to clients across Zurich, Lucerne, Zug, Davos, and surrounding regions. For exclusive events or corporate bookings, travel beyond these locations can be arranged upon request.
Pricing varies depending on the number of guests, complexity of the menu, ingredients required, travel distance, and service needs. After completing the Initial or Full Request Form, you will receive a tailored quote. Each event is priced transparently to ensure clarity with no hidden costs.
Very little is required from you. Ideally, a clear workspace, kitchen access, and a functioning stove/oven are sufficient. Chef Karim brings his own specialty tools and equipment when needed. If tableware or special setups are required, they can be arranged in advance. The goal is to provide a seamless restaurant-quality experience in the comfort of your space—without any stress on your part.
