From our kitchen to your table

Three steps. Then, enjoy.

  1. You choose

    Choose your dishes and a suitable delivery by phone or online. Try a first order before deciding how you would like to continue.

  2. We cook and deliver

    Our kitchen team cooks your dishes in Switzerland. They travel chilled to your address, by refrigerated delivery or insulated parcel depending on your area. Put them in the fridge on arrival.

  3. Heat and enjoy

    Dishes keep for seven days in the fridge, following the date and guidance on the label. Heat your portion according to its instructions when you are ready to eat.

Already cooked. Just heat and enjoy.

Each dish comes in an individual tray with ingredients, allergen information and reheating instructions. You need a fridge and a suitable way to heat your dishes. Remove small cold sauce pots before heating.

Holidays planned. Deliveries skipped.

Enter your holiday dates in advance: deliveries during your absence are skipped automatically, then your usual schedule resumes. No need to remember each week. Set the dates before the affected orders are locked.

Automatic deliveries are recurring paid orders. You can also choose to activate deliveries yourself. Saved exclusions guide the selection; check ingredients and possible traces on each product.

Before you get started

Your questions, simply answered.

Practical information for arranging meals at home.

022 789 60 60
Can I arrange everything by phone?

Yes. Call 022 789 60 60 to sign up, order, set your default food preferences and pause deliveries with our automated telephone assistant. Simply say what you would like to do.

Do I have to order every week?

You can order occasionally or arrange regular deliveries. If your plans change, adjust upcoming orders or request a pause by phone or in your account before the change deadline.

How much do dishes and delivery cost?

The price depends on your dishes, quantities and delivery address. Prices are shown when choosing dishes, and the total is confirmed before you place the order. By phone, ask for an order summary before confirming.

Do the dishes arrive hot?

They arrive cooked and chilled. Refrigerate them on arrival, then heat just the portion you want to eat, following its label. That way, you choose your own mealtime.

What about my preferences or allergies?

Save your preferences and exclusions by phone or in your account. Always check each dish’s ingredients and allergens: traces may be present. Saved preferences do not guarantee that a dish is free from allergens.

Where and when can I receive a delivery?

We deliver throughout Switzerland. Available days, delivery methods and lead times depend on your address and chosen dishes. These are provided when ordering. Arrange to receive the dishes and put them in the fridge.

Does it work if I live on my own?

Yes. Dishes come in individual portions. Choose different dishes for the week and heat one at a time. There is no need to cook a large batch or eat the same thing several days in a row.

They make room for us at their table.

We're loving merci Chef! It's a reasonable minimum order and the platform is simple. The reason I chose it, as there are quite a few, is the variety of styles of meals. We're a family with young kids and so for just the adults we like to eat more adventurous but there are options each week that our kids will plausibly eat full portions of as well and that makes such a difference. Secondly - the a la carte option is a game changer. Because while often our kids won't eat the whole meal, they'll likely eat some of it and that allows me to tailor to our families tastes. I also love that there's not huge amounts of packaging. So good - thank you!
