How it works
1. You pick
Choose your dishes for the week or save each person’s preferences. Order occasionally or choose regular deliveries, with no minimum subscription period. For the upcoming menu, order by 11.59pm six days before delivery; available stock meals and exact deadlines are shown when ordering.
2. We cook
Our chefs cook your dishes in Switzerland, with quality ingredients and careful cooking. Menu dishes arrive chilled and ready to reheat, with no recipe to follow or ingredients to prepare.
3. We deliver
One chilled delivery for your week: our own rounds around Lake Geneva or Swiss Post throughout Switzerland. Swiss Post delivers Monday to Wednesday depending on the service; Thursday is for stock orders only. Enter your postcode to see your options.
4. You enjoy & repeat
Refrigerate on arrival and follow each label for storage and reheating: up to a week depending on the delivery day, or 4–5 days for Thursday stock deliveries. Change or skip future open orders before their deadline; locked orders remain payable. Plan holidays in your account.
At our customers’ tables
What our merciChef customers say.
★★★★★
Honestly a life safer for us. We relied heavily on merciChef meals to ease our lives at home when dealing with a newborn baby. Yes the website is a bit finicky sometimes, but the food in general is high quality and tastes good (just season it to your taste!) Thank you for the yummy meals!
★★★★★
I have been a customer for 6 years and I would highly recommend. The weekly choices are varied and as someone who exercises a lot it is great to have tasty and nutritious food on my plate in 3 minutes!
★★★★★
We’ve been using Merci Chef every week for nearly three years now and are very happy with the service. The food is great – fresh, varied from week to week, good value, and with plenty of attention paid to allergies and dietary requirements. The customer service is excellent too: responsive, helpful, and always willing to sort things out when there’s a question. There are a few competitors appearing on the scene these days, but we’re sticking with Merci Chef all the way. Highly recommended!
★★★★★
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!

Your questions, simply answered.
Are these therapeutic or texture-modified meals?
Our dishes are everyday meals, not a therapeutic diet or a texture-modified range. For a prescribed diet or swallowing difficulties, have the person’s healthcare professional check the choices before ordering.
Does the person need to create their own account?
Our team can help with the first order by phone. Agree with the person who chooses meals, receives deliveries and pays. Do not include medical records in a contact enquiry.
How do delivery and storage work?
Enter the address to see delivery days and methods: merciChef rounds around Lake Geneva or Swiss Post throughout Switzerland. Refrigerate products on arrival and follow each label. Meals keep for up to a week depending on delivery day; stock meals delivered on Thursday keep for 4–5 days.
Is there a minimum subscription period?
No. You can order occasionally or choose regular deliveries. Change or skip open orders before their deadline. Orders already locked remain payable; pausing a routine does not cancel them.
