Seasonal Elegance Meets Mediterranean Warmth
This festive season, Marguita at Baur au Lac offers a menu so evocative it feels like you’ve boarded a private yacht bound for the Amalfi Coast—except you’re nestled in the heart of Zurich as snowflakes gently fall. Chef Maximilian Müller has masterfully woven Mediterranean vibrancy with Swiss seasonal touches, creating dishes that are as elegant as they are comforting.
Picture this: rosemary-laced roasted lamb with a bright note of preserved citrus, a creamy risotto kissed with the earthy decadence of locally foraged truffles, and, to finish, a dessert starring velvety Swiss chestnuts and honey-glazed figs. Each plate is an edible postcard, sending diners on a journey through coastal flavors while grounding them in the warmth and magic of winter.
A Winter Wonderland Like No Other
The ambiance at Marguita is pure winter romance. Designed by Martin Brudnizki, the interiors are a study in contemporary luxury, glowing with soft candlelight and adorned with subtle nods to the season. The real pièce de résistance? The terrace. Draped in twinkling lights and overlooking the serene, icy expanse of Lake Zurich, it’s the ideal setting for an après-dinner toast with one of Marguita’s signature cocktails.
It’s the kind of place where intimate whispers over a delicate tartlet feel just as at home as a festive gathering for twenty. The staff moves with the effortless grace that only a legacy like Baur au Lac can provide, ensuring every guest feels like the evening’s most important guest.
