FOOD AT THE ECOLE
Our menu includes wholesome, balanced, nutritious meals, sustainably sourced from local ingredients. We cater to a variety of dietary needs, including vegetarian, gluten-free diets, allergies, and religious observances. Fresh, local, and sustainable.
FRESH, LOCAL & SUSTAINABLE
Our pastoral campus, in the heart of the Bernese Alps, is surrounded by small family-run farms. We source the majority of our food from local suppliers, and we produce as much as we can in-house.
Meals at the Ecole d’Humanité are balanced, seasonal, and feature fresh, local ingredients, most of which are sourced from within Switzerland. Each meal offers a vegetarian option, and special dietary needs are accommodated. All of the meat served at the Ecole d’Humanité is sourced locally, and all fish is MSC Certified.
Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are served family-style in the Esssaal, our community dining space. Students come together to eat in Families, sharing the highs and lows of their day over a delicious meal.
A snack is served mid-morning, and baskets of fruit are available throughout the day.
Wednesdays are Family Evenings, when students gather together in their family chalets to cook elaborate meals or favorite comfort foods. Students share the responsibilities of planning, cooking, and cleaning together, and later graduate from the Ecole with impressive culinary skills, or even better - the ability to leave a kitchen spic and span after a meal!
OUR KITCHEN TEAM
Our kitchen team, led by experienced chef Kevin Schwab, creates a diverse menu at the Ecole d'Humanité, including traditional Swiss dishes and international cuisine. The motto of our chef?"Back to the roots, but reimagined!" He values traditional culinary elements and ingredients while also pursuing a fresh and innovative approach to crafting dishes for Ecole d'Humanité. Whether it's Bernese apple rösti, fresh milk from the neighboring farm, or locally sourced beef from the butcher, our menu strives to be fresh, local, and sustainable whenever possible.
