Dear Guests!
If this is missing
in the morning
then nothing
seems right – your
beloved cup of
coffee. In many
places, coffee –
right behind
water – is the
most popular
beverage. That’s
a good reason to
take a closer look at this pick-meup by peeking behind the scenes:
Marché® celebrates the responsible
enjoyment of coffee by using
Mövenpick Bio/Fairtrade coffee
beans in many countries.
As we are on the topic of quality, we
should also mention that tea is not
always simply tea. we rely totally
on our specialised tea suppliers, like
Vreni Federici. we purchase fresh
tea leaves from our tea expert in
Davos, switzerland, and our guests
can enhance their tea enjoyment at
our tea bar by adding home-made
syrup or dried fruit. You can read
more about how to do this on the
following pages.
And what goes perfectly with tea
or coffee? Of course, cake! we’ve
done some poking around and
found out which kinds of cake are
most popular in the various Marché®
countries – read on and take a look
for yourself.
On this note, I would like to wish all
of you many warm and “sweet”
moments at Marché® !

Marché Mövenpick Zürich
It’s time for something really fresh
The strengths of the two brand names
“Marché” and “Mövenpick” have joined
forces: Freshness and front-cooking
blend with the pleasurable and
full-service Mövenpick concept.
“ The heart of the full-service
restaurant is the open kitchen
with its large grill.”
swiss grilled dishes are prepared right
in front of the curious eyes of our
guests. One part of the restaurant
Marché Mövenpick Asia Square
Marché Mövenpick
Zürich was opened in
October 2013 and
is the flagship restaurant
for the new concept at
“Marché Mövenpick”.

Moving up in singapore
ngapore
Our expansion in singapore is now
moving into the fifth round: In
November 2013, Marché Mövenpick
Asia square opened its doors for the
first time. In 2007, Marché® opened
its first restaurant in singapore –
Marché VivoCity – and thanks to
on-going growth, Marché®, only six
years later, is now operating its
fifth location at various areas in this
seemingly european metropolis.
Vreni Federici
Lending a hand in India: Vreni Federici (left) often helps out
with the harvesting of the tea on the plantations.
VreniS FAScinAtiOn with teA
Cheerful and easy-going Vreni Federici is
passionately enthusiastic about tea:
“I am fascinated by the culture around
tea, the feeling of relaxation from tea
and its therapeutic qualities. That’s why
I want to offer only the best possible
quality to my tea-lovers.” And this
dedication to quality fits perfectly with
what is also expected in Marché®
restaurants: “Marché® prepares its fresh
products for the guests with a great
deal of care – our fresh teas fit right in.”
the Secret OF the teA LeAF
The swiss Marché® restaurants get their
black and green teas, as well as their
rooibos, herbal and fruit tea blends,
from Vreni Federici. The tea expert was
“discovered” by the former store man-
ager at Marché heidiland. And what is
the secret of Verni Federici’s good tea?
“we sell only tea leaves, and this means
only whole or partial leaves – never
finely broken tea leaves like those used
in a typical tea bag. If you ever have
the pleasure of enjoying exquisite tea
leaves, you will never go back to another
kind of tea.”
“ My favorite kind of tea:
Darjeeling green tea, as well
as my own personal blends, to
which I only add natural
things like blossoms, spices,
herbs, fruit or vanilla.”
Vreni Federici,

riGht there where it GrOwS
Most of our teas come from private
plantations in India, sri Lanka or China,
where Vreni Federici and her daughter
Carmen often visit and lend a hand.
That’s how they check the quality, the
environmental conditions, and also the
fair treatment of the tea pickers and
the people who work in the plants there.
whenever possible, the trained druggist,
Vreni Federici only buys organic teas that
have a Demeter International certificate
and these are then immediately airshipped to switzerland: This guarantees
freshness far and above that which can
be achieved by land and sea freight.

Chai Latte &

ingredients for 1 tea cup of chai Latte :
50 ml Ceylon or Assam tea
220 ml milk
1 – 2 tsp Chai spice blend
Preparation of chai Latte:
Fill about 1/5 of the pre-warmed cup with the brewed
tea. Froth the milk and pour it over the tea. Then sprinkle
the Chai spice blend generously over the frothed milk.
sUGGesTION FrOM The experTs
You shouldn’t add boiling water to every kind of tea:
“Boiling water is fine for black tea, but when preparing
white or green tea, the water should cool down to
about 80° C (175° F). Only then can the tea leaves develop
their full aroma”, says our tea expert, Vreni Federici
(see page 3).
SniFF, BLenD, tASte
Large tea mugs are waiting for you, right next to the different
kinds of teas – carefully selected and without any preservatives
or artificial colors: various black and green teas, chamomile
blossoms, rose hip tea, or rooibos, are sometimes filled into
small bags by the staff. when fresh herbs and peppermint
are available they join in, along with lemon balm and thyme.
with a slogan like sniff, blend, taste, it’s clear that a visit to
the tea bar will be an enjoyable experience.

Instead of normal sugar or rock sugar, you often have the chance
to sweeten your tea creations with our home-made orange
or lemon sugar, a dash of mint, or vanilla syrup. Are you now
done? Not quite. with freshly sliced oranges and lemons, or
even with dried seasonal fruit such as apples, strawberries,
pineapple, kiwi, or oranges, you can put the final touch on your
individual tea. Now all you have to do is add hot water for the
perfect cup of tea!

It’s no surprise: The fresh, home-made pastry shops at
Marché® offer a wide range of seasonal and “countrysuited” items and seem to be pretty popular for that
reason. The cakes and tarts are freshly made around
the clock right in front of our watchful guests. And
if you are one of those people who prefer a healthier
snack, then one of our spelt wheat selections is perfect for you.
Cream cake
Fruit tarts
Mix the wheat flour, sugar, salt, ginger bread
seasoning and baking powder in a bowl.
Add the nuts and the coarsely chopped
chocolate to the other dry ingredients. In a
second bowl, whisk the buttermilk, sunflower oil, honey and egg and then add to
the dry ingredients.
Marché® suggestion: To make sure your
muffins are light and fluffy, don’t blend all
of these ingredients too vigorously. Also, a
whisk is better than an electric mixer.
Cheesecake
Chocolate fudge cake
Cut baking paper into small squares of
about 5 x 5 inches (13 x 13 cm) . Now press
these into the muffin tray and using a
spoon add a small amount of dough. Bake
in a pre-heated oven for 25 – 30 minutes at
175°C (350°F) (circulating air oven).

spot to contemplate the wonder of

The area of Grindelwald First (just above
Grindelwald) offers splendid views of the
wetterhorn, schreckhorn and the north
face of the eiger. This three-hour winter
hike leads right into the face of this
impressive trio. From the valley station,
we head gradually up to the Gummihütte.
On the way you will pass Bachtal Lake –
which is frozen solid in winter – and is a
treat to look at. here the path branches
off: to the right up to the Faulhorn – a real
insider tip for experienced winter hikers
– or to the left back into the valley via
Bachläger to the waldspitz. After walking
through a magical winter forest, you will

The mountainous mass of “Les Diablerets” rises monumentally above the village
with the same name. when part of the
mountain broke off in 1714 and devastated Alp Derborence in wallis, people
were convinced that the devil – le diable
– lived inside. The starting point of the
almost one and a half hour high altitude
hike can be reached by PostBus from
Gstaad or Les Diablerets. The route leads
from Col du Pillon over snow-covered
meadows, though mountain forests to
Lac retaud – here you can enjoy a
splendid view of the mountain chain –
and then on to Isenau. From there a cable
car will take you back to Les Diablerets.

’s Tricks
Coffee is one of the most heavily exported goods in the world
– and about 25 million people in Latin America, Africa and Asia
live from the cultivation of these valuable beans. Caring for
the coffee plants, as well as the harvesting and preparing
the beans, are laborious tasks. And the revenues often don’t
even cover the costs of the cultivation and the production.
That makes it really hard for coffee farmers to survive.
“ Fair trade is a good deal for the farmers, because it
reduces poverty. This allows the farmers to invest in
their own futures, as well as that of their children.”
