BBQ Catering · Zurich & German-speaking Switzerland
Real barbecue from the smoker, grill specialities and fusion BBQ between Texas, Buenos Aires and Tokyo. Prepared by grill masters and top chefs for unforgettable events.
Our Roots
It all begins with fire, wood and patience. We haven’t reinvented the barbecue – we’ve taken it further: with the precision of fine dining, techniques from three continents, and a commitment that every bite tells a story.
Gourmer BBQ
Real Barbecue
Brisket, pulled pork, spare ribs and beef short ribs are smoked for up to 18 hours at a steady 110 °C with beech and hickory wood. The result: a deep-black bark, a rosy smoke ring, and meat that falls apart under your fork.
Homemade rubs of pepper, salt, paprika and secret ingredients left to infuse overnight.
Wood fire in the offset smoker, tended round the clock. Smoke as an ingredient, never just for effect.
Let rest in butcher paper and carve live in front of guests against the grain.
Grill Specialities
Direct heat, perfect searing. Our grill masters use charcoal, wood and cast iron to bring every piece to perfection.

“Fire is the oldest kitchen in the world. We treat it with the respect it deserves.”
The Gourmer sausage concept
proprietary recipes
Together with our butchers, we’ve developed around 60 sausage recipes – from classic bratwurst to spicy chorizo and truffle veal sausages. For every event we create a unique selection tailored to season, theme and guests.
Fusion Barbecue
Buffet, sides & sauces
A great barbecue is not just about the fire. Over 100 of our own salad recipes from around the world, sides, grilled vegetables, homemade dressings, sauces and flavoured butters – all developed and tested in-house. From this we create your bespoke buffet.
Cool, unique, extraordinary salads: around the barbecue, but also from Asia, the Mediterranean and the Orient. Usually served as a large salad buffet, combined with carbs and grilled vegetables.
From Som Tam and kimchi slaw to ezme, fattoush, panzanella and horiatiki. Every buffet receives a selection tailored to it.
Various types of rice, gratin, rosemary roast potatoes, smashed and baked potatoes.
Exotic to classic: cherry tomato, raspberry, French, the best Caesar and many more.
Courgette, peppers, aubergines, corn on the cob, asparagus, portobello mushrooms and halloumi with perfect chargrilled flavours.
For grilled meats and sausages: BBQ sauces, a range of mustards, mayos and ketchups, all homemade.
From Arabic to Italian compound, to the classic Café de Paris—melting on a hot steak.
Special small party rolls and large loaves, sliced on site.
