Pascal Schmutz Reveals a Decadent 2025 Christmas Menu in Zurich

Pascal Schmutz has unveiled his Christmas menu for 2025, offering a lavish selection of seasonal dishes. The renowned chef, whose career spans from Zurich to global culinary projects, will present a multi-course feast featuring everything from lobster starters to truffle-infused desserts.

The menu begins with a starter of lobster paired with avocado and rouille sauce. Another option includes cured Arctic char served on brioche, alongside a sauerkraut and prosciutto tartlet.

For the soup course, guests can enjoy a Chardonnay-mushroom velouté topped with marinated whitefish. The main courses offer two rich choices: sunchoke and egg ravioli in a celery *beurre blanc* with truffle, or slow-cooked beef short ribs in a *bordelaise* sauce. To finish, diners will be served a dessert of truffle brie accompanied by fruit-and-nut bread. Schmutz first gained recognition after opening *Schmutz's* in Zurich in 2010, earning a Michelin Bib Gourmand within two years. His career accelerated with three Michelin stars at *Schmutz's Fine Dining* in Geneva by 2018. Since then, he has led high-profile ventures, from Tokyo's *Alpine Essence* pop-up to *Les Alpes* in New York. In 2025, he continues to expand his influence with the *Schmutz Global* residency series in Dubai and Singapore. Currently, he also oversees *Chefs Table* at Mews House in Zurich.

The 2025 Christmas menu reflects Schmutz's signature blend of luxury and innovation. Each dish highlights seasonal ingredients with refined techniques, reinforcing his reputation as a leading figure in global fine dining. The menu will be available exclusively at Chefs Table in Zurich.
