What is it that just landed in the village of Saanen? Did it come from another planet? From Italy? Thailand? From planet Takeout maybe? Far out? You bet! It’s the Boucherie (English: Butcher Shop), which just happens to be the latest (g)astronomical project launched here by those perpetual-motion brothers, Simon and Nik Buchs.
On December 6, 2014, in the renovated historic Bircher House in Saanen’s pedestrian shopping zone, a grocery store of another kind opened its doors: besides lots of cheeses and meat (Boucherie!) you can stock up here on select vintages like the Cornarea Roero Arneis or a Serge Roh with just a hint of sweetness…
You should really let Serge accompany you when you go for the Boucherie’s third discipline: authentically spicy Thai food. Sweet Serge is the perfect match for it!
However spicy hot you like them, the tasty Thai dishes prepared by distaff Thai cook Tan are also available for takeout. It just takes a phone call, you put in the order and, before picking up the “hot merchandise,” you may want to retire to the Mediterranean ambiance of this new food paradise for an aperitif…
Just one more attraction in the Bernese Highlands!
Whoa, can blogging really get any better than this?
Hope you, too, have fun shopping and indulging ;-)
