Lunches at Florimont
School lunches are provided by our catering provider Novae, with five cooks working under head chef Alexandre Etienne.
The team prepares over 1,400 meals a day to the highest standards of hygiene and quality. Menus are planned with a dietician to ensure they are nutritionally balanced and comply with the ‘Fourchette Verte’ healthy eating label. A vegetarian option is available every day.
A standard menu consists of:
Protein-rich foods
A choice of meat, chicken, fish, shellfish, eggs, tofu, cheese, beans and pulses. Fish is offered twice a week.
Vegetables or fruit
A choice of salad, cooked vegetables, raw or cooked fruit and soup.
Starchy food
A choice of potatoes, pasta, rice, corn, couscous, lentils, chick peas, other cereals and bread, preferably wholegrain.
Dessert
Usually raw or cooked fruit or a dairy-based dessert.
Drink
Water is freely available.
Novae and Florimont
Novae and Florimont favour produce that is fresh, seasonal, locally sourced, organic and ecolabelled.
Food traceability is very important to us. Most products come from Geneva (Genève Région Terre Avenir label), Switzerland or the EU (e.g. marine fish). The cleaning products used in school are EU eco-label approved.
Institut Florimont cannot cater for special dietary requirements and cannot guarantee that food is free of allergens. Children with special dietary requirements are asked to bring their own lunch which can be reheated in our kitchen.
