You might be wondering: why Big Z and not Big R, like Raclette? After all, that’s the star ingredient! The answer is simple: this burger pays tribute to Zermatt, the legendary mountain village at the foot of the Matterhorn. The “Z” stands for the Alps, skiing, wooden chalets, and that unmistakable winter atmosphere. And between us… admit it, Big Z just sounds way cooler than Big R 😉

Now, let’s talk about that raclette — you can’t miss it. In the Big Z, it melts over 100% Swiss beef, joined by cured local meat, crisp lettuce, and a fluffy brioche bun baked fresh every morning by regional bakers. And it’s not just any raclette: it comes from the Piller cheese dairy in Semsales, renowned for its craftsmanship and top-quality products. It’s pure authenticity and indulgence — the taste of winter and the warmth of shared meals after a day on the slopes.

Because the Big Z isn’t just a burger — it’s a whole mood. Think snowy runs and ski descents, cold noses and cozy chalets, hands wrapped around mulled wine, and flavors that bring comfort.

But careful now — like every great ski season, the Big Z doesn’t last forever. You can enjoy it from November 1st to December 31st in all Holy Cow! restaurants. After that, it’ll melt away like snow in spring… until it returns again next winter.

So this season, no need to head to Zermatt or dust off your raclette machine — just come to Holy Cow! and let the Big Z work its magic. Try it soon, before it heads back to the peaks! 🏔️❄️

For the second edition, we decided to step up our game with an extra challenge (we admit, we felt a bit like we were on Top Chef): create a burger that showcases the famous Swiss cheese – Vacherin Fribourgeois AOP, beloved by fondue fans.

After a thorough tasting in Fribourg by a tough jury, including four members from the Interprofession du Vacherin Fribourgeois, the team from Sion took home first place. Their bold creation was closely followed by the Geneva Plainpalais team, last year’s champions who impressed us with their famous Colonel Moutarde.

The Valais team set a clear and ambitious goal: craft a burger that would win over everyone – from the most discerning palates to everyday burger lovers. They nailed it with a recipe that satisfied all tastes.

Introducing: the Röstigraben. Featuring homemade garlic aioli sauce, a crispy rösti patty, two slices of melted Vacherin Fribourgeois AOP, and a 100% Swiss beef patty, this burger is a delicious tribute to Swiss culinary diversity.

This new promotional burger transcends cultural and linguistic boundaries, uniting burger lovers across the country and celebrating our beloved Switzerland. The Röstigraben isn’t just a burger; it’s a symbol of unity and a reminder that, despite our differences, we all share a love for great food.

Head to any of our restaurants now to try this exclusive burger and enjoy a tasty trip through Swiss ingredients and flavours. Bon appétit!

This year marks the 15th anniversary of your favorite burger brand! We couldn’t let this significant milestone pass without expressing a huge THANK YOU for your unwavering loyalty and for continuing to follow us on this culinary adventure.

Let’s take a trip down memory lane to 2009 in Lausanne. Richard, the founder, decided to flip the burger game upside down, never imagining that 15 years later, we would be a household name all over the country. No Instagram stories or TikTok videos back then (yes, Gen Z, we were here before all that), but word got around like wildfire.

The mission was simple: revolutionize the burger scene by serving up fresh, local goodness in record time. Inspired by a mix of Anglo-Saxon vibes, South Park, and Ben & Jerry’s, that’s how Holy Cow! found its groove on the streets of Lausanne.

Fast forward a few months, and we had to upgrade to a bigger spot to accommodate all the burger aficionados. As Holy Cow! became a hit in French-speaking Switzerland, conquering Zurich was the obvious next step.

Today, we have 16 restaurants across Switzerland, and guess what? This Holy Cow! journey is just getting started. We’ve got big plans, stomachs full of ideas, and a fan community that keeps growing.  We will continue to spread our love for gourmet burgers cooked with passion throughout the country. Always true to our roots, our teams are working hard to serve you burgers made from fresh and local ingredients in record time.

To celebrate this epic 15-year milestone, we’ve got a crazy deal for you throughout our 15th year: a CHF 15.00 menu every 15th of the month at participating joints (yep, you read that right). So whether you’ve been riding with us since day one or just hopped on the Holy Cow! train, this is our way of saying thanks for being part of the adventure.

Here’s to the next 15, and massive thanks for sticking around!

The creation of this new recipe sprouted during a mouthwatering competition among all our restaurants, where creative minds vied to offer you our brand-new promotional burger – and undoubtedly the best one!

This competition is part of the Burger Love initiative, a support fund created by Richard, the founder of Holy Cow! Burger Love showcases our commitment to supporting local charities and causes. Each time you savor one of our sensational promotional burgers, you’re directly contributing to the invaluable Burger Love fund.

For the first edition of this culinary contest, it was the recipe crafted by the team at the Geneva Plainpalais restaurant – currently under renovation – that managed to capture the hearts and taste buds of a discerning jury during a blind tasting.

Made with 100% Swiss beef and crispy bacon, adding an irresistible gourmet touch, it’s primarily the deliciously melting Tomme vaudoise cheese and the homemade honey mustard sauce that make it an unmissable burger. Carefully and creatively concocted by the winning team, the honey mustard sauce offers a perfect balance between sweetness and acidity. Indulgent and irresistible, don’t feel guilty enjoying it!

So, put on your detective hat, prepare your taste buds for an enigmatic adventure, and head to our restaurants to devour the mysteries of this creation in a single bite!
