Once upon a time…
Auntie Marie
In order for us to tell the story of our deli in its entirety, we must travel back in time, to the moment where our hotel, the Mirabeau, was founded. The hotel was built in 1975 by our grandfather, Meinrad Julen, and has since been taken over by the second generation Sepp & Rose Julen, and now also by the third generation Marie & Francis Reichenbach. Our grandpa Meinrad had seven siblings, whereof one was named Maria Julen. Auntie Marie remained single and being the self-reliant woman that she was, opened her won business - a risky venture for an unwed woman at the time. Her comestible shop (see picture above) was the first of its kind in Zermatt and in the region. She sold luxury fine food products, "tourist provisions" and exotic fruits, therefrom her nickname "Frichte Mari", the word "Frichte" meaning "fruit" in the Zermatt dialect.
Today, approximately 50 years later, we had the idea of opening a comestible shop in combination with a restaurant concept - and what better name could ew have found as "Marie's Deli"? The name pays homage to our auntie Marie, to her girl power and innovation, and to the good old days, where hearty, homemade food was cherished, and fresh produce was considered a luxury good.
