We’ve just opened our newest Negishi Sushi Bar – right at Stadelhofen train station. 🎉 The interior draws inspiration from the wild Paris of the 1960s, with velvet seating, retro décor and playful details. 🪩 From classic sushi rolls to creative specials and varied bento boxes, there’s something to suit every time of day. 🍣🥢 Whether dining in, relaxing on the courtyard terrace or choosing take-away or delivery – everything’s possible.
A place with special history: Right next door, over 25 years ago, we opened the Outback Lodge – our very first restaurant. A location full of memories, now entering a new chapter with the Negishi Sushi Bar. ✨
On June 3, it was that time again: we had the pleasure of welcoming over 50 new team members at our Welcome Day. 🎉
The day offered the perfect opportunity to get to know the FWG better, connect with others, ask questions ❓ and enjoy a great time together with colleagues from different locations. 🤝 From internal communication and payroll to training opportunities and our ambassador programmes – our new team members received all the key info to start their journey with us. 📚
And of course, we wrapped up the day with a delicious apéro. 🥂 We’re excited to kick off this new chapter together and look forward to a successful journey ahead!
Yesterday, we had the pleasure of donating CHF 16,500 to the IPT Foundation.
The foundation supports people who face major hurdles returning to the job market after losing their employment – often due to health issues, limited education or language barriers. IPT offers hands-on, personalised support to help them build lasting perspectives.
A big thank-you to all our guests: your Charity Meal purchases made this donation possible. Together, we’re creating real opportunities.
Sustainability you can taste – and that actually makes a difference
We’re proud to be among the companies that made a significant contribution to CO₂ reduction last year by using Planted products. Here’s what we achieved:
💨 27,482 kg of CO₂ saved 🐥 2,946 chicken lives spared
Yesterday, we had the pleasure of receiving our official recognition from Planted – a great confirmation of how well flavour and responsibility can go hand in hand.
A big thank-you to Planted for the great partnership, to our FWG team for their tireless commitment – and of course to our guests, who make sustainable enjoyment possible. Together, we’re shaping the future of gastronomy. 🌱
Starting April 1, 2025, our restaurants will be raising funds for the Foundation Schweizerische Schule für Blindenführhunde. The foundation empowers people with disabilities by providing carefully trained dogs that offer greater independence and quality of life.
For every charity dish sold the FWG-Foundation will automatically donate CHF 1.- to the Foundation Schweizerische Schule für Blindenführhunde. ❤️
We’re truly grateful for this recognition! Our goal? To rethink the traditional job reference. No more vague phrases or hidden codes – but clear, honest and forward-looking feedback that actually helps people grow. For more transparency, real appreciation, and better guidance in the next career step.
A big thank-you to everyone who made this possible – for the support, the ideas and the shared vision.
