Our Mission
Wild Bowls is Switzerland’s first plant-based superfood bar/café specialising in delicious and healthy açaí & smoothie bowls, lunch bowls, smoothies and more. Wild Bowls is our way of sharing our love and passion for natural, healthy and delicious plant-based food that is not only good for your body, but also casts a vote for a better world at large. We want to inspire people to lead a healthy lifestyle because we believe that a healthy diet and active lifestyle are the foundation for a long, happy and vital life. We want to spread good vibes wherever we go and, perhaps most importantly, we are here to serve you the tastiest, wildest and most nutritious bowls so that we can see more happy and healthy people who are full of energy and life – one bowl at a time.
IT’S TIME TO GO WILD !
Our promise
Rather than just calling it healthy, our promise is that our food should leave you feeling better than when you started. A nutritious breakfast, a balanced lunch or a quick and healthy snack – our food will leave you feeling refreshed, energised, light yet full and ready to take on the day, rather than the familiar post-meal feeling of fatigue. Our recipes are designed to maximise nutritional value to help you thrive.
Our engagement
From sourcing wild açaí berries, which protects the rainforest from deforestation, to sourcing mostly organic produce, to using only 100% biodegradable packaging, and of course offering an entirely plant-based menu, we strive to implement a sustainable business model and minimise our impact on the planet wherever we can. We are not perfect, but we do care about preserving our beautiful environment and are committed to introducing new environmental initiatives and strategies to further reduce our footprint.
Meet the founders
Dennis Wild
As a former aspiring professional ice hockey player, Dennis became passionate about healthy eating at an early age. He discovered that a healthy, wholesome and plant-based diet can make a huge difference not only in sports but also in everyday life. He was introduced to Açaí Bowls on a surf trip to Hawaii. It was love at first bite – the perfect, delicious and refreshing meal before or after a surf session – it fills you up, does not weigh you down and gives you the energy and nutrition you need to thrive. With a business degree in marketing and management and several years of valuable work experience with renowned international companies, his goal is to grow Wild Bowls into an internationally recognised brand and provide more people with easier access to real, healthy, natural and uncompromised food.
Fernando Leonhardt
Fernando (aka El Patron) was born in the USA, has Guatemalan roots and is an avid motocross racer. As a passionate cook, restaurant and hotel manager with over ten years of experience in fine dining, it has long been Fernando’s goal to one day build a healthy and sustainable restaurant concept that is shaped by his experience and skills as a chef. A place where he would like to eat every day. With Wild Bowls he can now fulfill his purpose. His main goal is to positively influence the lives of thousands of people with his innovative, tasty and healthy recipes.
What is Açaí?
Açaí is a bright purple berry that grows wild on over 6.1 million acres of the Amazon Rainforest and is one of the most abundant naturally occurring food in the world. Açaí is renowned for its high concentration of antioxidants, heart-healthy omega fatty acids and energy benefitting properties. The berry has become a key ingredient to the success of many of the world’s greatest athletes and fitness enthusiasts.
Acai & sustainability
Hand harvested by thousands of local families in the rich swamplands of the Amazon, wild Açaí agroforestry is a lifeline that creates economic and environmental benefit, providing incomes for thousands of Brazilians and keeping massive areas of the Amazonian rainforest standing.
By eating our organic certified and wild grown açaí, you automatically help protecting the rainforest.
