Baba is Gül’s heartbeat. He welcomes every guest with a wink, a story, and effortless charm. By 8:45 pm, his ritual kicks in: two çiğ köfte and a sip of Raki, every batch Baba-approved. In summer, he turns gardener-magician: zucchinis from another planet, beans that snap with joy, raisins sweet enough to make you swoon. Baba doesn’t just run the house — he orchestrates it, serving heart, flavour, and a touch of magic in every bite. When he’s not at Gül, you’ll find him enjoying Käse Spätzle at ROSI, chatting with his favourite Bavarian, Markus. As Baba likes to say: “A çiğ köfte a day keeps the doctor away.”

Kathrin’s roots are firmly grounded in the world of hospitality, having grown up in a family-run hotel business. Her career took her through several exciting stations in Berlin and London, before she set her sights on Dubai, where she worked at the iconic Burj Khalifa. After earning her degree from Hotelfachschule Zürich, Kathrin joined our team as Assistant Manager, quickly advancing to Operational Manager, and is now the Managing Director of Gül and Rosi. Her remarkable energy and warm spirit make everyone—whether guest or team member—feel instantly at home. In true family tradition, Kathrin is considered more than a colleague; as the mother of Köfte and Babas says with a smile, “Kathrin is like my third daughter.”

Köfte, the cutest member of our core team, has already claimed his irreplaceable spot. With a charming gaze and an attitude as cool as a cucumber, he brings a smile to everyone’s face. He calls Kathrin his Mum, but the whole team is his pack, and he’s at the heart of it all

With a Master’s degree in Economics from the University of Zurich, Chöying’s path into gastronomy was anything but conventional. In 2015, she moved to Paris and embarked on a exciting journey as a self-taught chef, navigating the city’s vibrant kitchens.

Returning to Zurich in 2020, she joined Gül’s kitchen, steadily honing her skills and taking on increasing responsibilities. Rising to Sous Chef and then stepping into the management team in 2024, Chöying brings together both practical know-how and a considered, reflective way of working. As Elif puts it: “Where the gut and the brain become one.”
