Sauce Bearnaise - the weapon of choice for all lovers of steak - has actually no connection to the Swiss capital. Often called the Child of the Hollandaise Sauce, one of the five `mother sauces´ of French cuisine it has been refined and made world famous by French chef August Escoffier in the 19th century. It is actually named after the French region of Béarn even though it wasn´t invented there, either. So, we reckon we may just enjoy our food after a stroll around the capital of Switzerland - which again is not so much a capital as it´s first city.
