Imagine telling someone in the 1800s, one day people will voluntarily eat tofu and then proving them wrong for over a century. The buffet system is dangerous because you pile it high, weigh it, and dig in. Honestly a fantastic concept. Great location near the train station too, which is helpful because you may need immediate transportation after accidentally eating your body weight in all the options.

It's huge although my friend and I did have reservations since we had a limited time in Zurich. The ambiance was great. It's better spaced compared to other places in Zurich. They have a buffet option but my friend and I weren't hungry enough and just shared some other food. I got the Indian thali and my friend got the rosti. Everything was great, especially the Indian thali.

Food options are plentiful. This is a gem as far as airport food goes…read more It's Switzerland so of course everything costs more but there are options that are good value for money. My chicken soup (Asian-style) was flavorful. This is just a small size that I got. For this workstation, they have the soup where you can pick either small or large and also select if you just want chicken, or tofu or prawns or a combination. There are vegetables as well. They also have veggie or chicken curry over rice. My husband got the mozzarella tomato basil (caprese) sandwich. You can also watch he chefs make rosti (potato dish similar to Spanish torta), cinnamon rolls and other stuff. They have a salad station, coffee, snacks and dessert station, among other things. There is a good sized seating area too. I also appreciated that the employees seem to be having some fun when it's not too busy.

Excellent food, coffee and service. I will definitely dine here my next visit. Thank you for…read moreeverything!

Nice place to eat with children and a family group. I have never been a fan of vegetarian…read morerestaurantsm but this place, which our daughter--in-law chose asa result of a previous trip to Zurich,overcame my skepticism. The place is located on the third-floor of a department store, to which we ascended ina nclear elevator (a hit with the kids!) At first it looked as if we would have to sit on an enclosed outer deck, about which I was unenthusiastic because it was chilly, but while we were standing online to pay for food some inside tables opened up and I grabbed them All fodf is available buffet style, including mainstream Swiss dishes plus an assortment south Asian and middle eastern dishes. Lots of good choice, plus a number of dessert, I was plenty full by the time I left. Would be glad to come back to try again

This place, compared to other Quartiertreff spots around town, is really cosy with nicely decorated…read morewith flower arrangements & art on the walls. One feels quite comfortable here. Mums and their brood are often found having a sit-down and chin-wag within the walls of the place. I visit now and again when there are clothing 'exchanges' and holiday craft fairs housed on the first floor. Courses of various description are also to be had here. There is always a roster of events posted on a sandwich board on the pavement out front letting one know what's on at the Treff. You can't miss it. They also serve food, during the nicer months, in a side garden that over looks a field with grazing sheep. It's a very idyllic scene. Best of all, the kitchen is open Sundays and, if I'm not mistaken, serves until five pm. My only quibble with Q.H. is that the coffee is barely palatable. Wash it down with a pastry and it's less unsavory. :) The place is, after all, very visually inviting.

I came here yesterday for a cupcake decorating class with Ribizli Sweetertainment. We were located…read morein the Green Room on the 1st floor. This building is right off the Burgwies stop along the Tram 11 line. When I first saw it, I thought it looked kind of like a barn. Not that I've ever seen a real barn up close, but I suppose this would be what I would consider what a barn looks like. ;) REALLY old building made of wood planks with uneven walls and floorboards that creaked when you walked on them. Kind of homey and cozy, painted in an assortment of colors, and I suppose a perfect setting for a cupcake decorating class. Outside our room, there was a coat rack to hang up our coats and a sink for easy hand washing. The toilets were actually downstairs, and it was nice to note that the restrooms and sinks were modernized. :)

OMG--I absolutely love Vapiano…read more This ended up being the perfect lunch spot while we were staying nearby in Zurich at the Home hotel. Super convenient location, and exactly what you want when you're looking for something fresh, quick, and satisfying. The setup is casual and cafeteria-style, but in the best way--lots of great options like pizzas, salads, and sandwiches, all made fresh right in front of you. It's easy, efficient, and actually kind of fun to walk through and pick exactly what you're in the mood for. I went with the fungi pizza and a salad, and both were absolutely delicious. The pizza was perfectly cooked with great flavor, and the salad was crisp and super fresh--exactly what I was hoping for. We grabbed a table outside and enjoyed everything alfresco, which made the whole experience even better. Great vibe, relaxed atmosphere, and perfect for people-watching while you eat. Service was quick, prices were very reasonable (especially for Zurich), and the quality really exceeded expectations for a casual spot. Would 100% come back--highly recommend if you're in Zurich and want an easy, tasty, feel-good meal.

Odd set up, but it's pretty popular!…read more As you walk in someone hands you a credit card type thing and you proceed to hand that card to the various different sections and order your food. You're handed a buzzer and off you go to find your own table (it's a free for all). When your buzzer goes off you proceed to go get your food and then you eat. No table service, no nothing. You pay on your way out, and of course they ask you for a tip... they literally did nothing! You already are paying for the food! The food - both my daughter and I had pizza. It was ok, I mean it's pizza... only two beers to choose from, a Pilsner on tap and bottled wheat beer. Again, very busy place, so clearly the locals seem to like it. Would I return? Doubtful, but you be the judge... Prost!
