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.

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

Vegan Buffet: Was the suggestion of co-workers, not my choice. Though I wanted to like this place since I do like the vegan agenda, but just couldn't get into it. And I did try a bunch of items to be fair. Nothing really stuck out to me. And a lot of the dishes tasted similar to each other.

I just needed a…read morecaffeine fix so I got a cappuccino and the girl at the front convinced me to get a chocolate filled croissant with it. The croissant was good but the texture was off as it was slightly undercooked. The cappuccino was fine but it was very milky and I didn't get the flavor of the cappuccino like in Italy and France. The place itself is clean and the service is quick but you are paying far more than what is reasonable since my cappuccino and croissant came to 9.00 CHF or about $10 USD. If you're in desperate need of caffeine this place does the job and that's about it.

Friendly waitress explained me food + drinks offer and I was glad because it was my first visit. Food from buffet was really yum! Ginger beer is alcohol free but worth to try! It tastes good + special! At the end I enjoyed delicious peach muffin with fruit sauce dessert. Price is averaged and I'd like to emphasize SamSes high quality food! (Price CHF 4.20/100 gram - for to go: 3.70/100 gram) How to get to restaurant: I took streetcar number 13 from Bahnhofstrasse via Zurich main station and went out at Limmatplatz stop. I just needed to walk a few minutes left towards Langstrasse and that's it. There are also other transport choices too for example streetcar number 4 etc.

They offer a lot of different dishes with good flavor and also many ingredients that we have never tried before.

There is no wait staff in the buffet area because you visit the buffet and then weigh your plate to calculate the cost. Someone clears tables but I didn't notice them. The food is very good and marked for allergies. A major feature for us was the clarity regarding gluten content. Flip the label and you see an English description. Nice touch! I thought it was slightly expensive but I tried a lot of dishes and my plate was full (and heavy). Comparing: Red in Heidelberg and Tibits in Zurich are both casual, delicious, and have lower prices. Hiltl is upscale with great variety and professional staff but the price matches the experience and quality.

However, we were a bit disappointed in the taste of the food. We'd tried 2 other self-serve buffet-style plant-based places in Zurich and Lucerne and were very impressed, so maybe we went in with high expectations. The selection is smaller than the other restaurants we tried, and the dishes just didn't have my preferred textures and flavors. The dishes certainly seemed healthier since there was basically no fried food, but the protein they used (tofu, seitan, etc) didn't quite hit the spot. They only had a tiramisu for dessert which had a strange aftertaste. I think it is still a decent vegan option in Zurich, and prices were comparable. Maybe the experience depends on personal preferences, but I personally wouldn't feel like going again unless in a pinch. They do have a nice little store area with vegan products and a wonderful variety of gelato/sorbet flavors. I did really enjoy the passion fruit and stracciatella gelato! They had a new dragonfruit flavor that was good but tasted like cotton candy rather than dragon fruit. The staff were friendly, and the restaurant itself is beautiful and has plenty of seating!

Being a buffet, the service is pretty minimal, but the team was helpful intro-ing my partner and I to the setup, as well as settling up at the end. While buffet meals tend to get a little blurry in my recollection, some of my favourite options in the trays were the indian style dishes, as well as the more fermented foods. If I hadn't filled up on the buffet, I would have really liked to try their gelato. If it's a warm day, leave room for dessert! As all places in Zurich, it is very pricey but if you've already had a couple meals elsewhere it perhaps won't be as much of a sticker shock.
