Yelp Review 2026 #64:…read more I'm not vegetarian and definitely not vegan. But I will dabble with the veg from time to time. Hiltl is popular for being the world's oldest vegetarian restaurant in the world. Here's information I will share that I wish was available before planning to come here. You must make a reservation for lunch/ dinner because that's when they're busy. Breakfast is for walk-ins and they don't do reservations. Hop on their website and be sure you're on the right location because they have several within a 2-mile radius...some on the same street. I went here to try their breakfast buffet. I wasn't sure how busy they got for breakfast so, I got here at 6:30am because I got the wrong information online! They open at 7am. Different locations have different hours. Check their website for actual hours and don't trust review site information because it's wrong! They're not busy for breakfast at all. There's 2 ways to do their buffet. You can pay a fixed price and fill your plate multiple times or go and fill your plate once and pay based on the weight of your food - you get free bread. I did the pay-by-weight option. I have a whole day of eating planned so, I wasn't about to fill up for breakfast. When they opened at 7am, they were still putting the food out one by one. By 7:20, all the food was out which was fine. I was in no rush. The spread includes fresh fruits, cheeses, butter, margarine, cheesecake, chocolate mousse, mango mousse, mango chia pudding, banana chocolate brownie crumble, a pear dessert (with cream, vanilla and orange), rosti, scrambled eggs, potato salad, tomato and mozzarella salad, beets, chickpeas, olives, couscous, corn salad, olives, asparagus, green peas, feta cheese, hardboiled eggs, curry salad, dolmades, broccoli and edamame, artichoke salad, bulgur salad, tabbouleh, orecchiette tofu salad, Thai salad, hummus, guacamole, muhammara, etc. They have 6 types of bread. Slice a piece and toast it yourself. Vegan and vegetarian food tend to taste strongly of coconut/ coconut milk and I don't like that. My favorites from the buffet include chocolate mousse, mango mousse, banana chocolate brownie crumble, dolmades, asparagus, orecchiette tofu salad, and Thai salad. I got a mango lassi to drink which I didn't like. It had curry powder. Service was pleasant. The restaurant was clean.

Haus Hiltl has been serving vegetarian food since 1898 and that makes it the oldest vegetarian…read morerestaurant in the world. 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.

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

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!

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.

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. :)

"I'll eat takeout food by the river any day."…read more Our offices were by the food courts by the river and we went to this food court to save time and grab a quick bite for lunch. We decided to eat at Vapiano, it was pretty busy and the wait was longish. I decided to get a Poke Bowl with cooked salmon in soy sauce and assorted sides : edamame, avocado, wakame salad and mango topped with red bird eye chili in a bed of quinoa (€ 25,50) - I can't get over how expensive food in Zurich is -- 30 bucks for a food court meal !!! I did like my Poke Bowl - it was solid - light, fresh and pretty delicious BUT pricey and didn't blow my mind. What made the meal "priceless" for me is sitting by the river and eating the meal with colleagues. Gave me some time to de-stress after long meetings and being stuck inside the office. Will I eat here again - absolutely for the convenience of location and the huge selection -- I would still struggle with a sticker shock on food prices.

You get a card as you walk in and scan all your purchases (salad, pizza, pasta, drinks, dessert) as you choose. For pizza orders, they give you a pager to notify you when it's ready. Cozy seats with a fireplace upstairs and a nice view to Sihlcity shopping center. The whole-wheat pasta is also really good. Reasonable prices for Zürich, and I like how they have a little bowl of mini gummy bears on the way out. :)
