Posh

Centrally located at central train station. Front looks super posh; go to 3rd floor, not actual roof which would be 5th. All food extremely well labeled: garlic, onions, milk... Very friendly staff. Don't overindulge in dessert, it is quite filling. Huge lemonades, ask for non-ice version and it is even more lemonade. Very good (!) alcohol-free IPA beer. Food will be prepared freshly all day. All types of people as customers. Large space.

Pros: Large space, central location, friendly, very good labeling

Cons: As always in Switzerland: expensive if you compare

SO many options & great atmosphere

I put one scoop of approximately 30 things on my plate because it all looked (and ended up tasting) so delicious! If you're a veg visiting Zürich, this is a MUST go. Now if you live there, it's probably a treat only because prices were pretty darn high. But SO worth it every now and then.

Pros: Variety, Atmosphere, Signage for Vegan vs. Vegetarian

Cons: Cost

Magische Momente und köstliche Überraschungen✨

Es war ein wahrhaft magischer Moment. Mitten in unserem tiefen Gespräch mit meiner Freundin hat uns der Kellner unerwartet mit Kuchen überrascht, genau in dem Augenblick, als es am passendsten war. Vorher hatten wir etwas anderes bestellt, das auch sehr lecker war. Danke sehr ☺️

Charming

On a pretty terrace close to the main station. Food is more subtle than other veggie buffets I have tried. Vegan dishes clearly marked. Some Swiss options like stew with cream sauce and macaroni noodles. Definitely worth a visit.

Pros: Sophisticated atmosphere, Easy to understand system, Good quality

Cons: A little pricey, Could maybe be more vegan versions

Great and varied food and lovely rooftop

Had a buffer style brunch, nice selection and varied cuisines. Rooftop terrace is nice, although it doesnt have a view. Giving 4 stars just because food quality is somewhat lower due to the buffet style, and prices are high (for someone from outside Switzerland..)

Incredible food - so much variety!

This location is on the top floor of a beautiful glass building with many shops. The clear elevator is fun to ride, not scary. If you sit near the outside, you have a view of the city.

Go when you're very hungry! You'll want to try literally everything. If you have a group of some vegans and some vegetarians that love cheese, everyone will leave happy.

I loved everything I tried. The panang curry, carrots, and red lentils were some of my favorites. The orange pistachio vegan ice cream was OK, but not amazing.

You pay per pound, and it's expensive. But worth the price for such high quality, fresh food.

Pros: Gluten-free and vegan items marked, They have everything you can imagine, Staff speak perfect English & answer questions

Cons: Vegan ice cream was so-so

High quality vegetarian food with lots of vegan options

My first visit at Hiltl and man was i impressed!

Modern, clean, bright, lovely food!

Concept is buffet style and payed by weight including self-service

Offerings from daily soup, salad, starters, main dishes and desserts. And everything on a high quality and well prepared level.

Food styles ranging from traditional german / swiss food, to asian styles.

Super yummy, well and precisely seasoned!

Everything freshly made by the team.

Nice and modern interior with targetting all kinds of guests from various ages.

Easily a top recommendation in swiss in general.

A bit pricy - but it is the swiss 😋

Pros: Well prepared , Perfect balanced flavour, Broad vegan selection

Cons: Bit pricy (of course it swiss)

So many lovely dishes to choose

So much to choose from, and so many great dishes, on this veggie buffet! Definitely recommended. It's Zurich prices, and one drawback is that here you pay by weight, so it's hard to guess in advance how much it'll cost. On the other hand, you can choose your own portion size! Everything I sampled was super tasty. Except the chässspatzli, which is funny as it's a local speciality ;)

High quality buffet with good variety

Vegetarian with vegan options clearly labelled - there are enough very good vegan options. The choices are varied (several Asian curries, German/Swiss dishes, salads etc). Several desserts.

It was a shame that the food is all on one plate, making it hard to try several different items without them all running into one on your plate!

Great and fancy buffet

Very good food, lots of vegan options in otherwise vegetarian restaurant. Lots of vegan desserts too! Friendly staff, even though we rushed in near closing time. Even though it is a buffet the food is great and the restaurant has nice, fancy atmosphere.

Veg buffet on top

I‘ve been there several times and I love it! I‘d say it‘s one of the most famous vegan/vegetarian restaurants because it has several locations and because it has existed since 1898!
I love that it has a buffet where you can choose from everything (most of it is vegan) and it‘s super delicious! Here, the buffet is a bit smaller than on the other location. Even though it can get a bit pricey when you‘re hungry I can really recommend a visit there!
My favourites are the „Züri Gschnätzlets“ and „Ghackets mit Hörnli“. And I love that they offer free water to drink.
It‘s cool that you can sit on the Dachterrasse but the view isn‘t that nice.

Great choice

Vegetarian buffet restaurant where you pay by weight. There are many vegan options, as well als vegan desserts. The homemade lemonades are delicious!

The terrace is also very nice to sit, relaxing and nobody is rushing you out.

Cons: Many smokers on the terrace

Great roof restaurant

We got some coffee and cookie here. It’s possible to get also warm brunchl/lunch/breakfast and drinks. You can choose from the plates of the middle of the room. The roof part is beautiful but also the restaurant looks cute. The staff is friendly and professional and the coffee is great. I loved especially the chocolate chips inside of the cookie.

The restaurant os close to the train station. You need to take an elevator to the restaurant, cause it is upstairs.

Card accepted.

Pros: Vegan coffee and food, Clearly labeled , Beautiful terrace

Cons: Expensive (but common for Zürich)

Excellent food and drinks

We came for lunch to this branch of Hiltl on the 3rd floor of a building in the heart of Zurich.

Inside and outside seating possibilities with many guests.

All service personnel was very friendly and helpful.

Plenty of vegan and vegetarian options to choose from, hot and cold, starters and desserts.

Everything tasted excellent and has to be paid by weight.

Hiltl - as good as ever

Vegetarian restaurant at the top of the building, outdoor/open terrace on both sides of the restaurant, with a good selection of hot and cold dishes. Self-service: pay by weight of the food you put onto your plate. Always a pleasure to visit Hiltl again!

Pros: Vegetarian and vegan only

Cons: A bit expensive (but everything is here vs. UK)
