Vegan (pay by weight) heaven! - Edit
Wow what a selection of vegan goodies - from stews, soups, curries, bakes to salads and things you haven't even thought about! Was a bit overwhelmed so naturally ended up trying a bit of everything (which I can only recommend if you are willing to spend a fair amount of money on eating there). Everything tasted amazing though and I'd go again in an instant (maybe for the better this restaurant is not around the corner). The restaurant itself is super nice as well, cool vibe and comfortable seats to hang out a bit longer😄

Amazing selection of vegan food - Edit
There were so many choices that I was almost overwhelmed but everything I tried was phenomenal! I found it a little bit disconcerting that I ate almost a half pound of dessert. 😂 It was fairly expensive but a good value for the variety and amount of food.

Beautiful spot! - Edit
I love this restaurant! The buffet has a large selection of different dishes, ranging from Asian foods to European and even traditional Swiss dishes. The desserts all look super delicious and the few I've tasted were amazing, especially the mango mousse. Can't wait to go back!

No view, smaller selection - tourists should go to the main one - Edit
This place is great if you want to avoid the often crowded main Hiltl restaurant. But if you are a tourist, I suggest you go there anyway, because the range of foods there is much greater. And the view from the terrace here is only a boring courtyard.

Tasty and fresh! Worth every penny! - Edit
Famoso por ser el primer resto vegetariano en Europa, con más de 100 años y ahora son una cadena muy cool. Funciona por peso, venden tragos ricos, hay dj en la tardes y el local al que fuimos nosotros en Zurich es una terraza muy bacan! Probamos varios platos, recomendamos una pasta de vegan deliciosa, una salsa de seitán con champiñones buenisima y los mousse de fruta. El manager (vegano también), fue muy buena onda.
Read moreFamous for being the first vegetarian restaurant in Europe with more than 100 years and now they are a very cool chai. It works by weight, they sell super nice drinks and even have a DJ in the afternoon in the one in Zurich with a terrace very top! We tried several dishes, we recommend a delicious vegan pasta "egg" a seitan sauce with mushrooms great and the fruit mousse.
Great staff that speaks Spanish and Josh, the manager is great guy (ask for him 😉)
Pros: Pasta eggless, Fruit mousse, Vibe of the place and terrace
Cons: A little more expensive that what we are use to

My absolute favorite in Zürich - Edit
I love Hiltl. Dachterrasse is one of the branches. It only offers buffet style. Only vegetarian and vegan options, vegan is clearly marked. Great salads, entrees and desserts. Only downside is the price! They also offer a wide array of drinks. Seats are hard to come by here. Friday nights they have a DJ, which makes it hard to actually have a conversation with people.
Read morePros: lots of vegan options
Cons: unfortunately very pricy

Impressive place - Edit
Absolutely the largest veg restaurant that we’ve ever seen. Very trendy, apparently, so quite busy. We had a couple of their Vegan options that were plenty tasty, although a bit oily. Waay too fancy and expensive for us, but am very glad we went!
Read morePros: Amazing glass walled kitchen, LOTS of decent seati, Open late.

Amazing buffet - Edit
Lovely place, very friendly stuff. The buffet have a lot of vegan dishes or you can chose from the menu. Curries are full of flavour and they use not too much oil to prepare it. Best meal in Zurich so far!
