Description does not do it justice - this place is amazing

When I read “mostly vegan cafe” in a town with very few vegan options I usually picture a stale tofu sandwich sitting in a glass case that goes with a $12 beet juice. This ain’t that.

Good god, this place is amazing. We went for dinner. The buffet is self serve and every single thing is delicious. It’s not just beans and quinoa either. The dishes are extremely creative and I’d be doing them a disservice by trying to describe them. My wife and I finished off the night with 2 slices of cake. This is easily one of my all time favorites.

Pros: all vegan, buffet, Amazing everything

Cons: only 1 person spoke English

Excellent, and almost all vegan

We were very pleased to discover this gem last year, and it's still excellent. The lunch and dinner buffets are all vegan and all delicious, with great variety, including both traditional and creative cuisine. (in fact they say everything they serve is vegan, with the exception of the availability of cow milk for coffee, for those customers who want it).

Service is very warm and helpful, and English is spoken. The chef kindly came out to explain all the buffet items. There are vegan desserts, too.

The atmosphere is one of relaxed elegance, and we appreciate the good vibes.

Prices are moderate, and well worth it for the quality and the all-around superb experience.

Highly recommended. Enjoy!

It's a very nice place with a lot of athmosphere. Food and prices are good and the helpfull stuff is very friendly. Only the lasagne was a little over cooked.

Pros: Everthing is vegetarian or even vegan, Freshly made

Cons: Overcooked lasagne , Not so mutch to choose of

Großartiges Restaurant vegan und Bio

Hier ist alles vegan und Bio! Es ist eher die Luxus-Ausgabe eines veganen Restaurants, und ähnlich wie in einem klassischen Sternerestaurant gibt es ein Degustations-Menü, das sehr zu empfehlen ist! Das Essen ist von sehr hoher Qualität, allerdings sind auch die Preise selbst für Schweizer Verhältnisse hoch. Trotzdem auf jeden Fall einen Besuch wert!

Pros: Vegan und Bio, Vegane Sterneküche, Perfekt eingerichtete Location zum Wohlfühlen

Cons: Sehr hochpreisig

Great vegan food

In this twoo weeks for Festival del Film Locarno they have a great buffet and it is 90% vegan!
The menu is for the most part vegan too.
The vegan chocolate cake it's amazing.
Not very big, so better to reserve.

Pros: Great vegan choice, Vegan cake, Organic
