My favorite vegan place in Lausanne

Have been there for a lot of times. Delicious food! Although it is a vegetarian restaurant, more than 85% of them are vegan. They also have some gluten free desserts if you are lucky. But it is a little bit expensive. Every time I want to eat until I am completely satisfied, I spend more than 25 chf…

Superbe!

Je ne sais pas pourquoi j’ai hésité autant avant d’aller dans ce restaurant. Vraiment une merveille, il propose plein de chose innovante, comme un guacamole d’edamame ?!?! Et les brownies sont exceptionnels !

Positive experience

My partner and I visited Tibits for lunch during a holiday weekend in Lausanne. We liked the food and the service, and the premises looked clean and tidy. Staff spoke English, however, the dishes descriptions were only in French and some of the were missing altogether which is an issue if you’re vegan for example. Prices were in line with the other restaurants in Lausanne and service was really friendly.

Overall, a very positive experience and we would definitely recommend this place.

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Staff speaks English

Lovely buffet

The place is very nice and they offer a large buffet full of different types of food. You can find for example veganized traditional Swiss dishes like Zürcher Geschnetzeltes, or Indian curries, Asian spring rolls etc. Everything's usually very delicious and their desserts are lovely.
I find the price a little too high though, but I still recommend this restaurant. A great place to show your meat eating friends that vegetarian/vegan food isn't boring ;)

Pros: Large variety of dishes, Beautiful place

Cons: Prices a bit too high

Delicious food, staff is meh

It's a vegetarian buffet but there's plenty of vegan options. Everything that I've ever tried was very tasty, fresh and of great quality. Every vegan dish of the buffet is labeled so it's easy to know what's vegan and what's not. My favorite is the papet vaudois, the seitan bourguignon and the passion fruit mousse. I'm only putting 4 stars because of the staff. One bartender once mocked me for asking for vegan milk in my coffee ("Is it to save the pandas?" with a fake, mocking sad face). And sometimes, the bartenders keep chatting and laughing together while customers are waiting to take their order, it's not very pleasant, especially when you have a train to catch (the restaurant is located in the train station). Some of them are perfectly nice and professional though, but it's a bit of a gamble. The food is also quite expensive. But from time to time it is worth it for me because it truly is tasty and its location is very practical.

Pros: Delicious vegan dishes, Well labeled, Location

Cons: Expensive , Staff is not great (with a few exceptions), Crowded, Not fully vegan

Excellent food with plenty of choice

The food is not 100% vegan but probably...90%?!!
Plenty of choice appart from the desserts where there is only mainly fruits.
All the dishes are excellent and tasty, price is a bit high though.
Also, the place is very cosy

Pros: Food, Choice

Cons: Price, lack of variety in the desserts

Sooo diverse and tasty

Every excuse is perfect to go to Tibits. This place has everything you need. Good to work, meet people, gather with friends and of course especially perfect to eat and never forget 😊
About 50% is vegan and another half vegetarian.
Many choices for different tastes.
Personally, I highly recommend.
I’m so happy you exist 💚

Pros: Diversity , Tasty

Cons: Expensive

Agréable dans l’apres midi

À l’heure du café, beaucoup moins de monde mais un buffet toujours régulièrement rechargé. On était un peu déçu de l’aspect visuel des plats et du manque d'originalité. Ceci étant, on est heureux d’avoir une offre pareil au centre de Lausanne.

Pros: Prix au poids, Étiquetage vegan, Peu de monde après diner

Cons: Prix des boissons, Beaucoup de friture

Very flash, in all respects

First, the space is stunning. Early century Art Deco with 20m high ceilings (ok maybe not that much but it's how it looks), a lot of light and great furniture. They really revealed this place (that was a dusty traditional restaurant before).
And then, the food. Oh my!
It's expensive, but everything is SO GOOD! So much choice for vegans, including delicacies such as seitan bourguignon, almond cheese, excellent scrambled tofu for brunch or beautiful desserts.
Personally I love also the buffet setup, allowing me to customize my plate.

Large choix pour végétaliens

Tibits propose énormément d'options végétaliennes dans ce buffet, froid ou chaud. Certains produits sont bio et locaux. On y trouve des bières et des glaces artisanales. Dommage que tout ne soit pas végétalien ;)

La décoration est chouette. Wifi, journaux et fontaine à eau disponibles.

Dans les mauvais côtés, c'est très très vite bruyant, et le prix de l'assiette peut vite monter.

Pros: Beaucoup de choix, Horaires larges, Bon étiquetage (végétalien, gluten free ou pas)

Cons: Peut être très bruyant, Boissons très chères, Tout n'est pas végétalien ;)

Pros: Beaucoup d’options vegan

Great food, very expensive!

Many vegan food options and the food was delicious. But once at the register.. whoopsie!
Also because of the large hall it is very noisy.
Because we brought our dog (which was no problem at all) we had to go separate so we ate in turn instead of together.

Pros: Many vegan options, Delicious food, Dog allowed

Cons: Very expensive, Noisy, A bit unpractical if with a group or dog..

Tibits for All

So glad we "discovered" Tibits! We were three couples meeting up in Lausanne at the start of a week-long bike trip. The restaurant is conveniently located in the train station. There is so much delicious food at the buffet! Wonderful flavors, colors and textures. Our omnivore friends could not complain, and we vegans were in heaven! On our bike trip through Fribourg and Bern cantons we had to forage for vegan food, but at the end of our trip in Lucerne we found another Tibits!

Pros: Variety and quality of food, Abundance of vegan selections, Ambience

Who can say no to Tibits?

Obviously, Tibits is a Swiss institution. Its convenient location in the old Buffet de la gare de Lausanne makes it the perfect location for a quick yet classy dinner/lunch/takeout -you name it! Tibits offers healthy, mostly vegan (some vegetarian choices). Everything is labelled though and staff are happy to answer questions. What I also love about Tibits is that you get to see your food before you eat it!

Pros: options, options, options, location, location, location

A must go!

Went there several times already. When I want a coffee or chaï with delicious plant based milk, it’s my absolute go to!
The food is delicious and offer often new options! Sadly it’s expensive, be careful not to take too heavy things on your plate ;)

Pros: Lots of vegan goodies, Friendly staff , Cosy atmosphere

Cons: Pretty expensive, Not fully vegan
