Big range of food

I went here twice for dinner in 2 days and there were slight changes in food, which was nice to try new things. There was alot of vegan options (staff member said about 80%) and everything was clearly labelled.
My absolute favourite was the egg salad. Also really liked the chilli non carne, and potato salad. The edamame dip was refreshing, and loved the range of dips - especially the house, tzitziki, and lentil pate.
You get a free bread roll with your meal, but they're not the soft fluffy bread.
The restaurant is spacious with welcoming decor, and conveniently in the train station.

Pros: Egg salad

You described it perfectly. So nice to chose a little of this and little of that.
Vegan desserts and fresh fruit. Yum!

What a place!

Sooo, you are hungry and waiting for a train? If that's the case this place is a must! Open buffet with many variaties of vegan and vegetarian food. Everything is labelled very well and the quality is also good. Great place for the curious foodies who like to try out many different things at once.

Big fan of Tibits

I love Tibits! Lucerne is the fourth one I’ve been to and it’s just as good as the other branches. Great selection of dishes, cakes and drinks. The restaurant itself is in the main train station but doesn’t feel like it, has a lovely calm feel. The staff are exceptional, very friendly and enthusiastic.

Pros: Loads of vegan food, Staff are amazing , Does takeaways

Excellent Buffet

Multiple choices, mostly vegan in a buffet style. Protein options are limited. Delicious food. Even my meat-eating partner praised the food multiple times. That was a surprise. Even most of the desserts are vegan and tasted exceptional. The peanut butter brownie and passion fruit cheesecake was a balance of crunchy and sweet but not too sweet. The greatness comes with an expense- a medium plate of food is $20-30/CHF.

Pros: Lots of vegan options , Delicious food

Cons: Expensive

Vegetarian in Train station

Very nice to find this restaurant inside Lucerne train station. They clearly mark if you cannot tolerate some ingredients ( onion, garlic, gluten, etc ).
Taste of food and dessert awsome.

Pros: Choices with ingredients clearly mark, Dessert awsome, Location

Best Taste & Value

Tidbits is of spectacular value for those eating out in Switzerland when you bring your own container for to-go. Costs only €3/100g. Not cheap but it’s over 50% less than Hitl.

There is a large variety spanning European, Middle Eastern, and south Asian. Nearly all the options are vegan. The spring rolls, falafel, and cheesecake were the most tasty and memorable. The setting is beautiful, location convenient, and the staff friendly.

(I’ve omitted a photo because I couldn’t take an attractive photo of the food in my reusable container)

Delicious Buffet

This is a buffet style restaurant where your food is weighed and you pay per 100g. There's a large selection of hot and cold items, ranging from Indian to Italian and Mediterranean, with some German fare as well. Nearly all of the offerings are vegan.

Pros: Great vatiety, Tons of vegan offerings , Friendly staff

Das erste Mal (pflanzlich) auswärts essen

Eigentlich gibt es an der Lage (oberhalb der Gleise im Hauptbahnhof Luzern), der Einrichtung / Ambiance und dem Service nichts zu meckern. Wir sind neu in dem Ganzen (pflanzlich essen) und haben eher immer zu Hause alles selbst gekocht und vorbereitet und vielleicht deshalb sind wir etwas verwöhnt mit der Qualität und Geschmack vom Essen selbst. Sachen, die Menschen eher vielleicht davon abhalten "vegan" zu essen.

Vielleicht ist es auch nur Geschmackssache. Vielleicht ist es auch nur die etwas magere Auswahl fürs Frühstück. Wir kommen vielleicht wieder, aber probieren etwas für die etwas späteren Mahlzeiten, wie die Mittags- und Abendessen-Speisen.

PS: Es ist extrem schwer in der Zentralschweiz Restaurants zu finden, welche eine breite Auswahl an pflanzliche Frühstücksgerichte offerieren.

+++

Actually, there is nothing to complain about the location (above the tracks in the Lucerne main station), the facility / ambiance and the service. We are new to this whole thing (plant-based eating) and have rather always cooked and prepared everything ourselves at home and perhaps therefore we are somewhat spoiled with the quality and taste of the food itself. Things that tend to maybe keep people from eating "vegan", that is.

Maybe it's just a matter of taste. Maybe it's just the somewhat meager selection for breakfast items. We may come back, but try something for the slightly later meals, like the lunch and dinner dishes.

PS: It is extremely difficult to find restaurants in central Switzerland that offer a wide selection of plant-based breakfast dishes.

Pros: Location, Cleanliness / mood, Service

Cons: Price (normal in Switzerland), Taste of food (breakfast only)

Für alle was dabei!

Ich war nun schon sehr häufig im Tibits und wurde bislang auch noch nie enttäuscht. Das Buffet hat meistens sehr viele vegane Speisen im Angebot. Ein weiterer Vorteil ist, dass man dank der Selbstbedienung je nach Hunger mehr oder weniger nehmen kann. Die hausgemachten Getränke sind ebenfalls sehr lecker. Es gibt jedoch auch noch 1-2 kleine Kritikpunkte. Zum einen wird es schnell ziemlich teuer, was meinen Erfahrungen nach vor allem omnivore Besucher etwas abschreckt. Das ist meines Erachtens etwas schade, da das Tibits für jeden und jede etwas zu bieten hat! Zudem ist das lokal häufig ziemlich voll, was die Atmosphäre leider etwas stört. Alles in allem trotzdem ein sehr empfehlenswertes Reataurant, das ich auf jeden Fall auch in Zukunft noch oft besuchen werde.

Pros: Viele vegane Optionen, Selstbedienung, Leckeres Essen und Getränke

Cons: Ziemlich teuer, Langsam könnte man auf NUR vegan umstellen😉

Convenient, tasty food

Amazing selection of vegan food. Everything was well-marked. I enjoyed everything that I tried. I don’t like the pay by weight concept though. This was one of 3 vegan restaurants on my trip that used this concept. It’s difficult to know how much you’re spending for your meal and I spent way more than I budgeted at each of these restaurants as a result.

Reliable and cozy atmosphere

This place is located above the train station and that was helpful in itself. A variety of dishes to choose from. Expansive salad bar as well. Main entree's change day to day. It was quite convenient so I ate there twice during my 3 day stay in Lucern.

Pros: Options are clearly labeled, Friendly staff

Cons: A bit expensive but then again it's Switzerland

Great option in the city center!

This vegetarian restaurant is inside the train station. It has a buffet and you pay for what you eat (4,30 CHF per 100g for lunch there). Lots of vegan options and there is an English translation of the cards with the name of the food.

Cons: Food was not so warm

Yummy

Staff very helpful in alerting me to what was vegan and what wasn't. Good choice of salad, hot food and puddings.

Pros: A good and varied vegan range, both hot and cold., And (for Swiss standards) reasonably priced.
