Best vegan & vegetarian buffet in Zurich with a huge variety of different foods. Tip: if you like it to be more relaxed make reservations and sit in the area on the 1st floor with attentive service.

The best vegetarian restaurant I've ever been to. Bar/club adjusted to it.Food is delicious, so many options!Quiet pricey, but worth every Frank.Weighing the plates and pay as per weight of the food.

Hiltl buffet is open also in the afternoon! Great for a snake ang got very good table at 16:45, window seat :-) Love Hiltl and Samses, my preferred Vegetarian and Vegan restaurants in Zurich!

The world's first vegetarian restaurant. Today I'm having vegan panna cotta and iced chai latte - a great summer afternoon snack!

Buffet dishes are priced based on their weight (a full plate of papaya, ananas, rocket, carrots, pasta, beans, brown rice including bread ~22 CHF); Outdoor and indoor seats; An absolute legend!

The "buffet" is not really a buffet - you pay by weight. Certainly more affordable than most places (being vegetarian & eating at the bar area helps, for sure). PS: the pappadum is free.

Lots of Asian dishes! The food isn't mind-blowing but the concept and history of the restaurant is nice. Price is pretty good for Zurich standards too. This is what 100g/15 CHF might look like. :)

Amazing vegan and vegetarian food. Half of the food is Indian theme. Loved the Chana Masala, curry, and vegan berry tiramisu. You can't miss this place. Come after 13:30 to beat crowds.

The food and the choice are great! Hiltl is featured in easyJet inflight magazine and was my obvious choice - I really wanted to try the first vegetarian restaurant in the world. It was worth it.

A great place for meat eaters and vegetarians in my opinion. Delicious food with fresh ingredients in the buffet. I had an nice brunch there and also took some food home, definitely recommended
Jovana KovacevicJune 6, 2019
I like the idea and they have some interesting dishes but as someone who goes to vegan/vegetarian restaurants in pursuit of healthy food I was a bit disappointed.Tons of salt and sugar in everything!

Delicious food w/o any animal effect ..upstairs with a la carte service ... Delicious green curry.. Taste 8/10 - service 7,5/10 - ambiance 7/10

As a non-vegan, it’s one of those places that makes you rethink your decision! Amazing variety with a lot of different cuisines, and tastes good!
Marc R?erDecember 17, 2015
The vegetarian buffet has made this place famous, the quality is good and Eden if you're into meat like me you'll definitely enjoy it, just make sure to get a reservation for WE nights
Erhard RüttimannFebruary 8, 2020
Really great buffet available for vegetarian and vegan food lovers. Has something for everyone and price depends on weight of food. Highly recommend this for vegetarian and vegans.
David RoessliJanuary 7, 2016
Amazing veg restaurant. Don't miss it. Everything about it is great, from the settings to the food/drinks and atmosphere!
Christian DickmannMarch 24, 2015
This place is amazing. I am not a vegetarian, but with food like this, I don't need meat. Try their "hackbraten", " tandoori schnitzel", "quinoa burger", " tartar" or anything else from the buffet.
Samantha BosshardApril 15, 2017
Buffet is great but it gets crowded. Water is free if you fill it up on your own. Hiltl is featured in Guiness book of records for being the oldest continuously open vegetarian restaurant in the World
Anoushé EmilieOctober 13, 2015
Some of the best food for vegan, vegetarian food! Try the desserts and juices ! We also always enjoy the curries and salads
Michael Ariel 🔯September 26, 2014
Great vegetarian restaurant. Try the vegetarian burger they offer. It can be crowded during lunchtime so make a reservation.
Sandra LinJune 10, 2014
I loved this place! The service was excellent, especially our host (Katherine). The food was really delicious, as the assortment was really big! I'd turn vegetarian forreal.
MC CasalAugust 9, 2014
Only in Zürich but great place to eat vegie or paleo with a fusion twist and tasty choice. A must.
Holly DAugust 16, 2019
trendy casual always a great time. good place to talk, to eat, to see the locals and expats alike! the desserts here are the best!
Oliver MaagNovember 3, 2014
Awesome vegetarian food. Lots of little bites as well. It can get quite expensive quickly, so think when making your plate. The ice teas are also very good!
Bettina MelendezJanuary 28, 2018
The oldest vegetarian restaurant in the world. Buffet style and they have some special buffets like brunch or breakfast - check their website!
Géraldine MullerDecember 4, 2016
Expensive but excellent vegetarian and healthy food. There is a huge range of choice (including desserts) at the buffet. The juices are nice too.
Josh HannahJuly 4, 2018
Everything is great. Even the carnivores loved it. Nice that you can do the buffet by weight so light eaters and kids are priced fairly.
Aysan AyDecember 21, 2016
Always packed, always good! It is Indian influenced vegetarian open buffet restaurant. Everything is tasty. Fill up your plate, weight it and pay !
Fatima MatarApril 24, 2017
The best vegetarian restaurant I've ever tried, many foods choices with good taste! they open most of the day and always busy place .
Marija H.December 16, 2015
Place for meat eaters as well as one doesn't notice meat is missing.Great buffet but also excellent a la carte.Perfect place for brunch if one is not in a hurry (service can be somehow slow when busy)
Matt MullerJune 19, 2017
Delicious buffet, even though I'm not vegetarian I still had an amazing meal. Just head up, grab a plate, and then get it weighed at the bar when you're ready.
Gabriel SeahNovember 19, 2022
The food here is delicious & varied (not just by Swiss standards); there's Indian, Mediterranean, generic Western & miscellaneous cuisines represented.

After Hilti, I'm thinking of becoming vegetarian. Food is really delicious. They use all types of spices. Try there desserts, they are fantastic!
Holly DMay 30, 2016
wishing hiltl could cater my life - even as a non-vegetarian (!!!) mango chia pudding, strawberry rhubarb tiramisu, & curries are heavenly
BillJuly 25, 2016
Very nice vegetarian selection (and only vegetarian) and good drinks. The place is also beautiful but... it's really expensive. Not sure if it's not to much for the value.

always good food, very delicious, especially the open buffet bar. very convenient to try many dishes at one go.
John BroksJuly 4, 2012
Never thought I'd say it but this is a superb Vegetarian restaurant. Help yourself to freshly prepared food from the buffet. I hate buffets but again this is really good, fresh tasting. Pay by weight.
Magdalena BialasFebruary 21, 2015
Self service Vegi food High quality, broad choice, healthy, tasty Good atmosphere Highly recommended place! Nuss salad - a must
Saffana KNovember 26, 2018
Best vegi variety of choices 👍🏻 definitely I recommend it
Simon WüthrichAugust 7, 2014
Zurich's most famous and successful vegetarian restaurant. For the real experience you should book a table some 48hrs in advance.
Silvan HagenJune 5, 2016
The legendary vegetarian restaurant. Amazing dishes, a bit pricey, make a reservation for dinner. Enjoy their free surplus.
Trevor HillJune 16, 2018
The og veg restaurant, a buffet where you pay per gram. My suggestion: save plate space to try a little of everything

I really like Hiltl, both the buffet with variation or alla cart, while the bar serves excellent drinks. Superb declaration of vegan food as well.
Daria ZetMarch 5, 2016
My favorite vegetarian place in Zürich. Don't forget to try the desserts, they are all fantastic!
Joel WongJuly 14, 2015
The food is just marvelous. It really makes you forget that Human are carnivores! But don't forget that "vegetarian" doesn't mean "healthy"!!!!

Loved the vegan chocolate mousse I just had at the world's oldest vegetarian restaurant!

Entry 25. If you r a girl, don't wait in line, they let girls through right away if you ask. Music can be monotonous but it works. Upstairs is stuffy and stinky and downstairs can be cold. Dress up!
Sofia BurtonJuly 23, 2018
This is a vegetarian/vegan paradise, and a must if visiting Züri
Dominic D.September 6, 2014
Bombastic vegetarian buffet! Must try! Watch out, you may not want to stop trying! The dessert buffet is a total delight!
