Local before arrival
The institution at the center of Zurich with a history stretching all the way back to 1898 has quite a few “firsts” under its belt: The world’s oldest vegetarian restaurant, the first fully electric kitchen, the premier vegetarian “butcher” in town and the first quality vegetarian fast-food chain. It has confidently occupied the top ranks of popular restaurants in a city best known for its traditional meat-and-potatoes dishes, and that for good reason. The kitchen team provides refined plates at the a la carte dining room and serves over 100 varieties of vegetarian and vegan options at the famous buffet, all using top ingredients and recipes that are taught at the restaurant’s culinary academy.
