Cafes

in Zurich

Zurich abounds with cafes. Sip, tipple, gurgle, okay don't spit but do sit back and relax and watch the world go by.

Zurich is a vegetarian delight though with Swiss cheese so popular vegans may not be as so well served. You have got to visit Hiltl, the first vegetarian-only restaurant in Europe. Choose your pleasure from the buffet (this is the hard part), then have your food weighed and settle up before you take your place in this chic, busy restaurant. We enjoyed it so much during our weekend break that we came back for a second visit and were sorely tempted for a third visit. It certanly feels like a cool place to dine and the fact that the food is so tasty (cheaper in the bar than at the back of the restaurant) helped. The velvet curtain cover at front does give that olde Europe feel and just the ticket to keep out those draughty Northern winds.

Definitely one not to miss at www.hiltl.ch.
