100% plant-based venue with a fully vegan kitchen (no animal products on premises). Confirmed by the venue's own site, HappyCow listing (5.0 stars, 138 reviews), and a dedicated vegan travel blog. No animal-derived ingredients are present, making cross-contamination with non-vegan items structurally impossible.
Bakery Bakery is Switzerland's first fully vegan bakery chain (since 2019). The official website states 'die erste vegane Bäckerei der Schweiz' and all products are described as vegan. This is a 100% dedicated vegan kitchen — no animal products on premises.
The Lintheschergasse location is listed as a fully vegan restaurant on HappyCow; reviews confirm 'All vegan' and '99% vegan'. The venue's own website describes it as plant-based. The Maschinenstr branch introduced some dairy pastries in 2025 but they are clearly marked, and the core menu remains vegan. No certification, but the kitchen at the primary Lintheschergasse location is structurally vegan (no animal products on premises).
Lintheschergasse branch operates as a fully vegan kitchen with all-plant-based dishes; confirmed by multiple HappyCow reviews and the venue's own branding. No animal products on site, effectively a dedicated vegan kitchen. Menu items are clearly labeled.
The venue describes itself as a 'Veganes Bio-Restaurant' (vegan organic restaurant) on all official pages; as a fully vegan kitchen, no animal products are used, making it structurally safe for vegan diets.
The venue is a fully vegan brunch buffet. The venue's own website (veganbrunch.ch) explicitly states 'Und das alles vegan' and describes the menu entirely in plant-based terms (scrambled tofu, carrot lax, maple syrup sweetening). HappyCow lists it as 'Vegan' category. The entire offering is structurally vegan; no non-vegan ingredients are present on the premises.
Haus Hiltl is widely recognised as the oldest vegan restaurant in the world, as stated by the celiac blogger source. The venue's own website (hiltl.ch) presents itself as a vegetarian restaurant since 1898, with a strong plant-based focus. The combination of the venue's historical identity as a vegan restaurant and the blogger's corroboration supports a dedicated vegan kitchen.
Venue's website claims 'rein pflanzenbasierte Gerichte', indicating a fully vegan kitchen. HappyCow confirms vegan-friendly with a separate vegan menu and marks items with 'v' on the menu. Some older reviews mention the venue is mostly vegetarian, but the current website points to a fully vegan operation.
HappyCow lists Vegi as a fully vegan restaurant (category: Vegan Restaurant). The listing states 'All vegan except for aryan yogurt drink' for a similar-named outlet, but for Vegi itself the category is Vegan and no non-vegan items are mentioned. However, no source confirms a dedicated vegan kitchen or accreditation.
Restaurant positions itself as a fully vegan restaurant/takeaway; website and HappyCow categorize it as vegan. A December 2024 community update claims the venue became fully vegan, but an earlier review and the HappyCow description note that ayran (a dairy yogurt drink) was sold, creating mild uncertainty. Most dishes are plant-based, and the vast majority of reviews confirm vegan offerings. The owner/chef likely follows vegan practices.
Honest caveat, Single report of ayran (dairy) being sold historically, though a December 2024 update claims full vegan status.
