25 venues in Zürich rated S to B for vegan, every tier backed by cited sources.
Anoah operates a kitchen that is 100% plant-based. Every dish on the menu is vegan. No animal products are kept on the premises. This has been confirmed by HappyCow, which applies a Vegan tag and draws on multiple reviews, as well as by TasteMatch and Zurich.com.
The venue operates as a 100% plant-based establishment with a fully vegan kitchen, meaning no animal products are kept on the premises. This status is confirmed by the venue's own website, HappyCow (which gives it 5.0 stars based on 138 reviews), and a dedicated vegan travel blog. Because no animal-derived ingredients are present, cross-contamination with non-vegan items is 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.
According to HappyCow, the Lintheschergasse location is a fully vegan restaurant, with reviews describing it as either 'All vegan' or '99% vegan'. The venue's own website calls the food plant-based. The Maschinenstr branch began offering some dairy pastries in 2025, but those items are clearly marked, and the main menu remains vegan. The restaurant has no certification, but the kitchen at the primary Lintheschergasse location is structurally vegan, meaning no animal products are kept on the premises.
The Lintheschergasse branch operates a fully vegan kitchen, with all dishes plant-based as confirmed by multiple HappyCow reviews and the venue's own branding. No animal products are kept on site, making it 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 operates as a fully vegan brunch buffet. The venue's website, veganbrunch.ch, states 'Und das alles vegan' and describes the menu with plant-based terms such as scrambled tofu, carrot lax, and maple syrup sweetening. HappyCow places it in the 'Vegan' category. The entire offering is structurally vegan, with no non-vegan ingredients present on the premises.
A celiac blogger source states that Haus Hiltl is widely recognised as the oldest vegan restaurant in the world. The venue's own website, hiltl.ch, presents it 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.
The venue’s website states “rein pflanzenbasierte Gerichte,” which suggests a fully vegan kitchen. HappyCow lists the restaurant as vegan-friendly, notes a separate vegan menu, and marks items with a “v.” Some older reviews describe the venue as mostly vegetarian, but the current website points to a fully vegan operation.
HappyCow lists Vegi under the category Vegan Restaurant, designating it a fully vegan establishment. A similar-named outlet carries the note that all items are vegan except for aryan yogurt drink, though for Vegi itself the category is Vegan and no non-vegan items are mentioned. No source confirms a dedicated vegan kitchen or any accreditation.
The Brasserie branch offers many clearly labelled vegan options, including Planted pulled pork, summer rolls, curry, and desserts. The Cuisine branch has several dishes that can be made vegan upon request. Staff are described as accommodating. However, the Cuisine branch has a known issue with fish sauce in 'vegetarian' dishes, so diners must explicitly request vegan preparation. No dedicated vegan kitchen or fryer is noted.
HappyCow reports everything on the menu can be made vegan. Multiple vegan reviewers confirm abundant vegan options including smoothies, acai bowls, bagels, and banana bread. Staff are friendly and accommodating.
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.
The menu uses a 'vegan' icon for each dish. A vegan cheese option is available for all pizzas at an additional cost of 3 CHF. The kitchen is shared, and many toppings include non-vegan items such as cheese and meat. Vegan diners should verify cross-contamination with staff.
HappyCow categorises both branches as 'Vegan', and most dishes are plant-based. Multiple reviews state 'Everything is vegan' or that the venue 'has gone fully vegan'. Cow's milk is kept on the premises and offered as the default option for coffee, and the take-away listing confirms milk is available on request. This means the kitchen is not 100% dedicated vegan, and cross-contamination risk exists for strict ethical vegans. Staff are described as knowledgeable about vegan options.
The menu is predominantly plant-based. Multiple reviewers and HappyCow describe the Schanzengraben and Lintheschergasse branches as fully vegan. Since August 2025, the Maschinenstraße branch has sold dairy-containing pastries, and those items are clearly marked. Staff are trained on allergens and can advise. At non-dedicated branches, a shared kitchen means cross-contamination risk exists for strict vegans. The marked menu is confirmed across sources.
Chimy's is a buffet-style Asian restaurant with clearly labelled vegan dishes. Staff are reported as knowledgeable about allergens. The kitchen is shared with meat dishes and the venue is not fully vegan, so cross-contamination risk exists.
Official menu explicitly labels three stews as 'vegan'. FindMeGlutenFree confirms vegan options. Shared kitchen with non-vegan items (meat stews, yogurt dips), so cross-contamination risk exists.
Roots was originally fully vegan, but as of August 2025 it serves pastry with milk and cow's milk for coffee. Most dishes remain vegan and are well labelled. Staff are helpful and answer questions. A shared kitchen means cross-contamination with dairy is possible. The menu is marked, and staff are aware, but there is no dedicated vegan prep area.
Buffet is largely vegan (∼80%) with clear per-dish labelling (vegan symbols). Tuesdays are 100% vegan. However, it is a shared self-service buffet with non-vegan items (cheese, eggs) present, so cross-contamination risk exists. No dedicated vegan prep area or fryer.
Vegan options are marked at the buffet. The kitchen shares equipment with dairy and egg dishes, so the venue is suitable for ethical vegans but carries a risk of cross-contamination.
Vegan dishes are clearly marked with a 'v' symbol on the buffet, and most dishes are vegan. However, some items contain dairy/eggs (e.g., paneer), and the buffet is shared with non-vegan dishes. A few reviews note occasional label misplacements. Cross-contamination risk exists in the shared buffet setup.
The venue offers clearly labeled vegan options, including pre-made sandwiches, artisanal bread, pastries, cookies, and coffee with oat milk. Multiple vegan reviewers confirm that vegan items are available, but the kitchen is shared and not dedicated. Cross-contamination risk is acknowledged.
