Hiltl Dachterrasse

A great vegetarian restaurant, with the best variety in all of the city served in a buffet. The food is charged by weight so you only pay for what you eat from the buffet, unless you have the appetite, then you can take an unlimited meal for 63 CHF. Absolutely worth it if you are in the mood for a heavy meal.

P.S. they had some great Indian food options too

Sehr köstliches und hochqualitatives Essen. Leider sehr teuer. Der Teller auf dem Bild hat 30 Franken gekostet. Trotzdem sehr sehr lecker. Wenn man sich einmalig was gönnen will kann ich es empfehlen, ein zweites Mal kann man sich dannach aber kaum leisten.

Dachterrasse HILTL:Didn’t meet the Expectations set by Family and Friends

I had high hopes for Dachterrasse HILTL, a vegetarian restaurant in Zurich that was recommended to me by my family and friends. They told me that it was the best place to enjoy authentic Indian cuisine in the city. However, I was very dissatisfied with my visit and I felt that the restaurant did not live up to its reputation.
The first thing that bothered me was the service. The staff was not very attentive. They did not explain the menu or the concept of the restaurant, and they did not check on us during our meal.
The second thing that disappointed me was the food. The restaurant claims to offer authentic Indian cuisine, but I found it to be far from the real thing. The dishes lacked the flavor and spice that I expected from Indian food. They were bland and overcooked. The only good thing was that they had a lot of variety and you could choose anything to eat as everything was sold by weight. They also offered free bread, papad, and water. But this did not make up for the poor taste of the food.
The third thing that annoyed me was the price. The restaurant was very expensive for the quality and quantity of food they provided. We paid almost 40 CHF per person for a mediocre meal that left me unsatisfied and unhappy. I felt that we wasted our money and our time at this place.
I would not recommend this place to anyone who is looking for authentic Indian food in Zurich. It is overhyped and not worth the money. There are much better options in the city for vegetarian food that are cheaper and tastier. Dachterrasse HILTL is a disappointing experience that I would not like to repeat.

Trendy rooftop bar/self service restaurant very close to the hauptbahnhof. It's an offshoot of the nearby Haus Hiltl (oldest vegetarian restaurant in the world). As such, all food is vegan/vegetarian and the selection is a fair bit thinner than at the main hub. That being said you'll probably find something tasty you like. Where this place truly shines is the great decor and vibe which on a sunny day is perfect for relaxing and having a nice meal or drink outdoors. Turns into a bar after 5pm and only adults are allowed thereafter.

Seriously delicious and amazing vegetarian buffet. So much variety in the food! Really recommend this place! Fairly average Swiss restaurant prices. Definitely treat yourself to food here, great for a solo meal, a date or a friend outing. The cocktails are also delicious! And the service from the staff is also lovely! Enjoyed my visit 100%

Its alright..
Food is ok, wouldn't say wow but good.. vegetarian options only. Good selection thought..
I think its quite expensive..
Terrace and seating area outside is nice and refreshing.. No view still good..

The ambiance in this place is fantastic. While the food was decent, the service was somewhat mixed, with some enthusiastic staff and one who seemed less so. I would really appreciate a few recommendations on the menu, along with some background information on the ingredients. For instance, knowing that the honey comes from a farm just 10 minutes away, where bees help pollinate xxx, or that the Kombucha we're served is from a local brewery named xxx, would be wonderful additions to the experience.

A perfect place for (not only) vegetarian/vegan. Very nice space, not so expensive and very good food, super cute lavatories (I loved the tiles!), cool seating, two terraces. It's self-service and may get full during lunch time but people don't sit here for a long time. Try the pineapple&basil lemonade!
