Hiltl Haus
$$ · Moderate·Leashed only
Hiltl, in business since 1898, is the world's oldest vegetarian restaurant, with a grand buffet, a bar-lounge and a leafy terrace in central Zurich. Dogs are explicitly welcome, consistent with Hiltl's animal-welfare ethos, and water bowls are standard.
Why it made the list
A historic, vegetarian institution where a dog at your table fits the house philosophy perfectly.
Good to know before you go
Leashed dogs are welcome in the restaurant and terrace areas; Zurich restaurants commonly accept well-behaved dogs and Hiltl publishes its dog-friendly stance. Hours differ across the buffet, bar and shop, so check the official site for the section you want.
Practical notes
Buffet lunch is easiest with a dog settled under the table
The terrace is calmer than the buzzy ground-floor room
