Hiltl Haus

$$ · ModerateLeashed 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

What is available on site

  • Dogs indoors
  • Water bowls
  • Shaded seating
  • Step-free access
