Neue Taverne in Zürich

Vegetarian. Attentive service with advice. Small card, that's a good thing. Excellent wine. The dining room remains cozy.

Food and service were just perfect!

Very creative menu and the food was delicious. The best vegan food I have ever had. This time the service was great.

Brilliant food and great service!

The food was creative, exciting and delicious. We opted for the Tavolata (105 CHF per person) and found that half of the dishes were intended for sharing, resulting in small portions. It seems a bit disproportionate to pay so much money per person and still only receive limited food. We also noticed that the vegan menu had one fewer course than the vegetarian menu. It was very cold at our table under the window because it was constantly open. The waitress tried very hard, but we were only offered a solution very late.

I was invited to this restaurant for the dinner and knew nothing about before. My first impression was that I got into traditional Swiss place. But then Neue start to show up. Except interior, there is nothing traditional here - contemporary vegetarian menu, including tasting and a la carte choices, a wine list full of small producers and names you’ve probably never heard before. We chose a tasting menu and it was good, even for me - a 100% meet lover.

One of the best restaurants of the last few years, we went twice during a long weekend in Zurich. Super creative vegetarian dishes with outstanding service.

Always happy! Good service, very good food.

I am amazed of this place - My man invited me for a date. And that was just a magical experience. I am quite demanding as I work in that industry. Food was exceptionally great, all created absolutely delicious, service just wow. And to be honest price is worthy of that. You’ll remember that until end of your life 😃♥️✨ Highly recommend.

One of the best vegetarian restaurants I've ever visited - a mix of exceptional, creative, high class healthy veggie dishes that blew our minds. Highlight was the plant-based caviar. Truly unique gastronomic experience. Plus service and atmosphere excellent.

Great dining experience ❤️ we loved the food, and the service and hospitality were equally great. The food was so tasty and smelling so good, that I didn’t manage to take a picture 😅 thank you for having us!

We were there yesterday on February 9th, 4 people. The food was excellent. The Somelière competent and very friendly. The wine list is rather weak and there are no treasures. The prices are at the upper limit. We'd love to try again.

Fantastic food and service. The flavours blended perfectly together and we had an absolutely incredible service from the staff, especially our waitress called Inez. 100% recommend this restaurant to anyone that visits Zürich! 10/10.

It's a delightful discovery to find a Michelin-starred vegetarian restaurant in Europe! Every dish was impeccably prepared, and the flavors were truly outstanding. The staff provided exceptional attention to detail, and the ambiance exuded a warm and cozy Swiss atmosphere. It was truly a remarkable dining experience! The truffle bread was delicious!!!

Absolutely loved the vibe, food and team. Incredible quality of wine pairing too.

We were invited to a Tavolata and it was absolutely amazing! Vegan food at the highest level. Very creative and yet the unique dishes contain the slightly warmer flavors that we all love so much in winter. Subtly coordinated by a very coordinated, harmonious and calm team. You have to go there.

Phenomenal restaurant with very friendly and attentive service! Highly recommended!!!

If sharing your food works for you, you have come to the right place. Very nicely arranged dishes, Swiss-international fusion, vegetarian, seasonal and contemporary. Fantastic inspirations and reminders of classical dishes. Fair prices on the wine menu, which is super-rare. I walked out satisfied, but not stuffed. Friendly and approachable staff, apparently the chemistry in the team is good and they make you feel welcome. I will make this place this place a regular venue for me. Expect to pay 80-150 CHF per person, depending on wine selection, a fair price for the service and effort.

Incredibly delicious and very creative. I was first a bit doubtful about the small portions, but even after the first dishes I was already feeling full. Highly recommended!

Nice cozy place and delicious food. Overall, I would say this place is over the avarage in the city, in terms of quality and experience. Of course, it’s expensive, like almost all places in Zurich.

Super tasty dishes, exciting wine list, courteous staff & cozy atmosphere BUT… ...it is absurd to offer 2 seatings per evening at this level and at these prices. Already after the first gear you get the feeling that you have to hurry and in the end it was really hectic. There was no relaxed atmosphere or time to enjoy the delicacies in peace, which left our group quite dismayed. What a shame!

One of our favorite restaurants in Zurich. The truffle brioche and the field „caviar“ are perennial favorites of ours — can recommend to anyone looking for a fine dining experience in Zurich!

A perfect and enjoyable evening, the food was perfect and competent and very friendly service.

Fabian Fuchs and his team know how to delight us again and again with their exciting and tasty creations, as well as the great and informal atmosphere. We'll definitely be back!

Wonderful. Nice service...gladly again

Way too expensive. There were a total of 4 guests that evening. The best thing would be a home-style restaurant again, then the place would run smoothly.

Price-performance not at all in relation to both the food and the wine. Went to Tavolata hungry when we left the restaurant and paid 350 for 2 people. The food was otherwise very creatively prepared and there was something new but that was it. Unfortunately we won't be coming back.

Food, Service, Ambiance, 5/5. Already visited this restaurant twice, in summer and autumn, and my initial opinion is confirmed: simply perfect! By far the best restaurant of my life. Just thank you!

Vegetarian or vegan food at a high level 👌 I will definitely visit again and I would be happy to recommend it to anyone who wants to treat themselves or their friends to a meat-free meal.

The food is amazing, innovative, delicious. The service is very behind standard of a Michelin star. We wait too long for our table, they offer the "special" without mentioning the price, no special advice for the wine....

Ridiculous wine prices When I studied the prices on the wine list I first thought they were magnum bottles, but no, they are 7.5dl bottles. Few wines are priced below CHF 100, most cost between CHF 200 and 400 per bottle, mind you for average wines. When I found a bottle of Pinot Grigio on the wine list for over CHF 200, I almost had to laugh. This pricing policy is really a rip-off, so I'm deducting a star from my rating. Apart from that, the food was very tasty and creative, definitely worthy of the Michelin star. Overall, however, the dishes were too greasy for me. Serving fried sweet potatoes covered in a thick sauce is a bit overkill for my taste. Nevertheless, it was a great experience and I enjoyed food that I had never had before. The restaurant is a big hype at the moment, so make sure you make a reservation.

The place to go to experience a truly elevated vegetarian cuisine. What is interesting is the combination of traditional swiss interiors, which remind a typical stube or chalet, with the modern and innovative vegetarian cuisine, performed by a young group of chefs. The menu is made of different dishes to share or you can opt for a tasting menu with the chef’s selection. We ordered á la carte and every dish was delicious and based on seasonal and local ingredients. I highly suggest the veggie caviar, as well as the pumpkin (loved the plating), but also the butter bread with truffle. Also the risotto with spelt and mushroom was not the usual risotto, it was unique in its texture and richness of flavours and spices. Compared to other vegetarian restaurants, I appreciated the combination of different cuisines, using flavours and techniques from asian traditions, mixing with typical swiss and european ingredients. Also the portions were very gentle and there was the right balance of fats and proteins. The staff was very nice and attentive and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Highly recommended not only for vegetarians but also for flexitarians curious to experience new trends

Pure enjoyment. In the mouth and in the eyes. Cooking vegan isn't easy, and the new tavern has never disappointed my partner and me. We can only say that about two restaurants that we visit often in Zurich. So hats off. Keep it up!

Very tasty food and friendly service! The concept is a bit unusual, but allows you to try different dishes and it's really worth it. A big plus is that everything is vegetarian.

Usually, I'm a lover of good meat, but this meal gave me unparalleled pleasure and excitement. Everything is captivating, aesthetically pleasing and well presented. Our taste buds dance with emotion with each bite. A remarkable address without a doubt. Congratulations on the Michelin star! We were there before this great recognition, but we were convinced that it was going to happen. It is well deserved!

Neue Taverne, a vegan and vegetarian establishment in Zurich, Switzerland, has garnered significant attention from gastronomy enthusiasts worldwide. The restaurant's menu offers a contemporary reinterpretation of vegetarian and vegan gastronomy. Seasonally changing, the following are some of the most popular items on the menu: Beet carpaccio accompanied by goat cheese and mint; stuffed mushrooms stuffed with herbs and Parmesan; and grilled eggplant accompanied by hummus and pomegranate. Risotto with saffron and mushrooms, pasta tossed with tomato sauce and pesto, and baked cauliflower accompanied by mashed potatoes and vegetables comprise the main courses. The desserts comprise vegan chocolate mousse, lemon tart with whipped cream, and chocolate cake with raspberries. Neue Taverne also offers an extensive wine list, including several vegan and vegetarian options. Consistently, the restaurant provides outstanding service. Be it dish or wine selection advice, the attentive and cordial staff is delighted to offer it. The restaurant exudes a warm and inviting ambiance. The restaurant features a cozy dining area housed in a historic structure. Neue Taverne is an exceptional dining establishment that provides delectable fare and an unparalleled gastronomic encounter. It is highly recommended to anyone in Zurich searching for a vegetarian or vegan eatery. Particular aspects of my dining experience at Neue Taverne that I enjoyed: The cuisine was truly splendid. The dishes were extraordinarily flavorful, artistically executed, and inventive. The baked cauliflower and beet carpaccio were my favorites in particular. The wine list was impressively extensive. With their extensive expertise, the sommeliers assisted me in selecting the ideal wine to complement my meal. Exceptional service was provided. They exceeded my expectations for a memorable dining experience by being considerate and cordial while serving me. The ambiance within the restaurant exuded sophistication and refinement. I was partaking in a truly exceptional dining experience. I would like to extend my sincere recommendation for an unforgettable dining experience in Zurich: Neue Taverne. Indeed, the restaurant is of international caliber.

The evening was a great experience. The food was incredibly good and creative, everyone was impressed. Individual intolerances were also taken into account. The drinks accompaniment is relatively expensive, but contains very creative and good drinks! What was rather negative was that the table for 5 people was relatively narrow and small. Otherwise everything was great, really worth a visit.

Delicious food, but the service does not reflect the restaurant.

I enjoyed a delicious, memorable vegetarian dinner last night. Definitely demonstrates it's well deserved Michelin rating. Service was friendly and efficient. The wine pairing was perfect.

The food at the new taverna is excellent. All dishes are for sharing and are fantastically prepared. I can highly recommend the restaurant!

The food was extremely tasty and innovative. The service was basically very good, but there was a misunderstanding when making the reservation. At the beginning the reaction from the staff was not very friendly and not really understanding. But we were then offered vegetarian caviar as an apology. Otherwise great. Would love to come back.

Unfortunately, we are very disappointed with our visit to the Neue Taverne. My guests and I were really looking forward to this visit and our expectations were high. We had two vegans with us and decided to order the Vegan Tavolata for everyone. Unfortunately, not a single course could convince us. Everything was 'fine', but that was it. None of the courses made me or my guests say 'Wow, that tastes great'. The taste was rather basic. I wondered all evening whether the vegetarian menu would have been a better choice. If so, perhaps you shouldn't offer the vegan menu. The competition for vegan fine dining in Zurich has become very strong in recent years and if you can't keep up with this level, you may want to take it off the menu or adjust the price. The sharing concept didn't convince me either. When it comes to a tavolata served to the whole table, I imagine something different than the two plates for four people to share. Unfortunately, the service didn't make this experience any better. At first he was nice, but after a while they didn't seem to be interested in us anymore. During two courses the service forgot that we had ordered the vegan menu and explained vegetarian ingredients. When I asked whether we had now switched from the vegan to the vegetarian menu, they apologized and said that it was vegan. We weren't given more water once. I asked about the spice/flour when making sourdough bread and was told he would have to ask the kitchen about it. I didn't get an answer all evening. On top of that, we were still hungry after the surprise menu. When I go out to eat in this price range, I definitely expect more.

If you know what is a; good vegan and vegetarian food is, you shouldn’t go there and pay so much money for the food they served.. there was only 2 dish which were tasting a bit special inside of 6 different course they served. Unfortunately I waste of money. We were all disappointed.

You don't eat like this every day! Very good food, friendly service and a relaxed atmosphere 👍 we'll be back.

Excellent cuisine. Top-class vegetarian dishes. Excellent price-performance ratio. Very competent and friendly service.

Gem of a place. Really great value and very distinctly beautiful dishes. Great vegetarian dishes.

Great restaurant with very fine and extremely creative vegetarian menus.

Part of the food is disgusting and the service is inattentive. Overpriced scam for some cheap mashed veggies.

Great vegetarian restaurant. Artists in the kitchen and top service. It's not cheap, but it's worth it. Gladly again

The service was outstanding & the food is absolutely delicious! The only thing to mention is that outdoor seating is not very comfortable.

A really great experience - we have rarely eaten such a diverse and clever vegetarian diet. The absolute highlight was the salad on the couscous. Keep it up, dear ones!

Miserable reception, arrogant and callous service staff. Not recommended.

We had a great dinner at ‚Neue Taverne‘! The restaurant offers a wide variety of different vegetarian and vegan foods. We opted for the Tavolata which has to be preordered during the reservation. The food was very delicious, freshly made and the service just lovely. The restaurant itself is beautiful in a nice area.

Expensive a little for long waiting and allowance to street musicians to play music there. Food was OK.

Food was a bit disappointing. Only vegetarian food, which I felt was a letdown. The food looked good, but the taste was mediocre. I've have had lot better vegetarian dishes before. Service however was great! Friendly and attentive.

Very fine food, great wines and great service, who noticed that we were celebrating a Geburi and brought a small cake with a sparkler for dessert.

You have to try the “Caviar of the field”! Recommend to order one per person - its sooo good! The perfect trilogy of fluffiness between truffle / parmesan & bread is the “Milk Bread” For Drinks i really enjoyed the “Stachelbeer Spritz” and the “Rose marry me” with extra gin ;) Enjoy!

Food is ok. The service is pretty good.

One of the best vegetarian restaurant I have ever been to

The best restaurant in Zurich. Fantastic food, taste and presentation of the dishes always great, vegan menu available on request, nice staff and prices not exorbitant. Champagne by the glass is also highly recommended. Definitely go!

Best vegetarian in town! Excellent service!

Excellent service. Super tasty and beautiful looking dishes. Harmonious kitchen team (which can be observed from the dining room. Except for 2 cocktails, which we couldn't drink because they didn't suit our taste at all, everything was wonderful. Thank you very much for that. We'll definitely be back :)

This location's handling of food allergies is below industry standards, and I simply would not recommend this place for anybody with allergies. My partner and I booked a tasting menu days in advance, specifying her (severe) food allergies very clearly. The booking was confirmed. But when sitting down for dinner, the staff informed us -- not very politely -- that the house has a policy to never adjust the tasting menu to accommodate allergies, and that we simply couldn't take the tasting menu. This is quite unusual for higher-end gastro places. (Our experiences is rather that chefs are quite excited to tune and adjust, and want feedback on those experiments). Worst case, we understand if tweaking things may be too challenging for the kitchen due to philosophy or other constraints, but at the very least we would have expected a call ahead of time to let us know that this wouldn't be possible. We had an a la carte experience, which was OK, but by no means the dinner we had planned for.

Top 3 dining experience of my entire life. My group ordered everything on the menu and it was all amazing.

Anyone looking for a vegan or vegetarian taste experience will like it here. The dishes are prepared lovingly and with a lot of creativity, and the service is top. Of course the whole thing has its price but it is absolutely worth it. I will gladly come again.

The atmosphere was rather snobbish, but you cannot escape that in Zürich. But the food was wonderful. We had a vegan tavolata with a "caviar" fingerlimette starter (we are not vegan). The balance of flavours was exquisite, the course timing perfect ,and the portions satisfying. For example, the exact use of truffe without abuse made the dish mindblowing. There was a taco dish with oyster mushroom and maize, and being a mexican I was highly skeptical of it. But it was an amazing, novel melange of flavours. The least interesting dish for us was the lentil tempeh, and still that set a very high lower boundary. A total recommendation for anyone willing to explore new flavour combinations. Totally worth the price.

At Neue Taverne, a very well executed concept, run by a closely-knit professional team, guarantees a wonderful food experience. This restaurant deserves your attention.

Great vegan/vegetarian menu, possibly the best lunch in Zurich

I’ve been many times and it never disappoints. With way the team prepares vegetables, it would be easy to be a vegetarian. Service is always friendly. Cocktails are seasonal and delicious. Good prices for the high quality.

We spent a very nice evening here. Food and service is at an absolutely top level. We'll definitely be back.

Full marks, no question, simply sensational, what a feast for the senses ♥️ Thank you

The vegetarian Kaviar simply blown my mind. Amazing desserts and service. Great place!

The vegan tasting menu for dinner here was utterly fantastic. Everything was beautifully prepared, delicious, and 100% plant-based. Great service and nice spot to sit outside. Two thumbs up!

Wonderful evening with many culinary delicacies and world-class service: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for Shirley! The Tavolata with the wine accompaniment is highly recommended. I'll be back.

We're not vegetarians, but this was one of the best meals we've ever had!

Very very fine! And great wine selection.

I had high expectations for this restaurant, particularly given the Michelin star, but was unfortunately somewhat disappointed. The food was certainly good, however it was not exceptional as one would expect at that price point.

A very interesting cuisine. Fine and distinguished, well-designed and well-thought-out menus. The concept is also a very special one. We were able to enjoy the evening very much and were spoiled with culinary delights.

Top concept with very tasty vegetarian and mostly even vegan dishes. The selection is manageable but when it comes to quality you are spoiled for choice. The presentation is top, as is the combination and intensity of the flavors. And the quiet, car-free place in the middle of Zurich is the icing on the cake. Gladly again!

The four of us had a wonderful evening in the new tavern. The selection of dishes is great - we chose the Tavolata, where you can get many delicious different courses. Each one encourages conversation and is a journey of discovery in itself. The recommended wine accompaniment was also suitable - there was a small error in the billing, but that can happen. The ambience was also cozy.

The best vegetarian dishes I have ever eaten. Tried every dish on the menu. Love it.

Great food in an easy going and lively setup with friendly and professional staff. Thanks for the experience

Friendly staff and very cozy atmosphere. The dishes are incredibly creative and delicious. We'd love to come back!

Nice vegetarian lunch in the old part of Zurich. Excellent sourdough bread and beautifully cooked asparagus with a truffle butter sauce. Attentive, friendly service

Very good creative cuisine in a relaxed atmosphere.

The staff could not have been more friendly! They spoke perfect English to explain all the meals - some of the best vegetarian dishes we’ve had! Definitely recommend tasting menu

[Visited May 2nd & 9th 2023] Neue Taverne is most probably one of the very best restaurants I have ever visited in my life. I am not easily impressed so I am delighted to recommend "Neue Taverne" to anyone that devours food. The Micheline Star Restaurant ticks all the boxes from the extremely attentive and lovely staff to an adorable and open kitchen design that lets you see the chefs in action - and boy do they deliver! You will find food that is unlike anything you have ever had before because they play with everything mother nature has to offer (minus the meat). If you are a meat person, give it a try, you will not believe what the team is able to create but if you really do crave any sort of meat I recommend Bauernschänke which is their second restaurant but Neue Taverne is my fav! The menu changes frequently and its based on the season so you will most probably not find what I had in Q2 of 2023 but they understand how to create eatable art and you will be impressed. There are some evergreens in the menu such as the bread and the "Kaviar of the fields" but if you happen to come in May try the Polenta and the Ricecakes. But let me be frank, you can't go wrong with anything you order anyway. With regards to the prices, quality has its price and if you are just going for filling up your stomach (this ain't your place) as you will end up paying more than you most probably wanted. I would say if you consider 2 dishes and a drink you will be in the range of 60 CHF per person. Add one more dish and something more extravaganza and you will end up with 80-100 CHF per person. Heck, if you add wine you know the drill. Verdict: An absolute must have - please book a table (no need to book weeks in advance but don't come random unless you are on your own. The food is one of its kind and you will leave Neue Taverne wanting to go back. It's on my must visits in Zurich and I will remain a returning customer. What I have ordered (and what I recommend, however it was one dish too much, maybe ditch the bread) + Water + Thyme of my Life (non alc. cocktail) + Bread with dip + Kaviar of the Fields + Polenta + Rice cakes + Espresso Total: 112 CHF -- You will also see dishes from my other visit (not part of the above) but still highly recommended.

It was really a great and successful evening in the new tavern. We chose the Tavolata and were thrilled! Noticed positively: High quality of service, friendly and attentive service, detailed explanation of the menu, high quality food and tasty drinks. The pictures speak for themselves, gladly again!

We have had the surprise menu which was really nice.

Young friendly team. The cool kind of restaurant with excellent vegan cuisine. Beautifully prepared, excellent menu ideas, really recommended. THE restsurant, plus a beautiful outdoor space above Bahnhofstrasse. Go and enjoy. In any case, we would be happy to come back

We had high expectations, but left the restaurant disappointed in the evening. The surprise menu was not cheap at 105.- and left us hungry at the end. There were 2 small bowls per course. Barely enough for women with small appetites but impossible enough for a man. Unfortunately, service was the worst of the entire evening. Very friendly but not competent, food served without cutlery, empty plates left in front of the guest for 30 minutes, refills of individual orders of a glass of white wine when the first glass was still half full, because we were so hungry at the beginning, we had bread with the fine sauce Ordered additionally, this was charged extra at 7.-. Bread, salt and pepper usually belong on the table without being asked

Wonderful food and very accommodating of various dietary preferences.

Excellent food, interesting menu format and attentive and warm service. Will come again, thank you

The “restaurant game” begins with the greeting: the first few minutes determine the quality of the evening. But you don't have to worry here, because Sarah and Simon and their team have the sensitivity of artists. We were treated to unprecedented accompaniment through the aisles - a sensory journey full of culinary masterpieces. The vegetarian meal itself was a combination of creativity and finesse that took us on a journey full of unexpected flavor combinations. The construct of textures and spices was a bold masterpiece that made every course an extraordinary experience. This is not just about satiety, but about experiencing taste, art and sophistication. The wine list was also very decent - from natural sparkling wines to the classic Pinot Noir. But the real treat were the sommeliers, who thrilled us with their in-depth knowledge and passion for the fine wines. Their recommendations rounded off the culinary experience perfectly. However, what really sets the restaurant apart is the concept of “sharing”. Sharing food and experiences is celebrated here - a true joy for the soul and the stomach. If you don't know this gastronomy yet, you're definitely missing something special. We look forward to another visit and very much hope that the standard of one MICHELIN star can be maintained.

The morchels are the star. A vegetarian Michelin concept which doesn't explain things too much. Lovely to be able to order your dishes. Ania's favorite was the rice cakes, which she would call sour rice cakes. Because they have peanuts and sourness. Bread was nice, but isn't all warm bread?:) Beetroot tartar has a little too much perfume from the pickled ginger, wasabi and onion. And now, the morchels. Perfectly combination with rice, which has some crispiness and cooked all dente. Truffle brioche was also very tasty on the milk bun. Very nicely looking. We also tried their most expensive red wine on their menu. And I think it tastes like any other 1er cru. I would expect a little more when deciding to pay 280 for a bottle. Especially that the wine brand owner recommends enjoying it until 2022.

I'm going to have a delicious meal there again

I had dinner at Neue Taverne last saturday and it was a lovely experience. Everything was fresh, tasty and imaginative, but not in an annoyingly fancy way - just very good food prepared lovingly. The place is surprisingly quiet considering it was booked out, and everyone working there was very friendly. We had cocktails to begin - I particularly recommend the Lemon Tree, which is sweet and citrusy and a nice way to start the meal. The starter was crunchy radishes with a nice green sauce, and really good bread with a lentil dip. I particularly enjoyed one of the heartier courses, which was a little potato gratin with these sauteed japanese mushrooms on top. The braised leek was wonderful too, and there was also a little dish of stuffed onion with a tangy beet broth that I liked a lot. The use of miso and soy sauce in several dishes added a very welcome touch of umami. The dessert was unusual but fantastic - an apple sorbet with a coconut espuma and a compote underneath. The whole meal was light but nourishing, We left very contented and vowed to come back.

WOW is all I can say! Flabbergasted and blown away. And this was for lunch... Amazing flavors, exploding in your mouth yet elegant. We took all the dishes on the menu and shared it (5 of us). It was a true experience. I am looking forward to dinner!

Distinguished haute cuisine - non pretentious place - delicious nature wine selection

Had a wonderful evening with friends: Menu & Wine Pairing a MUST!
