Located in a trendy alternative area of Zürich, the Samses restaurant is an imaginative, thriving restaurant with excellent vegetarian food plus several vegan options.

We picked up this place for a group lunch because few people were vegetarians. I am not vegetarian myself, so I was a bit skeptical, but... The food was just amazing! Tasty and intriguing. The owners were always kind - even with such a big group, more than 20 people- and the service was excellent. Highly recommended!!

Veggie only, but ages away from Tibits quality. Smoke free and casual athmosphere.
