Filling. Healthy.

I had breakfast here during a full break day (for me) in Zurich. I had the tofu scramble bagel, which came with a side salad. I ate around 9am, and the portion was enough to keep me full for an entire day of walking around the city. The salad was fresh and crunchy. The tofu scramble was good. The bagel itself cannot compete with the famous bagel locations of the world, but it was fine. Restaurant atmosphere is OK. A solid 4 all around:-)

Pros: Filling, Fresh

Cons: Not fully vegan

Tasty, but not really plant-based

The food at Beetnut is overall very nice, and the portions are quite generous (and yes, pricey). The cozy atmosphere filled with live plants is also lovely, as well as the big selection of gluten-free options. That being said, it's frustrating to advertise as "plant-based" but serve cheese (halloumi and feta), eggs, and salmon (as an add-on). There's even at least one dish on the menu with a vegan label, which actually contains fried egg (huevos rancheros).

Pros: Tasty food, Cozy atmosphere, Gluten-free options

Cons: Not really plant-based, Some menu items mislabeled

Healthy & yummy

I was very happy with my teriyaki bowl! Everything was fresh & the food was prepared very quickly (it wasn’t that busy tho). Also I really liked the vibe with all the plants!

Pros: Healthy food options, Nice interior

Cons: Ice tea tasted more like cold herb tea

Ok, but expensive and confusing

Nice atmosphere and decent menu but it was a bit confusing. There are signs everywhere about "plant-based" food, but they do serve fish and cheese as well.

We had the vegan chilli dog and Beetnut burger, which were very filling. They did have an odd wasabi-based aftertaste that I don't think worked. We also had hot chocolate, but we were given a mug of milk and a packet to make it ourselves, bit cheeky and produced quite a weak drink.

Also, very expensive but that's Switzerland for you.

Great atmosphere, , good food, too pricey

The atmosphere was great, but the food was too pricey, especially when comparing it to the portion.

A lot of vegan options

Despite calling itself plantbased, this restaurant serves dairy, eggs and Norwegian farmed salmon. Most dishes are vegan by default though, with the option to add non-vegan items. My food was fine but nothing exceptional. Probably not the best spot for a burger, as healthy bowls seem to be their specialty.

Sehr lecker! 😋

Ich bin auf meiner Durchreise durch Zürich, auf dieses Lokal aufmerksam geworden. Ein wirklich kleiner schicker Laden mit tollem Essen, sehr moderner Bestellmöglichkeit und wirklich nette Personal.

Pros: Einrichtung, Nettes Personal

Great tofu scramble

This place is fully vegetarian with plenty of vegan options. I went for the scrambled tofu bagel and friends went for the vegan tuna, vegan smoked salmon and açai bowl and all were delicious. Have to admit I really didn’t like the coffee, it tasted very acidic.

Pros: Tofu scramble, QR code to order, Atmosphere

Cons: Coffee

Would only come back for desserts

Tried their scrambled tofu breakfast plate and it was average. Coffee was pretty bad. But their tiramisu was delicious so would only come back for a dessert and tea, not food.

Somewhat bland

[Visited June 2024]
Tried the strawberry matcha latte, chili, toast with vegan salmon, and pancakes. The matcha should be much stronger (for the price of 8.50CHF!) and the chili was a bit bland. The vegan salmon toast and pancakes were quite nice. You have to order on your phone.

Amazing vegan lunch

I had the toast with carrot lox, which was incredible. My husband had the chili dog and our friend loves the burger. Everything was excellent and our server was super nice.
Bonus points for outside tables.
I wish I could give them 5 stars.

Delicious vegan bowls

There's so many delicious vegan options it's hard to chose. I need to go back for more. The açaí bowl is delicious and refreshing.

Pros: Beautiful place to sit & relax, Fluffiest pancakes, Great choice

Cons: Serves dairy & eggs & some salmon

Really nice for breakfast

The pancake weren’t too sweet and the toasts were tasty. I can also recommend their golden milk and the crispy tofu on the side!

Well located

We had a « tuna » salad and it was good but too much dressing, not fantastic. We also had a blue smoothie bowl but no taste (too cold I guess). Otherwise I had two bowls of the day with TooGoodToGo and it was very tasty, so it depends.

Yummy pancakes

Big portion sizes. Got the berry pancakes. The toppings and sauce were great. Not my favourite kind of pancakes but they were still good. The avocado toast was also good.

They don't skimp on toppings

Ordered the berry pancakes and a cappuccino. The cappuccino was smaller than I was expecting but very good. The pancakes... The pancakes! Absolutely covered in berries, nuts and chocolate sauce. Divine!

You order through a QR code at the table which makes the whole experience simple.😄

Pros: Portion size

Gutes Frühstück

Eine große Auswahl an veganen Frühstücksoptionen. Man bestellt übers Handy und bekommt dann alles an den Tisch gebracht. Wir hatten zwei Mal den Bagel mit Scrambled Tofu, dieser hätte gerne etwas würziger sein können. Das vegane Croissant war leider sehr trocken. Würde trotzdem wiederkommen und die anderen Optionen probieren.

Great place for some healthy food in the centre

Beetnut is close to the main train station and has great opening hours. It's open from 9 am on a Sunday, which is rare in Zürich!

It has a beautiful interior and very friendly staff.

It has many vegan options, including various sweet and savoury bowls, salads, smoothies, pancakes and more.

I had an oatmylk latte, which was great.

Pros: Many healthy vegan options, Great design, Friendly staff

Excellent organic food with nice vegan options

Nice place close to the main station. Offers a variety of tasty bowls and sandwiches, awesome coffee as well as branded sustainable containers for food and drinks as merchandise. Cosy atmosphere - tables are arranged nicely and the whole location is decorated with plants.
Although every single bit is enjoyable and tasty, it's definitely a remarkable amount of money you'll spend there. Nevertheless it's absolutely worth it.
