The vegetarian restaurant of this centuries-old building near the Hofkirche is open from 11:30 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. every day of the year. Meals are prepared from organic ingredients, and specialties range from sautéed tofu cutlets to homemade basil gnocchi with eggs poached in tomato fondue.

Goetheanum Dornach
Dorneckstrasse 2, Dornach (near Basel)
"Combining vegetarian dining with a vegetarian experience?" asks Evelyne Mock of Switzerland Tourism. "It's possible at the Goetheanum Dornach, where during a meal guests can also find out about the teachings and life of Rudolf Steiner, founder of the anthroposophical movement."  The restaurant and café offer "a culinary tour through the vegetarian world," according to The Vegetarian Pages of Switzerland (see below).
