When I first think of Zurich, I don't expect it to be a hub for vegetarian and vegan cuisine. Yet, wandering through its charming Old Town and modern streets, I discover a vibrant meat-free food scene. It seems fitting for a city known for its social progress, especially with ETH Zurich fostering start-ups that innovate with plant-based 'meats.' While there are dedicated veggie restaurants, many places embrace flexitarians, featuring delicious vegetables with optional dairy or meat. From raclette to creative plant-based dishes, the culinary offerings in Zurich delight every palate.
