An armory restaurant Zeughauskeller

Zurich government armory

Zeughauskeller, which existed before Columbus discovered America, was once a Zurich government armory when it was built in 1487, and it witnessed the changes in Swiss history. Ninety years ago, it was transformed into the coolest restaurant in Zurich, with a menu in eight languages including Chinese, among which there are many Zurich specialties such as "Zürcher Geschnetzeltes" (sliced beef with mushrooms in Zurich) and "Bürgermeister Schwert" (kebabs roasted with the mayor's sword). There are decorations such as guns, cold weapons and armor in the restaurant, and there is a sense of history in which time and space are intertwined.

Hiltl

can be said to be a pilgrimage site for vegetarians. Hiltl, which opened in 1898, occupies the position of the first vegetarian restaurant in the world in Guinness World Records. Hiltl, which has always been family-run, was initially called Vegetarierheim (German means "vegetarian house"), and was taken over by Ambrosius Hiltl in 194. Hiltl has severe rheumatoid arthritis. After three months of vegetarianism, his condition improved and he became an advocate of vegetarianism. Hitl, located on the street corner and on the upper and lower floors, has a self-selected area and a single-point area. The former provides hundreds of vegetarian options and is priced by weight. The single-point environment is elegant and suitable for small gatherings. The Hitl family is good at business. The restaurant introduced Indian specialties to innovate the traditional European menu, and then expanded from Switzerland to London to open a chain of light vegetarian chain Tibits by Hiltl.
