The oldest vegetarian restaurant in the world: Hitl, and what kind! Founded in 1898, the meatless cuisine enjoyed little respect among the population. What a difference with today! When you go to Zurich, not to be missed. Inspiring, sincere, appreciative and mindful. I have never ever seen so many different choices of vegetarian food in one place, and really they all looked tasty, and I am a pescatarian, with not specific vegetarian preferences.
