Veggie Burger in Zurich?

Anyone know of anywhere you can get a decent vegetarian burger in Zurich? Preferably along the lines of the ones from Gourmet Burger Kitchen back in the UK (http://www.gbk.co.uk/menu/burgers/).

Re: Veggie Burger in Zurich?

What for? Do want one to be sent to London? And to be a bit more serious: I would be very much surprised if you fond such a thing here.

Re: Veggie Burger in Zurich?

Sorry, apart from McD's, there really don't seem to be many options, though I think if one asks, most places will probably be able to rustle up something to taste, as long as you are not in a hurry.

I do know that quite a few of the Kebab stands and similar places, do have some good vegi, pita/pocket bread options.

Matter of fact, the ones I have seen are really very good, they are made up as you want and generally, nice and fresh.
Downside being, they too, take somewhat longer.

Oh well, i guess, "if it's worth having, it's worth waiting".

On a completely different note, can't help but wonder why, in the vegi burger options in your link, they have bacon as an extra

I've never had a GBK, but you can find Tempeh, Tofu, Gluten and a host of other meat substitutes at health food stores.

One of the things Switzerland has taugh me is to cook from memory something that I miss here.

I've never had GBK either, but Hiltl has a veg burger. Which being carnivorous I also have never eaten but I still thought you might like to know:
http://www.hiltl.ch/en/restaurant.php?id=008

You also might try Zic-Zac, which also lists one on their website.

I had a bite of the zic-zac to taste and it wasn't nice, very greasy. I wouldn't bother anyway - go grab a falafel...its pretty much the same anyway, just more honest.

Precisely. Even as a meat eater, I often indulge in falafels and when done properly with the right sauces, they are outstanding.

Re: Veggie Burger in Zurich?

Where can you get a good falafel around? I live in Zug, but am willing to travel! Also, does anyone know where you can buy pita bread?

Re: Veggie Burger in Zurich?

I'm sure they'll do a good falafel in Zug somewhere and you won't have to travel. Both falafel and pita are so easy to make, and both benefit from being fresh. Grab a recipe off google and try your own!

Re: Veggie Burger in Zurich?

They sell pitta in most supermarkets.
Falafel is definitley closest to a veggie burger as I know them, and so easy to find (any of the many kebab shops or stalls) or to make.
