The buffet is amazing! You get to choose from a wide variety of options, most of which are vegan and taste deliciuos. What I loved the most was their vegan Cheesecake, and I was told they also had vegan Chocolate Mousse. It is a bit pricy but totally worht it. The staff is really really friendly and helpful and the... More

I visited this hotel after reading some of the reviews in this site. It is a small place and limited menu options. I found it food & service was great. As many reviewers already mentioned, you can't compare this restaurant with Hiltl, just because of the size and option. Personally i think this is one of the very good budget... More

I recently visited Samses with a group of friends, for an evening meal. Like other reviewers, I couldn`t help making comparisons to Hiltl - yet I found the friendliness and intimacy of this restaurant a far more pleasurable experience. The staff were very friendly and were quick to offer any advice regarding the food choices. I chose the self-service buffet... More

Samses is right at the Limmatplatz-end of bustling Langstrasse in Zürich. Lunch time is dominated by an ever-changing buffet - cold salads, several warm meals. Vegans find plenty of options here (so do vegetarians). The service is attentive and explains all different food options. The vegan Tiramisu and the vegan Mousse au Chocolat are to kill for - impossible to... More

As a fan of Hiltl and Tibits I was curious when I found out about the Samses. Reservation works good via e-mail, the place is easy to find and the interior is simple, but comfortable. We had two dishes from the menu, but the buffet also looked pretty yummy. When I was there I couldn't stop comparing with Hiltl and... More

This is a cute little hip restaurant. No problem, if you just want to grab a bite by yourself. It has a buffet, where you can choose what you want, they weigh it and you pay it. For switzerland the price is average (which means, it all appears too high for americans). The selection varies greatly and they have the... More

Of course my husband got the 4-5 star dish and I got the 1-2 star dish. He got the traditional swiss dish and I didn't. I got a pricey pasta dish in which the sauce was disgusting. A lot of people who got the buffet seemed happy. I read another rating stating that this restaurant is hit or miss and... More

This is a truly excellent vegetarian only restaurant. The staff is very friendly and you can sit at a low or high table or have take-away. There is a menu or what I prefer is the self service counter where a great selection of different foods is to be found, guaranteeing to never get bored as a vegetarian. They really... More

One of our party has a milk allergy and so we asked the waiter to rule out any dishes with milk products. We ordered only items that we were told were completely vegan. It was soon obvious that the waiter had made at least one mistake. The food was pretty tasty, though.
