The food is good, but EXTREMELY expensive. It's terrible that there's an app requirement for such a simple function as 'Too Good To Go'. Shame on you, data collectors! read more

Looking for a dinner spot with fresh food, we loved this vegetarian restaurant. The food is classy buffet style with diverse, creative food explained with signs in German and English. At the register, the price is set by how much your plate weighs. They sell drinks and wine too. The space itself is huge with two levels of seating in a beautiful space. There's even a kids area with games and books! read more

See all

Terrific vegan buffet (with bar!) in the heart of old town Basel, Switzerland! Went there for my birthday, with a bunch of non vegans, and everyone enjoyed it! Says a lot. read more

Pricy but well made Vegan food. Self service buffet & pleasant atmosphere. It's tempting to try to many dishes as there's an excellent variety. read more

Great vegetarian/vegan place! Tons of options no matter your mood. You pay by weight which is interesting if you want to try everything and pile your plate! Only gripe is the food gets cold while waiting for drinks and to pay. read more

Okay, I'm not a vegetarian. But the food was so savory, fresh and filling...that didn't make a difference. Pricey, but worth it. You can get a small plate and sample. It is a great place to linger. Very comfy eating area. read more

tibits - Plate of Deliciousness! - Vegetarian Near Me - Basel, BS

Love this place, basically it's a huge salad and hot food bar where you get stuff by weight. Very fun foods and quite healthy. I think it's all vegetarian or vegan but I'm not sure, I know I got all veggie items :) read more

I'm in Basel for a few days and had Tidbits recommended to me by some locals. I walked a pretty far distance to get to the restaurant at 9:30pm. Although yelp says it closes at 10pm, the lady at the door told me to get my food quickly because they were closing soon. So I go over to the buffet table to get my food, and just as I'm getting ready to get a dish, one of the workers takes it away. Seriously? You won't even give me a chance to get a plate and sit down? When I asked him to give me a second to get something, he just turned around and said "We're closed". I was literally right in front of the food he was talking away. He could've easily let me get a plate. I'm leaving Basel tomorrow, but I definitely won't be back to this place if I ever come back. read more

What a lucky find! Amazingly delicious vegetarian and vegan options. It is buffet style, which is great so that you can try everything. The only problem was my (rather large) dinner plate or my stomach was big enough! You pay by weight. I wish we had this in NY too. Highly recommend to those vegans in Basel looking for non-cheese meals! read more

Fantastic vegetarian meal - even for carnivores! World tour of colors, tastes, and textures. Wine and beer available by the glass. Food is chosen by you at the buffet area, then weighed at the end (curiously, bread doesn't count and is removed before weighing). A plate of food full but not overloaded will run around 15 Swiss francs. Great first experience for me... read more

tibits - Something for everyone! - Vegetarian Near Me - Basel, BS

For choice this place gets 4 stars. We had Sunday brunch here and there was a lot of variety on the buffet and as you pay by weight you could get what you wanted and pay for it. The flavours were ok and unfortunately many of the dishes were quite venigary and lacked a bit of flavour. It is also an expensive place however that is common in Switzerland. I like the idea of the place and great to see a vegetarian restaurant with such a wide selection of dishes for vegetarians. I would come back here only because it is a vegetarian restaurant and the choice is great. read more

tibits - Vegetarian Near Me - Basel, BS

Very cute place in Switzerland! I like how you pay for what you take, and you can take a variety of items. Was nice to be out of my comfort zone and try new foods. Didn't think the prices were too high either, being that Switzerland can be an expensive country. Ended up visiting this place twice during our stay and loved the food both times. Great place!!! read more

Calling all vegetarian-averse foodies: this place wont disappoint even the most stubborn carnivore. I came here with my aunt for a quick bite before seeing Margin Call at the theater around the block. On first glance, the swanky outdoor seating and the modern lighting inside would have the uncritical passerby thinking tibits to be an upscale lounge. Once inside, the lone island of serving plates with a variety of seating options tells you this is not your average to-go establishment. Low key enough for any occasion. Try the bean salad (forget the German name) - you wont be sorry. Plus, you get one free bread roll. The college student that still lives inside me loves free bread rolls. read more

Excellent quality ingredients, great staff! First thing, take a quick tour of the entire buffet and then choose what you want...if you just start taking things, you'll end up with multiple plates, like I did!! (And then overeat, like i did!) Excellent labeling of all the food, veg, ovo, lacto, gluten, sugar, onions, kid friendly, etc.. Had dinner here, can't wait to try the breakfast. read more

This is a vegetarians dream so many veggie dishes to choose from. My fibre intake has went through the roof. It's a bit pricey but then if u want cheap crap food go to Tenerife. read more

I am a carnivore. An unabashed meat eater, a devourer of flesh (preferably cooked and non-human, please), I delight in sinking my teeth into a bloody steak. Nevertheless, I was very happy at this veggie paradise. The concept is simple, really -- in a way, it's just a glorified buffet that charges by the 1/10 of a kilo and happens to serve no meat products. And it's not altogether cheap -- as I recall, it's about 4.20CHF per 100g if you eat in, and 3.70 if you take it away (what I would recommend). But the items you'll find here are very nice. The food ranges from a number of salads and vegetable items to falafel and hummus, potato wedges, and tofu dishes. There's hot and cold here, so it's not just for a light snack. Another highlight is the selection of fruit smoothies and fruity alcoholic cocktails. I didn't have any of the cocktails as I had to drive afterwards, but the Tutti Frutti smoothie was delicious. Of course, it's Basel, so it was expensive. But I enjoyed everything I had from the bar except for the lentil salad (a little too vinegary) and walked away feeling full of delightfully fresh and light food. Highly recommended -- even for the carnivores! (Update Nov 7, 2010 - Fixed some typos) read more

First a disclaimer: I cannot believe how expensive Switzerland is!! This place is a very good option for a vegetarian like me. They usually have a wide variety of items on salad and buffet bar including dishes from Middle-east, North Africa and India. However, I was most impressed with the deserts and collection of juices :) FYI: The staff speaks and understands English (in case you were wondering) And hurray!! I can finally yelp in Switzerland!! the land of cows, cheese and chocolate :) read more

Mellow vibe. Clean delicious food. Perfect for the vegan or vegetarian living or traveling in Switzerland. The tofu w broccoli & olives is yum. The music and lighting provides a relaxing atmosphere. The staff have all been very friendly and helpful in every tidbits we've been to whether it was in Zurich, Bern or Basel. A great place to eat. read more

Was there on a Sunday for brunch a bit pricey, but what isn't in Switzerland. Food was very good, large assortment.

For a sunday stroll in center city a good place to go. Especially if you'r a family-friendly person. Wlan is for 30min. but you can ask for a second one anytime. read more

tibits - Always a nice decor. - Vegetarian Near Me - Basel, BS

Cafeteria style vegetarian restaurant with lots of flavorful choices and lots of tables. They weigh your plate and charge by weight. Desserts are also good. Reasonable prices for Basel. read more

As a vegan girl I love Tibits! Dishes are well labeled so you see whether it's vegan, vegetarian, glutenfree... It has a big variety of food from several countries. Staff is really friendly and young. read more

Really nice food, worth trying, especially if you have any kind of dietary requirements. All dishes on the large buffet are clearly marked whether they are vegan, contain gluten etc., and they have a selection of bread with/without gluten on the side. I liked the taste of the warm dishes the best, whereas the cold dishes were somewhat anonymous in taste, though very colourful. Best dish was a lentil salad. I brought a selection of food back with me to the hotel, but the atmosphere seemed very nice also for staying, even on a rainy autumn day. It does seem pricy, but I'm new in Basel, so I don't have local comparisons. read more

Yuuuum! Everything I had here was delicious. I recommend the buffet for sure. I had fun trying all sorts of food even if I didn't know exactly what it was. Mango lassi was also delish. read more

Tibits was very nice. My wife and I really enjoy eating their. The food was very fresh. When we are back in Basel we will go back to this vegetarian restaurant. read more

Always a good choice but expensive. Sundays brunch are the best day to eat in my opinion. They do tend to have the same food on the buffet every day. read more

This is a vegetarian place. NO MEAT (just to be absolutely clear). The food is tasty, and depending on how much you get affordable. If the waiters don't bring you to a seat, I suggest claiming a seat first, then go to the food area, grab a plate and select your food. Once you're done harvesting, go to the counter to weigh plate and purchase. As with all Swiss Restaurants, the staff speaks some English. Lastly, vegetarians stop eating my food's food. read more

I like going to Tibits whenever I feel vegetarian. It is trully a Veggie Paradise. The service is ok, the ambiance is nice. I like the Buffet concept. My favorites in here are the Quinoa salad, Red Beets salad, Tofu, Zuchini Casserole, Falafel, Stuffed Jalapenios, Carcioffi, Cous Cous. Just try to choose your food carefully as it can be expensive when you pay, ohhh but the piece of bread is free!!. I would go back again read more

We were glad when we found the tibits in Basel and enjoyed a delicious vegetarian meal. If you know the hiltl in Zurich, the tibits is the simpler and cheaper version that is perfect for your everyday consumption of healthy food. Will surely stop by at one of the restaurants soon again. read more

Stopped here for a bite to eat one weekend mid afternoon. Nice place, smart decor, not upscale, but no dive. Food was tasty and fresh. Definitely worth stopping by for some tasty treats or just a coffee. read more

Fresh, well prepared vegetarian fare. Go for the cauliflower, tofu salad and eggplant caviar. Buffet style, modern and clean with a very upscale type feel. Warning: switzerland is so expensive that even a plate at this fairly casual restaurant can be over twenty American dollars. Considering, I paid eight dollars for a Starbucks coffee, it was reasonable. read more

Great selection for vegetarians and for the health conscious. Buffet style and freshly prepared. High quality ingredients and well prepared foods. Good vibe. read more

Wonderful vegetarian buffet-style restaurant. Pay by weight, it's about 4.5€ per 100g so expect to spend about 20€ per dish, which unfortunately is the norm for Basel. However, the self ervice buffet has a delicious selection of veggie food from around the world, from indian to thai to morrocan dishes. You might expect to share a table as it's quite casual. The decor and ambience are great, but the staff were not that friendly (although you barely have to speak to them!). read more

(mostly) great vegetarian food. broad choice, always new things to try. very friendly staff. read more

Great selection, mostly vegan. Gluten, Soy, Dairy, Onions, Garlic and Spicy declared on each.

Excellent food! Great variety. Menu changes enough each night. Very fast to get in and out of. One of the better vegetarian options in Basel. read more

Very unique concept and delicious food. Prices are affordable compared to rest of Basel. Very comfortable and nice ambience.

we were looking for some interesting restoraunt in the center and we just bumped on this one - let' try! quite interesting choice of sauces,vegetables,pastas.. worth it! i even made my friend "meat eater" eat there and she liked ! nice terasse,self-service. read more

Really good vegetarian restaurant. Not all too cheap, but defenitely worth it.

We went there with the whole family (2+2) couple of weeks ago and - in addition to the expected "good food, great selection, nice atmosphere" what we experienced was that our son, who we feared would be highly disappointed - actually fell in love with most of the stuff we picked for him... Kudos! read more
