Too expensive for what it is - Edit
We dinned at NOW in early March.
Read moreThe restaurant has a somewhat industrial / hipster feel to it, which is stylish, but doesn’t provide a very warm atmosphere in the evening. The service was fine, although we felt like the vibe was a bit off from the beginning.
The food was good, but nothing out of the ordinary. There weren’t any unusual or interesting flavor associations and the dishes were pretty unremarkable, despite the promising menu that got us there in the first place. The “Blattspinat Salat” was an ok starter and the “Pas de boeuf Bourguignon” did its job veganizing a traditional dish. The club sandwiches were a huge letdown, as they were quite bland, somewhat unbalanced and not easy to eat either due to their small size. The desserts sounded interesting on the menu, but we really only enjoyed the icing on the carrot cake and the small pieces of meringues. Their homemade bread was not to our taste.
The biggest issue we had with the restaurant was that the prices didn’t match the quality and quantity of the food offered. The dishes weren’t bad on overall, but they didn’t justify their inflated prices, especially the mains. We are used to paying a bit more in Zurich and vegan dishes often come with a premium, but in this case it was a bit exaggerated and didn’t match our expectations. We ate à la carte and cannot judge the value for money provided by their tasting menu experience or their lunch menu.

Food was tasty, the venue is quite cozy with a small outdoor seating area. Menu is in german but if you ask they will translate.

5 course dinner for a reasonable price - Edit
We had the 5 course menu which was really good and the price very reasonable for Zürich. Only downside is that the portions are quite small.

Delicious food but a bit pricey for the portion size - Edit
If you come with the intention of eating a minimum of three course meals, you will be delighted. Creative and organic food, on the pricier side but worth it for a special occasion. Wouldn't recommend for casual dining in a "one-meal and you're full" kind of way, the portions of the main courses are too small for that. Nice interior design, the music was a tad too loud. Unisex bathrooms and LGBTQ friendly. Friendly and knowledgeable staff.

Outstanding food, regional & bio produce, hip ambiance - Edit
This newly vegan restaurant is a must! Wonderful balanced and seasonal menu with tasty regionally sourced organic products. Great, friendly and attentive staff, and good prices. Small menu, which caters to a range of tastes and desires. Perfect balance achieved between cool, friendly ambiance, plus the tastes of fine dining without the hauteur or expense. Small enough to keep quality high. A gem in Zurich. Options for alcohol free pairings. #Veganuary

Very vegan aware, very tasty, great presentation - Edit
We were there at lunchtime and the way the food is served is quite peculiar: You get some of the ingredients on the side and you can decide you don't want the coriander in your food. The lunch menu comes with a vegan dessert. The curry was very good, while the hamham is probably good, too, but personally I didn't like the (smoked?) eggplant taste too much. Reduced menu at lunchtime but vegan options guaranteed.
Read moreEDIT: Now fully vegan but no longer Vietnamese. Only offers one option at lunchtime, which in our case was ground corn and well made. To avoid food waste, they serve small portions with option for supplement, which is okay, but the supplement was on the small side, too.

Very delicious! - Edit
Lots of local and seasonal ingredients and very vegan-aware zero waste approach. You get a choice of three starters, three mains and three desserts that change as the seasons do.

4.5 stars - Edit
All dishes are vegan and contain lots of local and seasonal vegetables. No meat substitutes are used.
Read moreI enjoyed the atmosphere and the friendly service. I really appreciated being asked if we wanted a little break between the courses. My starter (fried wheat balls with safron-celery puree) was mind blowing delicous. The main course (celery ravioli) didn't taste quite as good to me as the starter, but was also ok
