Bistro-Style with specials

Offers good Breakfast/Brunch and some Bistro-style dishes.
The house special is a vegan "Döner/Dürüm/Kebab", very much recommended.

This was one of my fav Vegan restaurants in Europe

I am so sad this restaurant closed. At some point in my life I would have to go to Zurich often for work, and I just loved having meals at Elle N' Belle! I heard the owners still have a Catering Business so to me it makes sense to still add this review of the many visits, even after it being closed.. because I believe that anything associated with this people will probably be as amazing as the restaurant was.

The venue was really big and had a very nice vibe, the food was top notch, I ate so many very good dishes there.. their vegan shawarma was the best I ever had, the vegan cordon bleu makes my mouth water just to think of it and so was everything else they cooked... I never had a bad meal there. The deserts were also super delicious, as was their home made red tea.

Really, so sad this doesn't exist anymore, I hope they eventually open a new restaurant.

Pros: Amazing food

Cons: The fact that they closed

Amazing food. Sadly turned up on their last night with no plans to reopen. Madness! It was one of the best vegan dining experiences I've had.

Last night of Elle ‘n Belle!?

I finally make it to Elle ‘n Belle and it’s their last night!? I’m so happy I got to try the Manson burger but I’m so disappointed that I won’t be able to try the rest of the menu 😩 This place has (had) a fun atmosphere and great tasting food and I really hope they open in another location!

Pros: Cool vibe , Great food

Cons: Pricey (..but it’s Switzerland 😄)

Amazing! ❤️

After a long day on a tour I was dropped off at the bus station. It was a 6 minute walk here. I was pleasantly surprised by the fun & funky restaurant. Everyone was super nice too! They gave me an English menu and were super helpful with all my questions. I ended up ordering the Bagel Burger with Sweet Potato French Frys. #amazing This was one of the BEST vegan burgers I have ever tasted!!! I ordered the Churro for dessert. So much goodness going on! Churro’s, ice cream, whipped cream & strawberry sauce were delicious!! I’m not a fan of chocolate...but it tasted like warm fudge...so good!!! I can’t wait to visit Zurich again..and I will always stop by & try new things here! A

Pros: All Vegan, One of the best Vegan Burgers ever, Really cool and fun atmosphere!!

A perfect vegan date night!

Our last night in Zurich, my boyfriend and I chose Elle N' Belle as our final meal. We are both music people who LOVE vegan food & cocktails so Elle N' Belle delivered. We were a tad disappointed on the wait to get seated. There wasn't anyone ahead of us and open tables so it was puzzling. Once seated, we were forgotten again as it must've been 10 minutes before we had a server. And, it was another 10 before our beers arrived. Slightly disappointed by the service but we weren't about to give up. I ordered the Irish pot pie and it was absolutely divine. It was savory & scrumptious -- the perfect comfort food as it was cold & rainy outside. My boyfriend ordered the Manson burger. It was definitely a hit too though we'd just had burgers in Italy the week before at half the cost that were just as good. The prices were eye-popping. (~$27 a burger) Still, we brushed it off as Zurich, a town in which I visit often because of family and know to be expensive. Overall, it was a GREAT experience and it was wonderful seeing a full-house of patrons. Alas, I later read on their website that they are closing their doors in Spring 2018 due to their lease coming up. I hope they figure out another avenue because it would be a pity to never be able to visit again.

Pros: Lively atmosphere, Creative cocktail menu, Delicious food

Cons: Slow service, Expensive (but to be expected in Zurich), Closing in Spring 2018 (?!)

Great Vegan Food in Switzerland

Elle N' Belle was truly a fantastic experience! I visited during a trip to Zurich the last week in November and the food was perfectly seasonal. You MUST try the cheese plate and be sure to ask for drink recommendations. The space is fresh, trendy/hipster, and even is dog friendly! The staff was helpful, friendly, and able make recommendations and answer all questions we had about drinks or the menu. It's definitely worth the trip if you're in Zurich to dine here! Food is amazing!

Pros: Nice atmosphere, Delicious Food, Friendly Staff

Cons: Date night prices

great selection of food

There were seven interesting and tasty-looking lunch menus to choose from and all looked good. Had a jackfruit pasta and soup, both were good, especially the soup, and the cake and hot chocolate that I had for dessert too.
Lots of space so suitable for big groups.

Pros: good choice of food available, good quality food, friendly service and atmosphere

Abendessen

Wir meine Partnerin und ich wollten spontan bei Elle n‘Belle zu Abend essen. Da ich früher dort war fragte ich ob ich noch reservieren kann da dies Online nicht mehr möglich war. Die Mittarbeitern schaute kurz nach und fand für uns ein Plätzchen. So konnte ich mit meiner Partnerin ein gemütliches sehr schmackhaftes Essen geniessen.
Schad wird dieses wunderschöne Restaurand mit ihrem gelungenen Konzept bald Geschichte sein. Ich hoffe von ganzen Herzen das Elle n‘ Belle an einem andren Ort wieder aufersteht.

Pros: freundliches Personal, qualitativ und quantitativ sehr gutes essen, sehr innovatives Konzept einer veganen Küche

Cons: suche ich noch

Great food and great vibe

The restaurant has a great feel to it. We enjoyed hanging by the bar while we waited for our table. The food was great. The pizza appetizer was my group’s favorite. It was closely followed by the cheese platter. For entrees, the burgers were big hits. I had the Manson Burger with “cheez”. The mushroom dish was also given high marks. Our group included both vegans and non- vegans and everyone enjoyed the meal.

I would recommend that you make seating reservations.

Pros: friendly service

Very nicely decorated, delicious food!

Very nice restaurant, quite big. I discovered it cause I was going to a concert at X-Tra and needed to find somewhere to eat. It was around 5pm so we had to pick something from the "bar menu", so we had some kind of kebab/wrap, which was extremely good and tasty.

Updated from previous review on 2016-05-08

Pros: Close to X-Tra, Nice atmosphere

Cons: A bit out of the city centre

Authentic American Diner

We were surprised to find such a big (and quite busy) all vegan restaurant in the middle of zurich. It is very cozy and very authentic american diner style.

We had a salad, a cheeze plate and a tartar with sweetpotato fries (uploaded rhe fotos) a red wine and a chai latte. Everything was very delicious and lovely decorated. Staff was very attentive, friendly and fast. :)

We will be back for sure! :)

Pros: Delicious food cool spirit fast and friendly staff

Very good food and service, but limited afternoon menu

We came around 3pm for lunch. The regular lunch menu ended at 2pm so we could get only a cold sandwich or other light fare. We had salad and a sandwich, which were very good.

Pros: All vegan

Cons: Limited afternoon service

Make sure to visit them!

Since I was only 2 days in Zürich I had to choose carefully where to go since the city has a lot of great places. I am really glad that I decided to come to this place since it is really amazing.
First of all the decoration indoors and also outdoors is super cool.
Next it has great food-I went there at 3om when they only had a short menu available but nevertheless I took the vegan kebab and it was super tasty. The portion was enermous and the price only 12.5 which is really cheap in Zurich.

I am sad that I had to leave since I would have liked to come back for a burger or a delicious looking cake.

Pros: All vegan place which looks really cool, Great food

Cons: Drinks are a bit pricey

Great vegan food. Recommend recommendations which can be easily done on their website. I had a small butterfly kisses salad, red burger, and black forest cake. All were excellent. Friendly service and English menu available. Food was slow to come out because they were packed. Would go again.

Pros: all vegan

delicious burgers

Elle N' Belle is a lovely, all vegan restaurant. The indoor seating is nicely decorated and the staff is very friendly.
Reservation highly recommended, I was there with a friend on a Wednesday evening and it was full.
The menu is awesome, all vegan and provides something for every taste.
We both had the Manson burger (comes with coleslaw and fries) and it was phenomenal. Large portions.

Looking forward to come back ?

Pros: tasty, options, atmosphere

Cons: pricy, crowded

modern original vegan restaurant with a young atmosphere

A must if you are in Zurich. Nice place, nice people. The location is modern, a big place with an intimate atmosphere. The food is very good (I ate a vegan cheeseburger, super!) and all vegan. So, if you're vegan, you can have good food without stress, if you are not vegan the place deserves a visit.

Pros: good food, all vegan, nice atmosphere

Cons: a bit on the pricy side, but we are in zurich

Good food

Since I've been coming to Zurich for 6 years now, this was my first time going out to a vegan restaurant!

We made a reservation online and came and had a nice seat outside with some privacy, it seemed to be going well. Unfortunately, the restaurant does not provide smoking/non-smoking areas for outside seating, so when a person close to us lit one up, we asked if we could move. This bummed me out a little bit, but the decor inside was nice too so that was ok.

My partner had the wasabi risotto which was really good and the flavours were so deep! I ended up with the Manson burger which came on a black bread. The burger was good, but not excellent. But the chips, those were excellent and some of the best I've ever had! The coleslaw side too was very good.

The staff were ok, not the nicest I've ever met but not the worst either. Maybe I was expecting more due to the price of the food.

I would recommend this place, but beware of smoking if you choose to sit outside and have problems around smoke or just don't like it when eating

Prices were fair/average for Zurich, considered very expensive for any tourist though I would think.

Pros: Good food, Nicely decorated

Cons: No non-smoking outside section
