Tibits

Lovely place for easy vegan Food with the family. My son loves the choice and the clear indication next to each dish gives him a great independance. We live it on sundays.

Another great Tibits location, with the same high-quality food. This one has ample seating (unlike the original location in Bern), and the atmosphere in the upstairs seating section is more relaxed. The all-vegan buffet on Tuesdays is even more of a treat than usual.

Enjoy!

Tibits offers a huge selection of vegetarian dishes, most of which are also vegan. Every Tuesday is also "Vegan Tuesday" where everything across the board - with very few, minor but labelled exceptions - is vegan.

The food is delicious and filling, the prices - while a little on the steep side - are fair.

One pitfall that should be mentioned is that some "vegetarian" products are in fact pescetarian (e.g. tuna sauce). So keep your eyes peeled and your brains sharp ;-P

The food was really enjoyable... Really great vegan options, which is just so welcome when on holiday, especially in France / Switzerland where everything contains dairy!! Only downside is the price.. It is very overpriced.. Expect about 25CHF for one plate (and still slightly hungry)! Although, everything in Switzerland is expensive.

Really great restaurant. I went on Tuesday, which is a vegan only day and I wasn't disappointed! There were so many options and different styles of cuisine to taste.
There were constantly chefs roaming to replenish any food that is getting low.
It's also good for those that just want to get a drink as they also offer alcoholic drinks (as well as other non-alcoholic ones).
After my dinner, I went to the bar and bought a slice of their zucchini and chocolate cake and a bottle of their homemade matcha ice tea (all ice teas are homemade).
If you find yourself in Basel, you definitely need to check Tibits out!

super lecker, viel vegan!immer voll besetzt :)

This restaurant was a highlight of my trip to Basel.
I went on Tuesday and it was vegan night which was perfect for me.
A huge variety of salads and warm food such as rosti, mushroom ale pie, tempeh veges, as well as dessert options.
A must try in Basel or any of their other locations.

Das Restaurant hat insgesamt ein sehr nettes Ambiente und freundliches Personal. Man kann auch sehr gut draußen sitzen. Die Speisen sind nicht ganz billig, aber es lohnt sich: sowohl Salate als auch warme Speisen sind einfallsreich und sehr lecker zubereitet, und die Auswahl ist sehr groß! Tüpfelchen auf dem i sind vegane Süßspeisen und sogar Eiscreme.

I found it a very good restaurant. It is a vegetarian and vegan restaurant with the vegan option marked. The buffet includes a piece of bread and the food is weighted and paid per kg. The price is the usual in Basel.

The food is mostly vegetarian and average. But the price is al but cheap. 42 €/kg of the buffet.

The place is well located otherwise.

ok ok, it's not cheap, that's a fact. however this place has a lot of choice, good ingredients, recipes ranging from exotic and sweet and sour to a crisp and labels are clear and understandable. normally I love the most smaller and intimate to eat, but we were still very good.

I've been there during lunch time and there was a pay-per-kilo buffet with salads, hot dishes and desserts with vegan labels - but could see that there were also some options from the counter.
Unfortunately, it was very expensive. About the taste of the food, it was really different for me, but worth the visit.

We frequently visit this restaurant and have never been disappointed. As all Tibits restaurants, this is just a very great place to spend time while ejoying yummy food. Besides the great food, they also offer very tasty local beer.

We were traveling in Basel earlier in July and looking for somewhere with a vegan option for lunch. We found Tibits and decided to try it out. The food is buffet style and all very well marked as being vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, sugar-free, etc. The food was very fresh and tasted awesome! You pay by weight, so load up a plate and then get it weighed at the counter. We loved it so much that we sought out another of their pop-up restaurants when we went to Zurich at the end of our trip!

This place offers you a wide range of vegan dishes (there was seitan (wheat gluten), samosas, indian curry and so on when I was there). It was really good but very very expensive when you think that's a self-service restaurant!
I still have the receipt, just to give you an idea:
0,420 kg x 42.OO CHF/kg = 17,60 CHF (around 14 euros...) and I was still hungry...!

Central location in the heart of Basel's historic district and shopping quarters.

Awesome food with a nice ambiance!

Plenty of dishes to choose from - all are completely vegetarian and most are vegan. Also caters to other dietary restrictions such as gluten free.

Buffet style, but very high quality! All dishes clearly labelled as vegan/vegetarian with ingredients. It's easy to get too much food here! Yum!

This is a low-key, casual but classy restaurant with buffet-style dining. It caters to both vegetarians and vegans and the foods are appropriately marked as either vegetarian or vegan. The buffet offers a big variety of appetizers,salads, soups and main courses as well as something for the sweet tooth. The variety is big and the food is very fresh. The meals are paid by weight, so a fully piles plate will cost you a bit, but there is no way you can not pile up your plate with so many great choices! I would definitely recommend this restaurant also to someone who is not vegan/vegetarian as you get the chance to try out different foods that you might not try otherwise or would not want to order a whole meal.

Really glad we found this place. So many vegetarian options. It got really busy around noon but there was additional seating upstairs. It was on the pricier side as well. My boyfriend and I spent almost $50 here but the food was good.

There are all kinds of salads and some warm dishes as well. The dessert section is also very tempting. It doesn't matter if you are vegan, lactose intolerant, avoiding eggs, gluten intolerant ...everything is signed well.
There are some interesting tastes among the salads, I am sure some of you haven't tasted before.
I can recommend the soy desserts with chocolate taste or with cinnamon.
The only negative I can report is that it is quite expensive (as always in Switzerland) especially if you are very hungry and load up you plate (4,20 Sfr per 100g).

Huge vegetarian buffet self-service restaurant, I tried almost everything and I must admit that every item was delicious. They also have a big varieties of juices. Negative side is that I found it a bit expensive for a vegetarian buffet self-service restaurant. I visited it a second time and the dishes at the buffet where about the same, not much variation.

The only redeeming feature of this restaurant is that it is vegetarian in a town that does not support vegetarians. Apart from that it is difficult to find somewhere to sit and it is not very comfortable. The food is quite interesting the first time but nothing so special so it gets really boring and it is Switzerland so don't look at the price!!!!!

There's a big buffet consisting of mostly vegan and a few ovo-lacto options. All items are clearly marked for being vegan or containing dairy/ovo contents or allergens. Pretty much everything is organic. The staff is friendly, the drink options are very good.
I ended up eating there three times over the weekend I spent in Basel because I liked the food so much. The food seems expensive, but Basel is a very expensive place anyway. Compared to the general pricing in the city, Tibits is not expensive at all, especially regarding the quality of the food. Very highly recommended.

Good quality and quantity for the price, taking into consideration that Basel is an expensive city. You could have a big meal for around 20 swiss francs. Salad, guacamole, hummus, quinoa, wild rice, pasta, indian lentils, thai vegetables, desserts, wheat bread and rice bread.

We went to Basel twice and my husband will be going there again in Apr and Aug. We are grateful know that Tibits will be there.
The buffet items were clearly labeled to accommodate to the different type of vegetarians out there. From Vegan to Chinese Vegetarian, you will be able to find something (I like the onion and garlic drawings :)).
The food was good and there are varieties. They change some of the dishes day-to-day.

Very similar to Hilti in concept and execution, but more expensive. Also, the choices were fewer, though the quality and flavors were as good. Also, unlike Hilti where we asked and got tap water without being charged, here we were charged 3SF! But still, worth a visit with excellent location.
