Nice spot in the train station

Nice vegetarian/vegan buffet with plenty of options to choose from. All the allergens are clearly labelled. They also serve sandwiches and ice cream.
Similar concept of Hiltl restaurants in Zurich (the owner of Hiltl shares his knowledge with the brothers Frei).
Nice spot to rest when arriving or before departuring from the train station.

Tasty self service buffet

We loved everything we tried here! Large majority of the dishes is vegan. Reasonably priced especially for Switzerland. Vegan cheeses recommended!

Cons: Nothing

Delicious food on the go

Tibits in Lucerne station always delivers! We especially like stopping by when changing trains to grab some to-go deliciousness, but sitting down and enjoying a lovely cup of coffee while watching the trains is also a great idea.

Pros: Delicious food, Quick service, Convenient when traveling

Excellent Buffet

A huge buffet menu with excellent food across the board, offering dishes from a range of different cuisines. Always an excellent go to as they have many locations across the country.

Coffee was average, but other drinks were nice. Plenty of seating and you pay by weight. It is probably not 'expensive' as a Swiss person, but as a tourist it definitely is - but that's Switzerland I guess.

Numerous gluten-free options, including breads.

Pros: Variety of Options, Basically Vegan, Gluten Free Friendly

what a nice place

siamo stati benissimo, ambiente accogliente, personale gentilissimo e cibo ottimo e con un'offerta varia e diversa da quella proposta solitamente dalle gastronomie vegetariane o vegan.
siamo usciti felici, sazi e entusiasti.
in 2 abbiamo speso circa 40 CHF (2 piatti 1 birra 1 mango lassi).

Very good vegan options

Restaurant vegetarian with several very good vegan options at affordable prices. You pay for food by weight.
It's at the train station, up the stairs. I went there several times during my trip to Lucerne.

Superb tasting and wide selection

I am really impressed with the food selection here! Although it’s a vegetarian restaurant, there are many vegan options here! And the food, I must say, is the best I ever have so far in my Europe trip!

Tibits buffet

The Tibits in Lucerne offers a wide range of delicious dishes directly at the main railway station. A wide selection of clearly labelled salty and sweet dishes are available at the buffet. As with other Tibits, an estimated 90% of the dishes are vegan.

Pros: central location at main station, wide selection of clearly labeled vegan food, laid back and modern atmosphere

Cons: can get a bit pricy (pay per weight)

Easy to identify vegan food

Really helpful staff. It's a different way of buying food, but try it! They will help you. English translations on the back of each food label, and a clear V for vegan (every else is veggie).

Pros: Clear labels, Helpful staff, Zero waste ethos

Cons: Meat substitutes (but you can avoid), Need example meals with prices

Phenomenal salad bar + hot food bar in the train station

At the main train station in Lucerne, go up the escalator, and Tibits is right there. The sign is so huge, you can see it from the train platforms. EVERYTHING was delicious! I’m vegan/GF, and my friend is vegetarian and NOT GF; we both loved our meals! Vegan and gluten-free items are clearly marked. Food labels are in German, but if you flip the cards over, you can read names of dishes and ingredients in English.

Beautiful fresh salad greens, toppings, and many dressings. Hot food bar had white and brown rice, potatoes, several different kinds of curries, beans dishes, and lentils. Every plate of food comes with a free roll, they had both normal and GF options. Dessert bar had things like an apple crumble, strawberry and vanilla cream (all vegan), GF vegan cherry brownies. There’s also a bakery with cookies, cake slices, mini pies/tarts, etc.

You pay by weight. Prices are very reasonable for the area.

Pros: Food labels are in English and German, Everything is fresh, healthy, and tasty, Huge variety of gluten-free and normal options

Nice, tasty and convenient, buffet

We had a quick meal at this place above the station and enjoyed it. There are lots of salads to chose from a buffet and some hot food as well as puddings. Nice dressings and interesting toppers! We also enjoyed the green power juice.

Super nice food

Went there multiple times last year and always had a great experience. The staff was very friendly and the buffet was great.
We also bought food to go a lot (Schokogipferl (chocolate croissant) and kebab sandwich) which was also delicious.
Will definitely come back when I am in Luzern again

Buffet with wonderful variety

Everything is clearly labeled as vegan or vegetarian, and it is less pricey than some of the other pay-by-weight buffets. I had a chai mousse for dessert that was so good

Buffet restaurant, really cheap

Buffet restaurant that offers about 40 vegan dishes! You pay by weight. Laid back and easy going atmosphere, situated at the first floor of Luzern station.

Surprisingly good for what is essentially a vegan self-serve buffet

A large variety of hot and cold dishes presented. We chose mostly hot items. Located in the upper level of the Bahnhof, one would think of this as vegan fast food. It is fast, as you load up your plate, have it weighed, and pay per the weight of the food you chose. But the quality is really a super upgrade above what one would think fast food would be. And the price is very reasonable, considering the convenience and speed at which one can get a good variety of vegan main dishes, sides, breads, and desserts. When you need to eat good food quickly, ignoring the atmosphere, Tibits would be very difficult to beat.

Pros: Large variety of dishes, Hot and cold dishes, breads, and desserts, Very fast and delicious vegan options

Cons: Buffet setting = acceptable a lack of atmosphere

WOAH

**it is on the top floor of the station** hard to find, asked around but holy guacamole was it AMAZING. Huge selection, desserts, salads, hot foods, comfort foods everything. It is wildly expensive, I’m talking 40-50 francs a person if you eat like I do which is when hungry hungry. Took my dad who’s not even vegetarian and he was in love.

Pros: Selection, DESSERTS, Tasty

Cons: Expensive as heck, Hard to find

Veg food above the rails

The famous create your own plate - pay by weight with an increasing share of vegan options. By now like 90 to 95% seem to be vegan, some few egg or dairy cheese left on the menu. Right place to go all day. This location is indoor only.

Pros: Fresh, 100% tasty, Superfast from arrival to eating a warm dish

Great spot!

In the train station, so a little hard to find from outside, but worth the hunt. Buffet/salad bar style. Vegan options clearly marked. The food was fresh and tasty. A little pricey, but so far that seems to be Lucerne in general. We would definitely recommend!

Pros: Great food, Lots of vegan options

Cons: A bit expensive

Wish I discovered them sooner

Went here to have a quick look before we caught our departing train. Was blown away by the variety that was vegan. Got two croissants for the train ride and they were both delicious.

Pros: Great variety , Fast service , Very reasonably priced

Big range of food

I went here twice for dinner in 2 days and there were slight changes in food, which was nice to try new things. There was alot of vegan options (staff member said about 80%) and everything was clearly labelled.
My absolute favourite was the egg salad. Also really liked the chilli non carne, and potato salad. The edamame dip was refreshing, and loved the range of dips - especially the house, tzitziki, and lentil pate.
You get a free bread roll with your meal, but they're not the soft fluffy bread.
The restaurant is spacious with welcoming decor, and conveniently in the train station.

Pros: Egg salad

You described it perfectly. So nice to chose a little of this and little of that.
Vegan desserts and fresh fruit. Yum!
