Best Vegan meal ever - Edit
A swiss summer dinner sitting in the breeze by the garage door entry to Dar. Fully vegan including wines and a tasting for all at the table. Most flavorful food we have had as vegans. Every mouth was an adventure into the Moroccan Spanish imagination of the chief. Bliss.

Absolutely amazing brunch, we tried a nice variety of dishes and each one was delicious! It's very busy around lunch time so make sure to have a reservation. Lovely atmosphere, kind and helpful staff. The pancakes were so wonderfully fluffy!

Absolutely fabulous - Edit
We had the Journey tasting menu and white sangria. Every plate was perfectly created. They served items I would never choose for myself off a menu (mushroom, eggplant, cabbage) and I was blown away with the flavors and creativity. The rose water sundae for dessert was unbelievable.

Simply one of the best in ZRH - Edit
One of the best vegan restaurants in Zurich, together with the other 2 owned by the amazing chef Zizi Hattab: Kle and Cor. The cuisine is a mix between Spanish and Morrocan, the atmosphere is lovely. This place is a must for vegans and non.

Top plant-based food in Zurich - Edit
I had long meant to eat at the restaurant, but whenever I tried to get a reservation, it was already booked out. Finally, I got there with a friend and was very content with both food and service. We had the surprise menu. Maybe the Mac and cheese had a bit too much smoke taste, but everything else was very tasteful.

Excellent - Edit
While a bit pricy, this place is absolutely excellent. We could choose between a "surprise menu" of the day or a'la carte, and chose the former for nor less than 11 different dishes with very inventive an delicious vegan food. The fusion of fresh Swiss produce, Moroccan/Spanish fusion and pure creativity makes for a great meal. Would absolutely recommend, if you can afford it.

Best brunch ever - near perfection - Edit
DAR is by far our favorite place for a weekend brunch, not just in Zurich. The dishes are top notch, the ambiance very welcoming & relaxed, the staff friendly and the price/quality is unbeaten. We have been there a dozen times now and have always been highly satisfied. During spring/summer, DAR has a cozy terrace/backyard as well as a few tables in front of the restaurant on the sidewalk. There is also a beautiful separate cocktail bar with vegan cocktails and bar food.
Read moreThe absolute highlight however is still the food. Especially the dishes served for brunch are an absolute delight. Our favorite ones - you really shouldn’t miss them - are the “Mushroom BBQ sandwich, caramelized onions and ranch”, the “Merguez Fez Medina Sandwich” and the “KFM with hot sauce” (sticky and spicy fried oyster mushrooms, delicious!). DAR offers several seasonal salads which change regularly. For brunch there are around ten savory dishes and only three sweet ones. The honeycomb shaped pancakes are ok and it’s worth asking what the pastry of the day is, but the savory dishes clearly steal the show. The dishes are very suitable for sharing. We recommend 2-3 dishes per person.
Pros: Amazing food, especially for brunch, Great atmosphere, decor and service , Great value for money
Cons: Not much choice if you have a sweet tooth , The drinks are not as interesting as the food

Excellent dinner venue - Edit
We visited the bar for some nibbles and wine as we couldn’t get a reservation at the restaurant. The bar offers smaller variations of the restaurant menu.
Read moreI had been craving (vegan) cheese so we opted for the grilled cheese sandwich. It was a triple decker and absolutely amazing. We also had a type of croquette and fried mushrooms. The mushrooms were nothing like I’ve ever eaten before and highly recommend!
Wine menu is good, but expensive as to be expected in Switzerland…
Pros: Reasonably priced

Great tasting experience - Edit
I really enjoyed the tasting concept at Dar, though I wish it had been better explained at the beginning. If you get the sharing menu they bring you a selection of dishes from their menu to try, however, what they did not explain is that you can ask for more of any dish or you can ask for them to bring a dish from their menu that you want to try but was not included in their selection.
Read moreEven without extra dishes we left absolutely stuffed. Everything was fresh and flavorful, though some dishes impressed much more than others. I really enjoyed their asparagus dish, their corn tostada dish, and their croquetas (the fried potato spheres). What I would suggest they improve is their bread (it felt stale despite being warm and did not taste great) and their crepe dessert (we wished this had not been part of the selection as it was a very unexciting and unremarkable option).
I enjoyed dining at Dar, but nothing impressed me enough for the price that I would hope to return.
