leckeres buffet

vegetarisches/veganes buffet mit sehr viel auswahl und vielen kalten/warmen speisen

berechnet wird das essen per gewicht, man muss also vorsichtig sein, wenn’s nicht all zu teuer werden soll

es lohnt sich aber sehr!☺️ #Veganuary

Great vegan range

First night in Basel and came across even before I’d looked at the trusted Happy Cow app. Loads of interesting and tasty vegan options on the buffet, including salads, stews, and desserts. Really impressed.

I don’t speak German so the English translation of each dish was great and all vegan dishes are labelled clearly.

Pros: Loads of vegan options. , Good vibe

Great Variety

The only issue here is you need to have self control for not eating too much! Great variety and delicious foods!

They're better with sugar than they are with salt.

A bit expensive for a normal meal, even in Switzerland, and I wasn't that impressed by their assortment in the savory section. Quite delicious deserts though.

Delicious Buffet

This was such a treat! Perfect for a Sunday morning brunch. It's great that everything is vegetarian, and the many vegan options are all well labeled (as are other allergy concerns). While I can't go through all the wonderful dishes I tried, I will note particularly that all of the potato variations were fantastic, and a vegan tiramasu with berries was lovely. They had two types of the New Roots cheese (I'd previously tried the camembert, which I can find in Munich, but I was excited (and pleasantly impressed) to finally try the pepper one too!)
Nice service, lovely space indoors and out, would highly recommend.

Satisfying food but very very pricy...

Buffet system (not unilimited !), hot and cold meals. You pay for the quantity you put in your plate. High range of veggie and vegan choices. Samosas, fried onions, pizza, big variety of salads, pasta and vegetables, tajine, soups. I didn't try the sweet section but it looked nice too. But I was shoked by the price: 35chf for one (big) plate, welcome in Switzerland...

Pros: Variety, Taste, Atmosphere, deco

Cons: Pricy

Nice buffet restaurant

In the Tibits restaurant you have to pay for your food by gramm. So after you took it from the buffet, it gets weighed and that gives your price for the meal.

Pros: Plenty of vegan options , Very friendly stuff

Cons: Pretty expensive

Art Basel

Bei der diesjährigen Art Basel war das Tibits mit einem sehr großen Cateringbereich vertreten.

Kurz bevor wir das Messegelämde verlassen wollten, wagte ich noch einen letzten Versuch um an ein veganes Stück Kuchen zu kommen. Auf dem restlichen Gelände war die Aussicht darauf leider total vergebens.

Glücklicherweise bot das Tibits dort nicht nur einen veganen Kuchen an sondern gleich drei verschiedene. Wir hatten die Wahl zwischen einem Brownie, Blondie und einem Passionfruit Cheesecake. Da der Cheesecake mit einer unwiderstehlichen Passionsfruchtglasur übersehen war, konnten wir nicht anders und ließen die Brownies und Blondiea diesmal liegen.

Der Kuchen schmeckte dann auch wunderbar nach Passionsfrucht - leider war die Konsistenz der "Käse"füllung nicht ideal (hatte schon durchaus bessere) und der Kuchen war zudem etwas wässrig. Der Boden widerum hatte die ideale Konsistenz und einen leicht salzigen Geschmack, was ich in Kombination mit der süßen Passionsfrucht als sehr angenehm empfand.

Pros: Geschmack, Auswahl, Ambiente

Cons: Konsistenz

Fabelhafte Buffet

Ein vielfältiges Buffet, toll angerichtet. Das meiste ist vegan, die wenigen Gerichte mit Tiermilch sind klar erkennbar.
An der Theke gibt es aber auch Belegte Brote, Kuchen und eine schöne Getränkeauswahl.
Alles für hier oder zum Mitnehmen in Ökoboxen.
Das Lokal ist schön offen gestaltet, hat Glasfronten, einen Innen- und Außenbereich und wirkt im Gesamten sehr hygienisch.
Die Preise sind entsprechend recht hoch.

Pros: Großteil ist vegan, große Auswahl, , Lecker und frisch, Sauber

Cons: Teuer

The future is plantbased

‚The future is plantbased, is their new motto. They don‘t label vegan food anymore, they label vegetarian with L (for diary) and O (for eggs). 80-90% of their buffet is vegan.

Pros: 90% vegan, delicious

Cons: pricy, if you fill your plate it‘s 20-25 francs

Good, not amazing

If you are vegan the options are quite restricted, I don't like the fact that you have to weigh your food, quite expensive but good overall. More like an emergency option rather than a really satisfying cheat meal.

Can't recommend the buffet and eating in during the covid-pandemic

Generally, I am a huge fan of the tibits-restaurants. They have a good selection of tasty food. While certainly not cheap, it is still affordable for Switzerland.
But I wasn't impressed at all with their hygiene measures due to the covid pandemic. They provide desinfectant and suggest that you wear a mask while on the buffet. They also suggest that people serving themselves on the buffet shouldn't be more than 8-10 persons. In reality, maybe 50% of their guests use the desinfectant, even less wear a mask, and there's no way to keep a distance of even 0,5 metres. Everyone could spit or cough on your food.
There are almost as many tables as during normal times. On some tables, there are acrylic glass "walls" to separate you from other people sitting next to you. But if you don't lean forward you still have no distance.
I didn't feel comfortable eating there. I don't understand why they put their guests at risk, and don't enforce wearing masks while at the buffet and bar/pay desk area. Maybe they think that people will avoid them if they do so. I will avoid them because they don't.
Once the covid pandemic is over this will be a great option again that deserves at least 4 stars.

Standard vegetarian/vegan Swiss restaurant

Tibits is the Go-to Place for most vegans and vegetarians in Switzerland. They have a high and varying buffet with clearly labeled vegan options. You pay by gram which gets pricy very quickly. After a while it gets boring but it’s a nice place to go for dining out with flexitarians or omnis, just be sure to make a reservation in advance because it gets very crowded. As the other Tibits restaurant, this place has a very nice and welcoming atmosphere. They also have a bar if you want to go for a drink and breakfast and takeaway options.

Only dined here!

During 4 day stay in Basel dined here 5 times. So varied, comfortable & delicious we kept returning to both locations.

Pros: Plate is weighed minus bread choice. Unique., Clean, every need considered., Worth the price
