You knock using the beautiful old door handle. An uncle, aunt, or cousin greets you at the door and you hear the familiar footsteps of grandpa approaching. You hug, kiss, and greet them warmly as you enter the wide open yard with a small pool in the middle. You can smell the fragrance of new blossoms in the garden beyond strangely intermingled with that of the appetizing rice and stew simmering on the stove. You hear boisterous children playing the entirety of the soccer world cup right there in the yard. You enter the house and glance over and see grandma sitting in her familiar place besides the samovar pouring tea for everyone. Is this a scene from the past, the present, or something itched away happily in your memories?

Imagine a sunny afternoon in beautiful Zurich, Switzerland when after a nice stroll on the famous Bahnhofstrasse you have turned into Sihlstrasse. You are hungry but are struggling to decide between Zurcher geschnetzeltes, a creamy veal and mushroom ragout or a special tartar made with okra, egg plant, and spices (or all the other over 100 hot and cold specialities with influences from all over the world). You are at Haus Hiltl, the main branch of the world’s oldest vegetarian restaurant established in1898.
