Two quick notes about Vegetarian House -

1) The food's good. Very good. Focuses a bit heavily in the menu on "faux meat" for my tastes, but it is all vegan and well prepared, spice level can be adjusted, etc.

2) The ambiance might be a bit off putting. The "Supreme Master Ching Hai" is the spiritual leader of the place and it can feel a bit overwhelming for the nonbeliever. Just ignore the big framed portrait and the ads for the tv channel of the master, focus on the food, and all is well.

I had dinner at Pot au vert the other night. Very good food - well made, eclectic, interesting. Decent wine selection, good salad bar and soups as well as entrees.

All items are vegetarian, but not vegan - lots of use of dairy and eggs. Menu doesn't label what is vegan but the waitstaff seemed knowledgeable and made recommendations.

Entrees between 15 and 25 CHF, starters less.

Nice ambiance - window tables looking back out at the river and main square across from the train station. Could be a bit noisy, I suppose, though the restaurant is on the second floor.
