Tibits, Vegetarian restaurant at Lausanne railway station, Switzerland
Tibits is a vegetarian restaurant located inside Lausanne's main railway station with a self-service buffet format. The menu features around 40 different options including salads, hot dishes, soups, and desserts made from seasonal produce.
The space occupies a former railway station buffet, one of roughly 44 such historic café-restaurants that once defined Lausanne's stations. Its conversion to a vegetarian restaurant reflects how these heritage spaces have been reimagined for contemporary dining.
The kitchen draws from Swiss culinary methods and local sourcing to shape its meat-free menu. Visitors notice how dishes adapt through the seasons, blending traditional flavor profiles with plant-based alternatives that feel familiar.
The restaurant sits steps away from Track 1 of Lausanne's main station, making it easy to find and access between trains. It opens early on weekdays and stays open until late evening on most days, supporting various visitor schedules.
The restaurant has created its own spin on guacamole by swapping avocado for edamame and pea puree. This substitution addresses the heavy water usage tied to avocado farming in distant regions.
