Eating with all the senses: the VBZ Gourmet Line
All aboard and take a seat please! The VBZ Gourmet Line brings a breath of fresh air to Zurich, and we don't just mean the wind rushing by as you travel the tracks. No, we're talking about the appetising odours to be caught wafting through Zurich as the old-timer tram rattles by!
In the Soul Food & Alpine Cuisine tram, the team from "Bugs & Spices" is dedicated to conjuring up a selection of innovative, sustainable menus. The ingredients are organic and produced in line with fair trade terms. The meat is Swiss, from animal-friendly farms, used on a "nose-to-tail" basis with no waste! Certain food is also made with rare breeds of Swiss farm animals supported by the "Pro Specie Rara" label.
Besides sustainability, the focus is also very firmly on creativity. The VBZ Gourmet Line will take you on a voyage to new worlds of flavour and taste, interpreted through the cuisine of a multitude of different countries. Come along and be surprised!
