Two weeks ago, ‘The Sacred’ – Zürich’s first fully vegan and organic restaurant – welcomed a profound new presence: a life-size statue of Sri Chinmoy, lovingly crafted in Serbia from a mold by sculptor Ashidari.

This addition brings a deep spiritual resonance to The Sacred’s comfortable and mindful atmosphere. Here, guests don’t just enjoy wholesome vegan cuisine – they’re invited into a space that gently nurtures both the body and the soul.
