This is a full service supermarket (and thanks to Suzy, I now know why there are THREE M's out…read morefront because that denotes this is a department store and a grocery store and a food court). I did not shop the department store areas but I did find plenty of snacks and instant coffee for the hotel room. The fresh food area is spacious and clean with lots of options for "grab and go" and "heat and eat" if you're not looking to cook. The bakery was pretty darned amazing as well. Grocery section is tidy and well laid out with clear prices. Checkout went well. It was helpful to have a self-checkout kiosk (with an "English" button) so that I don't have to deal with language barriers. I also bought a "Migros" shopping bag for my collection.

Migros is an interesting food option, when you find yourself in Basel Bahnhof…read more There are some restaurants you could try, but Migros has a very large, diverse selection of pastries, sandwiches, wurst encrusted pastries, pizza, wine, beer, soda and pretty much anything you can Take & Grab for your train journey. It reminds me of the French chain Brioche Dorée, but only better. The four of us came here before getting on our train and came away happy we did. The prices are very reasonable, too. PS - Don't forget and stop at nearby Sprüngli for some chocolates before you go.

Lots of other options including ceviche shrimp, beef tartare (no, even in Switzerland I won't eat it from a deli counter), tuna, sliced chicken, egg salad. And the desserts! Oh, my! I'm not on keto when I'm on vacation but these were still looking too rich for me. But I only barely managed to resist the fruit tart cakes. Coffees and sodas, yes. Beers and wine are across the way. Not a lot of room here for eating and sitting, so we ended up taking it to go and enjoyed it on the train to Zürich. [Review 16454 overall - 7 in Switzerland - 1962 of 2021.]

Then we saw Tang. This Asian grocery/sundry store, like those in Zürich, is pretty well packed out with dried goods, frozen meats, beverages, sauces, dishware, ceramic statuettes and veg/herbs. If one wants basil, and a bunch of it, then Asian markets in CH are always the place to go. Unlike most Asian markets in ZH, Tang serves up hot food for those hankering for Asian fare. The menu is limited, but both meat eaters and vegetarians would appear to be taken care of. (I tried getting a snap of the food counter up close and personal, but it was always manned & I felt a bit self-conscious. Sorry!) The hubs and I were a bit thirsty, so we grabbed one can of lychee drink and one of toasted coconut (with bits of coconut inside). -small fridge at the front offers them cold. We also picked up a packet of those lovely ginger candies that are so potent it makes one cough. Armed with our wee purchase, we made our way to Kannenfeld Park, a few blocks away, to visit the giant and have a sit-down. http://www.yelp.com/biz/kannenfeldpark-basel For those of you living in Basel with a 'yen', pardon the pun, for Asian cuisine, I would recommend Tang Engros as a shopping destination.
