We arrived just at opening for dinner and were the only couple there. We got a warm greeting and seated quickly. Our waiter immediately asked us if we would like a beverage/water.

Bioth were excellent. We had the waiter translate the menu all everything looked awesome so it took awhile to decide. Within a half hour of arriving the restaurant started filling up quickly. Lively crowd but not too loud. An AWESOME experience and a fantastic way to cap off our last evening in Basel.

Mh, not so sure about that. But again, overall a pleasuring experience.

Absolutely amazing. This restaurant would rank as a five star in the States easily. As an FYI prior…read moreto attending, please understand that food in Switzerland is expensive. You will often spend 100 Swiss Francs per person (approximately 110 US dollars, depending on the exchange rate). With that being said, I don't even know where to start! Started the evening with a glass of prosecco, and sweet potato soup (they put a lump of walnut ice cream in it). It is absolutely divine! We ordered the rack of lamb and the duck. While waiting for the main course, we were brought out delicacies from the chef in the kitchen. Everything paired nicely with their many options of wine. The main courses came out aesthetically pleasing, as well as cooked to perfection. I guess that is to expect from a restaurant that has been around longer than the States. The duck was not over cooked, and the lamb fell of the bone into a sauce that strike your palate. We ended the evening with Swiss chocolates an dessert. Which was mouth watering. We will be back in 10 weeks, and I cannot wait to go here again.

Went to celebrate my birthday and it gave royalty from making the reservation to my exit. I was greeted by David, who was extremely kind and pulled out my chair like a gentleman, for me to have a view of all the action (people watching). First dish were three oysters and veal. It was my first time having the veal and David assured me it would be great and that, it was. Next, was the selection of some mocktails (a ginger based beverage and a sparkling rose minus the alcohol) which were two excellent choices with great price points. Next, the main course. I had the fish with potatoes, mini tomatoes and spinach. That was also a 10/10. The dessert was a great close to the experience and I went with the crème brulee. It was excellent! And let me not forget about the fresh bread and butter. It was all so good and the staff were phenomenal; every single one of them. I loved the experience and cannot wait to be back in Basel.

I was recommended to visit this restaurant for traditional Swiss cuisine by a few locals. My friend…read moreand I came here for lunch. The place is located in the heart of Basel, right on one of the main promenades, so it was quite busy that day, mostly with tourists. The restaurant has a big indoor area, plus outdoor seating. We decided to sit inside to enjoy its classic Swiss design and cozy vibe. You can sense the historic charm in the atmosphere, but everything inside was still well maintained and spotlessly clean. Our waiter was very nice and helpful - he gave us tips about Swiss food and recommended a couple of dishes from the menu. The menu, by the way, wasn't very big, and it focused on traditional Swiss classics. We decided to share two dishes: Wienerschnitzel and Cheese Fondue (Käsefondue). The food came out quickly, within about 15 minutes. The pork schnitzel was flavorful and tender, with a perfectly enjoyable texture. We chose French fries as the side, and they were cooked really well. But the star of our lunch was definitely the Cheese Fondue - absolutely delicious! The cheese they used was incredibly rich and flavorful, and the fresh bread served with it was also tasty. Dipping the bread into the melted cheese made it a truly delightful experience. Both dishes were generous in size and more than enough for two people. The only negative about this restaurant is the prices, which are extremely high. The Cheese Fondue cost 38 CHF (about $48) PER PERSON, and the Wienerschnitzel was 40 CHF (about $50). Even though the food was excellent, I found these prices far too steep. The soft drinks we ordered were also expensive - 6 CHF ($8) for a cup of black tea or a Diet Coke. I'm from Miami, where restaurants are pricey too, but not this expensive, so even I was shocked when we got the final bill. Finalizing my review, I can say that I loved every part of my experience at the restaurant except the prices. It's definitely not a place I could afford to eat at every day (like I do in many restaurants in Miami, since I don't cook), but I still recommend checking this restaurant at least once for the experience - to try truly delicious Swiss food. Trust me and order the Cheese Fondue for sure!
