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.

How could I not? Yep, I was the guy eating smoked salmon on the train. It just looked so darned…read moregood in the counter that I couldn't possibly say no and at only 4 francs, a deal for a good portion of delicious salmon. 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.]

This place may be small, but it has no shortage of things to try! The lower level is a deli with a…read morewide selection of charcuterie and cheeses, while the upper floor is a small restaurant. The dishes range from €15-20 and wine glasses are ~€5. I hadn't read reviews before coming here (most are on another popular review website) so my selections were a bit off, but on my next visit, I'll have to order their charcuterie and cheese plates with proper wine pairings. They also have a selection of brunch options. I was eyeing one of their omelettes (in a style from Corsica, with an aromatic cheese in it and served with charcuterie and a side salad), but I ended up going with a slice of "Muenster Valley" meat pie, served with lettuce and carrot salads. If I could have eaten two brunches at once, I would have picked these two items, but I was very full from the meat pie, especially after starting out with half of a cheese plate. I'll have to come back to try the omelette later. The meat pie and side salads were delicious and everything tasted fresh. I really loved the way they prepared the side salads - very light, simple dressing to bring out natural flavors (I believe French produce is organic and is rich with natural flavor). The cheese plate (mine was a half portion) was very good and featured four kinds of cheeses: a soft muenster cheese, a very strong British cheese (sorry, I can't recall the name), a truffled gouda, and an earthy goat cheese. I had just gotten off a redeye and would have passed out in the restaurant if I had taken as little as a sip of wine, but if I were to have this cheese plate again, I'd definitely order a glass of wine with it. The service was very good - the staff was very patient with my French and also spoke English fluently.

Love coming to this Migros store. Large store with tons of selection. Dairy, chocolates, fresh…read moredeli, baked goods, produce, makeup, etc. really nice store with friendly associates. Only downside is stores are closed on Sundays so better to shop during the week or on Saturday. Items are wells stocked and staff is always available to help. You have self checkout line as well so if you are in a hurry the self checkout line is for you!

The whiskey drew me in. Blame the whiskey. As I walked in, I was immediately struck by this store's…read moreuniqueness. Up the 3 steps were culinary knives, my level had jams and jellies, but I didn't see the whiskey. We headed downstairs. Tucked away in the far back left corner is the whiskey selection. Most are from Scotland and there are a few from Ireland. Here's the reason why I really like this place- you can purchase 100ml samplings of select whiskey. Rarely do I ever see a shop do this. Count yourself fortunate, Freiburg. It took me a long time to decide, but I finally left with an Aberlour 19 year single cask whiskey. They have Speyside, Islay, Highlands and other designations. Let yourself me drawn in by the whiskey lure. They do have some other spirits including, what I can only assume to be, house infused spirits on the far opposite side of the lower room.

What a fabulous place. We had the fondue and added meat, pearl onions, gherkins and nuts…read more Absolutely fantastic! A true Swiss experience.

Yummy Swiss food! Rosti is sort of like hash brown, but less dense. It's like baked shredded…read morepotatoes. We add cheese and tomatoes for extra goodness. Spatzli is like pasta, but it's a little too salty. Not sure if it is just at this place or how the dish should be. We still like it tho! And finally is corden bleu veal. Probably my least favorite cuz the ham feels a little dry. Very crispy fries. Portion is huge, so we order 3 plates for 5 people and was very full. But because of that, they charge us money for 3 (supposedly 2 not sure why) cups of water lol..
