We got lucky and were allowed in without a reservation, and lucky we were. It raised the bar and…read moreour expectations immediatly, of course, when you're told that you need a reservation but the hostess was very accommodating and moved several tables to seat the three of us (my mother-in-law is along for this long Italian weekend trip -- we are going to surprise her eldest son and daughter-in-law for their 25th wedding anniversary).
Long story short, yes, it was de-li-cio-so!!! Definitely go here if you are near Basel. Parking was on street and free at night. Show up without a reservation and try to get a table! They had an extensive vegetarian menu and all of it was amazing. I enjoyed the mushroom cannelloni, my husband had the pumpkin risotto, and my mother-in-law had a pleasantly spiced pumpkin soup.
For desserts we each chose differently, and had bites from each other, but I was secretly very, very happy and pleased with my *plum tiramisu*!!! Very definitely recommend that, and any of the sorbets. They were creamy without using milk or cream. My husband had the pear sorbet which was very good. My mother-in-law tried the plum torte which came with a plum sorbet.
A fresh mint tea to finish it off, cappuccino for the others.
Highly recommend this restaurant.
