    If you're coming to Basel, you must stop at Walliser Kanne. Two floors of dining, with elegant table settings, and good food. There's lots of nice brown woodwork in here, and it can get loud, but feels very professional. They start you out with a bread basket and butter. The bread with the hard crust was just perfect. We had the cheese fondue, which was a hit too strong for me with the wine taste, but others enjoyed it. The bread for it was a bit too airy. We also enjoyed the baby chicken with fries which is served as two 1/2 plates. The chicken was cooked perfectly in lots of butter. The fries were a bit dry but still delicious with ketchup. For dessert we had the chocolate mouse which was a nice light tasting treat. However, the apple tart, homemade, was the star of the show. Three tarts, almost like donuts filled with apple, were so tasty. The service was very professional here, they treat you right.

    Green salad

    The service and ambiance here are fantastic. So too is the food. It's pricey but worth it. I had a green salad which was delicious and the veal schnitzel with noodles, which was also phenomenal. The service was top notch and brought me everything I needed. For dessert I had the homemade caramel pudding which was also very good. If you want very good food, then this is the place.

    Great cheese fondue - but super expensive and only comes with bread. Fun for a one time touristy experience but I am not sure I would come back unless you LOVE cheese

    I ate here with my boss on a Friday evening. He was craving some Swiss fondue and we found the place walking through the Basel City Center. There is indoor and outdoor seating here. We chose to eat outside. There were a few interesting options on the menu. I had a hard time deciding on whether to order the pork schnitzel or the entrecote steak. I was hoping for a combo platter where I could also get fondue with my entrée but I did not see that option available. We ordered a few beers while deciding on the menu. My boss loved the fondue. He was served a plate a cubed bread to dip in the fondue bowl. He let me try it and it tasted good. My steak was a disappointment. I was expecting a ribeye and was served a sirloin. The portion size was also smaller than expected. The flavor was ok but I sure would have liked some fondue to dip my steak pieces in. The service was friendly although it did take a long time to receive the food. This place is also priced high. Three stars.

    It was out last night in Basel, and really the only evening my wife and I had to dine out as she was there for work. For our last Swiss experience, we decided to go here. it was a short ride on the #8 rail from Banhoff towards Markplatz. Everything is super expensive i'm Basel so we split everything. We were seated outside, which was really nice. The evening weather was perfect. I wanted to order fondue but the item to order was the schnitzel. We split a huge salad, which came with bread. Our schnitzel came in and it was huge. it came with a side of spaetzel. everything was cooked to perfection. we downed some beers to compete the experience.

    White asparagus with hollandaise and new potatoes.

    Fabulous Schnitzels! Classic Swiss German food (including fondu) with English speaking friendly service. Nice selections of Swiss and Austrian wines and beers. White asparagus was in season and we had a fabulous asparagus appetizer with ham and new potatoes (perfectly cooked). The salads were fresh as expected and varied. We had the pork and veal Schnitzels which were expertly prepared in Swiss butter with French fries and spatzli. Hearty and delicious dishes. Deserts were ok but the highlight was The Schnitzels! I would (and did) go back for more.

    Mushroom fondue

    Dinner after the Basel Christmas Market was a phenomenal way to end the day Fried Perch with tartar sauce for Mom. Came with a potato rösti ( kind of like a potato pancake ). She loved it Mr & I shared the Classic & Mushroom Fondues & they were both amazing! Lots of stringy cheesy pulls and the cheese was the dominant flavor instead of alcohol Champagne to start & their local white ( Traminer ) to enjoy with the fondue Super nice staff - spoke at least 5 languages. Thanks for a lovely evening in Basel!

    June 2018: This place is definitely well known and has been around a while. Super touisty, but had to dine her on our first trip to Basel. The weathet was perfect and sat outside. We had the cheese fondue. The single serving was enough for 2 people (bread and melted cheese are very filling), $36. We also ordered the Raclette (melted cheese on a plate with a few onions and little pickles on the side), $19.50. I liked this dish better than the fondue. They have a decent wine selection and small beer choices. Be forewarned, it's pretty pricey here

    Very old building!
    Kenneth B.

    Fantastic late afternoon meal... Amazing old building that pre-dates Yelp by a few centuries. Had the pork schnitzel, which came with two breaded and fried thin pork slices and a ton of the most perfect fries. Add bread and butter and you have this week's calories in one delicious sitting!

    Overpriced cheese fondue but it was good. Seri e was fast. Bottle of vino better than buying it by the glass. Classic tourist trap.
