Everything I needed for my first night in Europe to beat the jetlag. I ordered the octopus (in a can) with some bread as I had filled myself on snacks in the Air France lounge at CDG a few hours earlier and enjoyed a glass of Rose. The waitress was lovely and spoke English to help me along. I sat outside and watched the sunset. This is important to know: they take AMEX! Most places in Europe do not and I was so happy to have my corporate AMEX accepted. I highly recommend for a small bite after taking in the sight of Basel.

I always enjoy a glass of wine with a platter of cheese and Italian salumi. Recommended.read more

They told us our table was reserved from six o'clock and the people were already there. However, after we switched table they never showed up. 2.

Cool little room (great ambiance) terrific service, great food - I mean great food - and a menu surprisingly extensive and ambitious for a place of its size. And all of it so well executed.

Wow, were we surprised, everything was so perfect! My husband had the fish and I had the salad and the 3 cheese tray. I had the Greek salad and it was so delicious I was so blown away! Even with the language issues- our waitress spoke French and we spoke English, she was so sweet and she got it all right! The wine was great, the cheeses superb and the chef here will please you! This is a place worth trying. Thank you La Cave, for making an airline disaster worth it!
