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!

My brother and I stopped by here on our way through Basel for lunch. I ordered the pork and potatoes and my brother had the spicy pizza. Before we ordered our waitress brought us a glass of sparkling water with limes and small berries. It was light and refreshing which hit the spot! She also served us bread with a pork fat spread that had our eyes wide in amazement. Usually spreads are sweet but this one was savory and delicious! The pork was cooked right and the potatoes were filling, however my brother won the food choice award with the pizza. They serve a thin cracker type crust with pepperoni style meat, arugula and some type of creamy cheese that melted in your mouth! I'm not a fan of arugula's strong taste but with this pizza it made it! So delicious and so good! Our waitress spoke wonderful English and helped us translate the menu. We always try our best to learn some of the lingo but she made it easy and enjoyable. Overall this restaurant is great! If I ever come back through Basel I will definitely eat ordering the pizza again! Highly recommend this place for locals and travelers alike!
