Suggested by our Viking Cruise host Magdalena while staying at Movenpick Hotel Basel as part of a pre-extension pkg prior to an 8 day Rhine River Cruise to Amsterdam. We arrived just at opening for dinner and were the only couple there. We got a warm greeting and seated quickly. Our waiter immediately asked us if we would like a beverage/water. Having checked their website prior to going, I found the brewed their own beers, so I asked what types of beer they had in tap. My wife got a Pilsner and for myself, a German IPA. Bioth were excellent. We had the waiter translate the menu all everything looked awesome so it took awhile to decide. Within a half hour of arriving the restaurant started filling up quickly. Lively crowd but not too loud. An AWESOME experience and a fantastic way to cap off our last evening in Basel. read more
