I had the best calves liver I've ever eaten in my life tonight, hands down, and I've eaten it all over the world. The rosti was perfection. Outstanding service, and warm, cozy ambiance. Everything you want to make you feel good on a cold, rainy night. 5 stars. We'll definitely be back!

Wonderful introduction to Basel cuisine! Our party of 5 (parents and three tweens/teens were seated promptly and received excellent service. There were some unfamiliar items on the menu which were explained clearly and very helpful recommendations were provided. We shared the generously sized Sommer Salat as a starter. My sometimes-finicky boys devoured their chicken tenders and Wienerschnitzel with enthusiasm, which were freshly prepared and flavourful. The Kalb Cordon was delicious, as was Älpler (rösti with ham, bacon, cheese and fried egg). But for me the highlight was the Zürcher (veal with rösti and mushroom cream sauce). It was comfort food in its finest form! As for desserts, the Basler Läckerli Parfait and the Zitronensorbet were both lovely, but the Emmental Meringues with vanilla ice and whipped cream were the real stars of the evening. The atmosphere was welcoming and relaxed. One of the best dining experiences our family has had this summer!
