In the Matthäus quarter in Kleinbasel, this smart building on a corner plot has housed a restaurant since 1910. The owners, who have already made a name for themselves in the city with their previous restaurant, Bonvivant, serve flavoursome, unpretentious cuisine based on good ingredients. In the evening, you can choose the "Chef's Menu", a set menu comprising three, four or six courses, or order à la carte. At lunchtime there is a shorter menu. The ambience is pleasingly laid back and neighbourly, with a charming vine-kissed terrace in front of the restaurant. Reasonable prices, very friendly service and good wine recommendations.
