Discover the Heart of Switzerland Through Its Flavors

If you’re looking for more than just a meal—if you want an immersive cultural experience filled with authentic flavors, local traditions, and warm hospitality—you’ve come to the right place.

We’re here to answer your questions, share fascinating insights about Swiss customs, and ensure you feel at home from the moment you arrive.

A Rich Aperitivo to Begin

Your evening kicks off with a generous Swiss aperitivo featuring Feldsalat (lamb's lettuce) and Bündnerfleisch (air-dried meat from the Grisons), paired with homemade bread fresh from our oven. Enjoy this alongside organic Swiss cheeses sourced from the Alps, including creamy Gruyère and tangy Emmental, perfectly complemented by local organic wines. Each bite and sip is a celebration of sustainable, high-quality ingredients.

The Main Event: Traditional Cheese Fondue

The highlight of your evening is an indulgent cheese fondue, a quintessential Swiss dish that brings people together. Made from a carefully selected blend of Gruyère and Emmental cheeses, our fondue is rich, creamy, and perfectly seasoned. Dip cubes of homemade bread, fresh vegetables, and other accompaniments into the bubbling pot of cheese as we share the stories and traditions behind this beloved dish.

A Sweet Finale

No Swiss meal is complete without dessert, and we’ve got a treat for you! End your culinary journey with Basel’s traditional Wähe, a soft and sweet pastry topped with vanilla cream, served alongside a scoop of our homemade gelato. This regional favorite is the perfect way to round off your meal and leave you with lasting memories of Swiss flavors.
