Wonderful journey around an eclectic bunch of bars with people from around the world. Super way to meet people in Basel early in the week when otherwise not a lot is happening.
Quite the most delicious meal I have ever had. Goats' cheese with cous cous and figs; seared tuna with wasabi mashed potatoes.
The atmosphere was relaxing. Although there was a terrace, we ate in as the evening was cool. Efficient, warm and friendly service.
Off the main pedestrian shopping street. Steinbachgasslein 34.
The annual carnival celebration in Basel is unlike any other: held after Lent begins, filled with traditions, images and rituals dating back to the Middle Ages, a truly (Protestant) Swiss celebration. Fasnacht is for the locals, although visitors are welcome to watch the parades and displays. This year's Fasnacht kicks off at 4:00am on Monday, February 26th.
