Beautiful food, and a scenic drive from Basel. It made me appreciate living where I do all over again.
The food is afghan which is similar to Pakistani/Kashmiri rice based cuisine with subtle spicing. We will go back again, you'll need to book for Friday/Saturday as it gets busy.
Chesterplatz 4
Opening hour: Di-So 11.00 - 22.00
8,90 Eur per person
the buffet dont have many options, maybe that is why is cheap..but the price are the same. doenst matter for lunch or dinner.
Quality of food are standard. Nothing special
I like the place since it was quite when i was there. (lunch)
i though i just give this info.. I searched and found no one post this rest (yet).. but if i am wrong, sorry for double post
expanding my alimentary options outside Basel since my regular place (Eintracht in Lörrach) has raised prices substantially and food quality a bit uneven the past few times I visited. Here's some others in Lörrach
- Osteria Mättle - little gem, mostly Italian but creative (have had veal, fish, and buffalo steak there - all excellent), prices 1/3 of Basel levels, friendly service. Look for historical artefacts around the dining room (WWI aeroplane pix since pilots used to eat here, and giant propeller saved from French reparation; also antique church clock mechanism) Suggest reservations for Fri/Saturdays, other days usually not problem just dropping in

- Symposium (in Hotel Meyerhof) - nice Greek menu, service so-so but food good. Try the greek bruschetta (unusual), also nice calamari served unbreaded and lightly fried with very light puffy potato slices I wish I knew how to prepare. Of course, they have Gyros meats and grilled lamb (not as good as the Gyros plates.)

Bon appétit!
Italian pasta restaurant - Pastakönig Weinbrennerstraße 2
Best pasta italian cuisine in the region, I've heard they also sell fresh pasta. No pizza. Everything is fresh there, hence the reasonable but not huge choice of dishes. Excellent.
Greek restaurant - Mykonos Baslerstr. 146
Cuisine is far better than the usual tourist food in Greek taverna in so many places in Germany. This one is real food, the extras (vegetables, olives etc) are worth the couple of euros extra. Very good.
I have also found this thread very usefull.
So I have collected the restaurants from this thread in a map. Please follow this external link to the map:
Many thanks!
I agree with you. Would suggest that for future entries please include public transport option. Thanks.
Also, I will add tot he list mona lisa ice cream parlor. Serves coffee, tea etc as well. Really nice after a good meal.
What sets it apart from the ubiquitous, oriental-style buffets is its broad range of cuisines, quite literally from around the world, as well as a teppanyaki counter so you can make your own. Its other strength is the excellent desserts, which in many oriental places is merely an afterthought (e.g. cheap icecream, gelatine cubes and tinned lychees )
For those that know Tenmanya in Lorrach... I think this is better.

TripAdvisor Review: http://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Restaur...in_Alsace.html
I really like La Couronne d’Or. From the outside, it’s nothing special to look at and you would likely drive right past without giving it a second look, but inside it’s a different story. With a mixture of long tables for big groups and smaller tables, it right away tells you its purpose: this is where families gather for a Saturday or Sunday lunch. In warmer months, ask for a table on the glass-enclosed terrace at the back of the restaurant.
The menu is seasonal, and changes every couple of months. Food is very typically French with a real emphasis on fresh ingredients. There’s a good a la carte menu, and a four-course ‘Menu Surprise’. We were going to order the ‘Menu Surprise’ but were put off by the waiter – apparently it’s something designed for the Swiss customers and features a rather bland meal tailored to their tastes.
hahaha a bland menu for the Swiss ! unbelievable. So you mean the Swiss go to that restaurant and order the same food as they have at home ? So funny. Nice warning though.
Have to go another time, with fellow cyclists.
