Pry
★★★★★Edited a year agoThey have a great assortment of appetisers. The environment is friendly and cozy very close to the river. The staff is really friendly. They have made us a great recommendations for the wine. The place is also a good location to stop by during the events - Basel fashnacht and Tattoo Basel. On requests you can easily host big get together here and special events. I know Basel get together host events here. My friend has organised her birthday event and it looked great with the historical backdrop of Keserne and the fountain.
