One of my favorite places in Basel for a delightful breakfast or weekend brunch. The cozy ambiance, warm service, and commitment to quality make it a true gem. Their fluffy mini pancakes are definitely my favorite, however I would love for the restaurant to add eggs benedict and salmon eggs royale to their menu as well :)
