Restauration zur Harmonie

Basel


This traveller favourite is a good choice for a decent meal on the fringe of the Old Town. It serves hearty pastas, seafood, schnitzel and steak in pleasant surroundings, at prices that won't break the bank. You can't go past the down-home rösti with cheese for a buttery, cheesy, carb-loaded fix.
