Bodega am Barfi zum Strauss

Bodega zum Strauss is a true Basel institution located directly on Barfüsserplatz. The restaurant captivates with its unique blend of a Spanish name, French bistro interior, Italian cuisine, and a Scottish host. Known for its lively atmosphere on the ground floor and a quieter area on the first floor, the establishment eschews printed menus—current offerings are traditionally listed on large blackboards. The walls are adorned with remarkable artworks, including pieces by Keith Haring.
