For visitors to Basel, there is quite a lot to do. In addition to soaking up the local culture in the form of music and opera, as well as looking at the beautiful architectural marvels, they should not overlook the power of the local cuisine as well. One restaurant in particular comes to mind as a fine example of the wonderful food that the native Swiss can offer to locals who are looking for something to do in between seeing all the sights.
That restaurant is Parterre. A fairly recent addition to the Swiss countryside, Parterre is renowned for its food, but also for the cultural ambience of the restaurant. It is located close to some of Basel’s most famous musical and theatrical conservatories, a prime location that makes it an ideal stop for tourists who are trying to see all that Basel has to offer. The restaurant also hosts quite a lot of local parties related to the various arts going on in the town at any given moment.
