Breakfast in Basel, for as long as you like
A cup of coffee, a fresh croissant, a moment of calm. We serve breakfast Monday to Friday from 9:30 a.m., no rush at all, for as long as you like.
Pförti Z'Morge
A fresh croissant, fine bread, butter, jam and cheese, plus, if you like, bircher muesli with fruit and cream. Small, refined, and easy to extend, with Swiss Lachs or cured ham, for example.
A savoury start
If you lean savoury in the morning, our salty croffles are a great way into the day: the Parma Bandito in the picture, say, with cured ham, handmade mousse and rocket. Or the Croff'Monsieur, our take on the good old croque monsieur, with farmhouse ham and Gruyère fresh from the croffle iron. Add a glass of champagne if you like, breakfast doesn't always have to behave.
Sweet things, drinks, add-ons
Our bircher muesli comes with fruit and cream. Add a warm sweet croffle, from Sweet Blanco with cinnamon sugar to Grand Chocolat with Toblerone mousse. If you like your mornings sweet, you're in the right place.
Espresso, cappuccino, flat white, latte macchiato and matcha latte, classic, vanilla or mango. Freshly squeezed orange juice, homemade lemonades, tea. And if you like: a glass of «Good Morning» champagne by Pol Roger.
If you want to turn your breakfast into a little brunch: Swiss Lachs with horseradish mousse, Grisons cured ham with parmesan mousse, Engadin salsiz, salametti or a fine cheese selection.
Breakfast is served Monday to Friday, à la carte, no cut-off. On weekends we only open for our monthly Sunday brunch: buffet, fixed seatings, CHF 39 including a hot drink, separate reservation.
