  • 1. Confiserie Schiesser

    $ | Altstadt

    Choose a few jewel-like pastries and order leaf-brewed tea in the carved-wood dining room up the stairs from the tempting displays of chocolates at Confiserie Schiesser, steeping since 1870 in its prime location opposite the Town Hall. Light lunches include a selection of salads, quiches, and crepes.

  • 2. Restaurant Café Papiermühle

    $ | St. Alban

    With the splashing of the paper mill's waterwheel in the background, this is a restful spot for lunch, afternoon coffee, or Sunday brunch (it's open only until 6 pm), whether in the medieval house or the streamside courtyard. The hand-scrawled chalkboard lists daily specials—generally salads, quiches, soups, and pasta dishes, plus one daily vegetarian option—or try one of the delicious homemade cakes. After 3 pm hot food is no longer served, but sandwiches and other snacks are available. The Sunday brunch is one of Basel's best—try the Birchermüsli, the original, creamy, fruity version of muesli.

  • 3. Zum Isaak

    $$ | Altstadt

    This friendly place serves up a delightful mix of veggie and meat dishes for lunch and dinner, or you can just stop by for a dessert, if you'd like. For scenic value, it's hard to beat the tables strewn around the plaza, since they have a direct view of the cathedral's towers.
