Just a tremendous place to eat. Such off the path type tastes that warrant a couple hours of your time. Be gracious. They are not a large operation. And their English is not perfect. But better than my German French or Italian. Their were some Santa Barbara peeps here which made the evening even more fun.

Excellent Service. Fantastic food! Friendly staff! Go and reserve a table in advance.

Waren zu zweit über Mittag und es war OK. Die Bedienung gab sich Mühe, das Suppe war OK. Das Fleisch war ein wenig trocken, Risotto war sehr gut und die Tomaten leicht angebrannt. Hat jetzt keine Begeisterung ausgelöst, aber im Ganzen waren wir zufrieden.

Was chosen by my colleagues while visiting Basel. Serves traditional Swiss food, we had the pumpkin soup, beef, fondue. Desserts are also worth trying.

that night i decide to go to safran and drop my forst idea to eat at michelin resto in basel. the result is magnificent! this resto is set on the heritage building. Starting with beef tartare which i never get such a very good one like in this restaurant. secondly we order lamb rack which was very rich as well as its grilled vegetables. Superb! Another dish was entrecote with brown stock which i normally don’t like it but last night was amazing. waitres didn’t speak english but she tried her best to explain it well and i really appreciate her helps. we had an interesting swiss wine as well.

(Translated by Google) A nice, old eatery where you actually eat well. But with our venison entrecôtes it was a thin and well-cooked one and both dishes lacked the sauce. From Brussels sprouts, it had three leaves on each plate. Whole roses would have tasted better. I got another plate - with good meat. Unfortunately, the supplement was served only 10 minutes later. As compensation for the mistakes we kindly got a coffee and schnapps offered. But the liquor has not found its way to us ... The service was friendly, but for such a restaurant too much went wrong. Upscale price range for rather small portions. (Original) Ein schönes, altes Lokal, wo man eigentlich gut isst. Aber bei unseren Hirsch-Entrecôtes war das eine dünn und durchgebraten und bei beiden Tellern fehlte die Sosse. Von Rosenkohl hatte es drei Blättchen auf jedem Teller. Ganze Röschen hätten uns besser geschmeckt. Ich kriegte nochmals einen neuen Teller - mit gutem Fleisch. Leider wurde die Beilage dann erst 10 Min später serviert. Als Wiedergutmachung für die Fehler kriegten wir netterweise einen Kaffee und Schnaps offeriert. Aber auch der Schnaps hat den Weg nicht bis zu uns gefunden... Die Bedienung war freundlich, aber für so ein Restaurant ist zu vieles falsch gelaufen. Gehobene Preisklasse für eher kleine Portionen.

(Translated by Google) Look cozy atmosphere. The restaurant was full and therefore a bit noisy. The server was very nice. The Chateaubrind very good. However, there was no dish service. We had to draw the food ourselves and the wine was not refilled. For such a prestigious restaurant a no go. When I approached the waiter he said that the concept was "modernized". A pity, we were always very satisfied. But this so-called modernization is not right for us. Fortunately, there are other localities where you "served" from A to Z is. (Original) Sehe gemütliches Ambiente. Das Restaurant war voll und daher etwas laut. Der Kellner war sehr nett. Das Chateaubrind sehr gut. Jedoch gab es keinen Tellerservice. Wir mussten das Essen selber schöpfen und der Wein wurde nicht nachgefüllt. Für so ein angesehenes Lokal ein no go. Als ich den Kellner darauf ansprach sagte er dass das Konzept "modernisiert" wurde. Schade, wir waren bis anhin immer sehr zufrieden. Aber diese sog. Modernisierung stimmt für uns nicht. Zum Glück gibt es noch andere Lokalitäten wo man von A bis Z "bedient" wird.

Wonderful restoran in Basel city center. Perfect food. Interesting "medieval" decoration. Once it was craftsmens meeting place. Worth of seeing.

Great place to eat! Cosy environment

Nice food and great ambience!

Really delicious food and good service. Would recommend to everyone looking for a traditional experience

Tolle Küche mit liebe fürs Detail

This restaurant is the place to go to if you want to enjoy some very good Swiss food. The place is very beautiful and the furniture is mainly made of wood, which adds a really nice touch to the decoration. The food is excellent, the veal Zürich style and röstis were delicious and the service was really nice.

Wir waren hier um den Chateaubriand essen.Wir würden ganz herzlich empfangen und der Service war sehr nett und freundlich.Der Chateubriand war ausgezeichnet und gegart wie er bestellt würde.Ganz schöne Weinkarte.Wir werden wieder kommen.

We didn't have a reservation but were seated quickly. Staff were alll friendly and helpful and the food was excellent. Total luck that we walked past this place.

My wife and I had dinner here during a 2 day stay in Basel and it was 10/10. The building is historic and very neat, the service was friendly and fast and we even had a nice chat with the owner. Most importantly the food was excellent- highly recommend the fondue bacchus.

Very friendly staff. Quite a modern menu, overall it was a good experience, but not quite what I imagined from the look of the place.

(Translated by Google) The restaurant is still nice to look at. But for the standard, which it wants to be, the service doesn't fit. We had ordered saddle of venison. Taste OK. The side dishes are very good. But now comes the minus: various bowls with the side dishes were placed on the table, next to the plate with the cut saddle of venison, which looked very lost on the plate and not nice to look at. The side dishes ON the plate were missing. That gives a picture. The waitress wished us bon appétit and from then on everything was self-service. The food, wine, water. The waitress was only seen again when paying. If d'Saffere is supposed to be a better place, then that doesn't work at all. Unfortunately, I've been disappointed with them before, so that's it for me. (Original) Das Restaurant ist nach wie vor schön anzusehen. Aber für den Standart, welches es sein will, passt der Service nicht. Wir hatten Rehrücken bestellt. Geschmacklich OK. Die Beilagen sehr gut. Aber jetzt kommt das Minus: uns wurden auf den Tisch diverse Schälchen mit den Beilagen gestellt, daneben die Platte mit dem geschnittenen Rehrücken, welcher auf der Platte sehr verloren und nicht schön anzusehen wirkte. Da fehlten die Beilagen AUF der Platte. Das gibt ein Bild. Die Kellnerin wünschte uns guten Appetit und von da an war alles Selbstbedienung. Das Essen, Wein, Wasser. Die Bedienung war erst wieder beim Bezahlen gesehen. Wenn d'Saffere ein besseres Lokal sein soll, dann passt das gar nicht. Leider wurde ich schon mal bei ihnen entäuscht, daher wars das für mich.

Came here as a group of 30. The table arrangement was super cramped upstairs. Guess this was meant for 10 people where the 30 of us were accommodated. The restaurant can claim a paucity of space due to the Fastnacht rush but the onus of delibering the experience and not stuffing food into our gullet lies with the restaurant. Food was no great shakes - This restaurant had no butter to serve along with its bread. No vinegar, pesto, no olive oil etc. Just Pain bread! The soup that I was served was indecipherable - just could not figure out the ingredients. If you are someone who values food more than the experience of having it in old buildings, with staff that cannot communicate in english, then this is not your kind of place. This may be the Fastnacht effect but I am never coming to this place again.

(Translated by Google) Remarkably friendly and professional staff. Many thanks. (Original) Auffallend freundliches und professionelles Personal. Vielen Dank.

We really enjoyed our first visit to Mahabharat. We ordered drinks and were shown to our table upstairs which was lucky, the second level was a little quieter which suited us. The building itself is an unusual setting being and old church Overall a good experience in a unusual building/chapel, staff can't do enough to please,good choice of dishes and food served hot and good portion sizes, good idea to book table downstairs if you have mobility issues as some tables up stairs on balcony

(Translated by Google) Great ambience with fine food! Nice attentive service. Price performance is also right. In the summer but unfortunately a little bit of shade on the terrace, as the parasol is only in the middle. (Original) Tolles Ambiente mit feinem essen dazu ! Netter aufmerksamer Service. Preis- Leistung stimmt auch. Im Sommer aber leider etwas wenig Schatten auf der Terrasse, da der Sonnenschirm nur in der Mitte ist.

Lovely atmosphere. Very mediocre food. The cooks need training. Very basic flaws and some dishes inedible. Nice wine list.

Enjoyed a fabulous Chateaubriand with my wife. Excellent presentation, thoroughly tasty, and very generous proportion. I could only manage a sorbet for dessert. Only slight criticism is the the portion of sorbet was rather stingy.Our event included some 120 ersons for lunch, plus a table for 12 children. The food was excellent, as were the wines, included at a reasonable price.

To an American, this seemed very authentic!

(Translated by Google) Luck Bobby! A spontaneous dinner in the saffron guild exceeded all expectations. Wonderful for the eye, the flesh delicately tender, the side dishes creative and to the point. The service extremely charming and the place a Bijoux in the middle of the city, which I wrongly for a long time not properly perceived. We will definitely be back! (Original) Läck Bobby! Ein spontanes Abendessen in der Safranzunft hat alle Erwartungen übertroffen. Wunderbar für's Auge, das Fleisch traumhaft zart, die Beilagen kreativ und auf den Punkt. Die Bedienung ausserordentlich charmant und das Lokal ein Bijoux mitten in der Stadt, welches ich völlig zu Unrecht lange nicht richtig wahrgenommen habe. Wir kommen ganz sicher wieder!

If you are in Basel, take a noble deal here. Although pricey, it's worth it...

Rather pricy place, service was slow but the old interior is wonderful. The food was good as well.

Delicious food and great service.

Food is nothing special. By the way, having some music in the restaurant will be nice, otherwise it feels like funeral

Beautiful place, friendly staff but regretfully, the vegan plates pure disappointment :(

Excellent service from a really warm and friendly staff. The starters (carpaccio octopus and tartare) were near perfection. I’m only giving four stars, not because our mains were bad, but because our expectations were so high due to the starters that it was hard to maintain throughout on the same level. Highly recommended restaurant, though.

Food was expensive and not particularly nice. Extra star for the lovely waitress who was attentive but didn't annoy us.

Great Swiss restaurant. Also has private rooms on the first floor and an amazing big space on the second. Was the Spice guildhall. They must have made a lot of money.

Nice Restaurant.. Tasty Food

Great food, excellent service. Was a team dinner and all the food was great (that’s across 8 different people). Decor was nice and excellent wine selection. Worth a visit!

The ambience just absolutely beautiful, the food equally as amazing

Excellent location for date night. Martin is an excellent server and host. Let him guide you. Of the 8 tables in view (incl. ours), 7 ordered the chateaubriand. Health price but excellent portions and awesome flavor/ sauces.

Superb, beautifully presented and prepared meal in charming setting. Well worth the price!

Good food. Good service

(Translated by Google) Excellent restaurant in the historic center of Basel, attached to the beautiful market square, furnished in a local "classic" style. The restaurant is on the ground floor, while on the second floor it also has a large banquet hall where guests can delight in a wonderful space decorated in the old-fashioned way. The kitchen offers a discreet, but very interesting, choice of typical quality dishes, and (in our case there was also) a seasonal gastronomic review. The wine list is extensive and also offers a choice of excellent local producers. The service is impeccable: courteous, precise and attentive. Restaurant highly recommended. (Original) Ottimo ristorante nel centro storico di Basilea, attaccato alla bellissima piazza del Mercato, arredato in uno stile “classico” locale. Il ristorante è al piano terra, mentre al secondo piano dispone anche di una grande sala per banchetti dove gli ospiti possono deliziarsi all’interno di un meraviglioso spazio decorato alla maniera d’altri tempi. La cucina offre una discreta, ma molto interessante, scelta di piatti tipici di qualità, e (nel nostro caso c’era anche) una rassegna gastronomica di stagione. La carta dei vini è ampia e offre anche una scelta di ottimi produttori locali. Il servizio è impeccabile: cortese, preciso e attento. Ristorante vivamente consigliato.

(Translated by Google) Everything was right for us. The location is simple but elegant. The food was just excellent 😀 Yes you have to grab something aber but you know something like that before you go to eat in such a place. But then you can dress smartly without wearing an overdress 👔👗. It's not something you eat every day. For us, this evening is simply remembered as a very successful one. The waiter also went out of his way to be professional and friendly despite the many guests. 👍 We will only recommend it. (Original) Für uns hat alles gestimmt. Die Lokation ist schlicht aber elegant. Das Essen war einfach hervorragend 😀 Ja man muss wohl etwas in die 👛 greifen aber so was weiß man ja bevor man an so einem Ort zum essen geht. Dafür darf man sich dann aber auch Mal schick anziehen, ohne sich overdress zu führen 👔👗. Ist ja auch nicht alltäglich so ein essen. Für uns bleibt dieser Abend einfach nur als sehr gelungen in Erinnerung. Auch der Kellner hat sich sehr viel Mühe gegeben und waren trotz vieler Gäste immer professionelle und freundlich. 👍 Wir werden es nur weiter empfehlen.
