roots

our restaurant «roots» is known for its one-of-a-kind setting directly on the banks of the rhine, with an unobstructed view of basel’s old town. the only thing that can compete with the view are the beautiful dishes: head chef pascal steffen gives the centre stage to vegetables, with meat and fish serving as exquisite sides. this culture of excellence at ‘roots’ has not gone unnoticed, with 18 gault millau points and two michelin stars.
