1777 — Restaurant in Basel

If you’re in Basel and wants to try a real burger this is the best place in town! We were checking out the area for food and stumbled upon this gem. It is located inside what seems to be a business compound. Don’t let the posh setting fool you into thinking this is an uptown restaurant. In reality it has what I feel is down to earth and courteous people, like your typical local neighbourhood gem. You have to try the 1777 Burger (number 1 on the special menu). One bite and OMG, all the flavours burst and hopefully will redefine what a burger tastes like (it did for me and I’m from Australia!).

The only modification that I do to it is that you ask for the bunny of the vegan burger, which is some kind of wholewheat bun.

The place is on a first view interesting but a bit blunt, but the overall experience for most of the people I talked to like it extremely. It's kid friendly, it requires you to book ahead, as it is...

We were first time there. The Burger was very tasty. I orded a salad with my choice of ingredients. A waitress offered to add a salad leafs which i do not it. My understanding this was mandatory to choose. Also he asked the size of salad. I didnt know what the size of bowel look like there and randomly asked a big size. I was surprised how big my salad was with lots of leafs. I could not effort it and asked to take it away. After some time the waitress came and informed, they do not have boxes to take away. It almost full bowel of salad. I have previous experience when the staff informs that the plate is for one or two people to share. Be aware the big size of salad is really big and you could not take it with you. Shame to...
