LORA Basel Restaurant & Pizzeria — Restaurant in Basel

So, I bummed into this place as it wasn’t busy with people and I thought I could grab and go…

So, I got to the counter order my Green Tea and I’m surprised and that got half the cup size of water. So, I asked the lady why is the cup half size and not the normal… com‘on its CHF5 for a tea!
