Mum's Kitchen — Restaurant in Basel

Mum’s Kitchen is an absolute gem in Basel! A cozy place with a warm atmosphere and very attentive staff. The food is simply amazing – fresh, flavorful, and beautifully balanced. I especially loved the pho bo and the spring rolls, which felt both authentic and perfectly prepared.

Highly recommended for anyone looking for authentic Vietnamese cuisine in Basel – a place you’ll definitely want to...

When they did arrive I told the waiter to ask the kitchen to prepare our mains and bring them out straight away. We waited another 35 minutes. Meanwhile 2 tables arrived after us, got served their food, paid and left.

On the plus side the food was delicious. But the service (from the kitchen)...
