PURO — Restaurant in Basel

Elegant and sophisticated restaurant of the Movenpick hotel. The service is attentive and fast, with kind and smiling waiters. We visited the restaurant for dinner and tried some dishes a la carte (they offer a tasting menu from 120 chf per person, but we were more intrigued by individual dishes).

I would like to take this opportunity to compliment Angel, from Puro restaurant. Always smiling and happy, greeting his customers every morning. He would reserve a table for me and my colleagues without telling him anything, he would offer to bring our desired choice of hot breakfast asking if we would want the same as usual or something different. I prefer almond milk with my coffee therefore I did not have to ask for it every time because Angel anticipated my needs and had it ready for me. He gave us some touristic recommendations to visit in Basel and around. As a customer I felt very welcomed and taken care of every time with the same consistency. Puro restaurant is very lucky to have Angel and should take care of him the same way he takes care of the customers. Keep up the professionalism and passion for what you are doing. Thank...

The last course, the desserts, lemon biscuit and tainori chocolate were interesting but out of balance flavours resulted in a disappointing finish.

Last point of feedback is that it would be good to have a bit more variety in the wine per glass assortment so there is more choice in...
