This past Friday driving exercise for Olivia took us to Oberwallis and further on to the canton of Uri via the Furka railway tunnel before heading back to Pully in the evening. What was more obvious than stopping at Baschi's for an early dinner? This almost entirely carnivore palace has established its reputation on a rather simple but highly successfull concept; high quality meat, cooked on a vertical grill and served on a wooden plate together with one big, grilled tomato, as many oven grilled potatoes as you like, and butter (garlic and blue berries). This is not a place for vegetarians although they may offer one vegetarian-like dish on the menu. We have eaten here for years and have noticed not only an expansion of the premises but also the need to reserve your table at any time of the day you might want to eat.

We went on a Tuesday night after heavy snow. The place was packed. The staff were friendly and seat us promptly (we had a reservation). The salad was good but the meat here is what everyone comes for.

They also grill in high open flames and apply butter to the meat frequently to get that perfect char while the inside is still cooked to order.
It's great food...
Read moreWe had an impromptu dinner here, and only came to this restaurant based on the Google reviews. What an amazing place! We had an unbelievable dinner after a long full day drive from Zurich (with many stops), and could finally relax on the outside patio with mouthwatering dishes. The wood-fired steaks were outstanding, as well as the baked potatoes and other sides that came with it. Would definitely return next time we are...
