Brunch on a Farm in the heart of Basel – Schallenurseli
St Margarethen Farm, seasonal restaurant May-October
Terrace dinning on a farm
I cycled my bike to edge of St Margarethen Park in Basel then, at the corner of the park nearest Binningen, I stopped to push my bike up the steep hill to St Margarethen Farm. Just passed the farm entrance is the bike park for Schallenurseli, I wandered through the cow shed and was transported into a chocolate box, cuter than cute, farm restaurant.

The restaurant is in an old barn that is open to the air on one side, with red checked table cloths, comfy sofas and inviting tables. My first impression was that this was a warm and friendly place, that has been beautifully decorated and was a great brunch location. I had booked a table for 11:00 so, I took the brunch menu, here’s what arrived!

What is included in the brunch? Farmhouse cheese, ham, salami, fresh baked bread, Zopf a Swiss butter bread, a croissant, homemade jam, yoghurt and an egg. Brunch also, includes a prosecco, tea and a bowl of coffee as well as much water, local apple juice as you want. You can help yourself to cereal and birchermuseli however, cheese on toast, rosti or drinks such as latte machiato/espresso/ristretto are additional extras.
