SÄge - Hofstetten-Flüh

I've been going to the restaurant for two years now, having initially sought a replacement to the closed Matisse restaurant in Basel. I instantly fell in love with the Wirtshaus zur Säge. The atmosphere created by Corinne Zimmermann is perfect and the interior although a little old fashioned, is very welcoming and comfy. Specifically during winter one feels as if one was entering a living room. The service, mainly executed by Ms Zimmermann, is attentative and friendly. Recommendations on wines and the Food are always spot on, not to forget the fact that they do have one of my favourite champagnes on their menu (Ayala). Finally the food never dissapoints me. The highlight for me every time I go are the sauces simply stunning what Patrick Zimmermann produces. A true little gem I can always recommend.

The quality of the food and the service are good, however, the prices are over the top for the somewhat small portions that are served.

This restaurant is VERY VERY VERY expensive as one of the smallest portions costs more than 100 francs. You basically have no choice to choose what you could eat. Moreover, the portions are super small. You could have a much better time at another restaurant which serves at 1/3 of the price and same quality with more choice. Absolutely horrible restaurant. The only good thing was the bread and leaving the restaurant. Don’t recommend it for anyone.

Ausgezeichnetes 7-Gänge-Menü, hervorragende Küche und hervorragender Service. Elegantes Restaurant mit 9 Tischen, sehr schönes Ambiente.

Sehr gute Speisen, freundliche Bedienung, welche sich leider mit dem Wein trotz Hinweis viel zu viel Zeit lies; ist aber einziger Wermutstropfen.
