Dr Egge in Muttenz offers creative cuisine with high food quality, particularly praised for its truffle menus and vegetarian options. The atmosphere is generally described as elegant, though some find it noisy and group-oriented. Service is polarizing: while many appreciate the hospitality, several reviews criticize the host for arrogance and rudeness, especially towards guests not ordering expensive wines. The wine selection is extensive. Diners should expect excellent food but remain cautious regarding potential service inconsistencies and the establishment's preference for larger groups over intimate settings.
Suitable for diners seeking high-quality creative cuisine who can tolerate potential service inconsistencies.

This idyllic 13C water castle is a tranquil haven nestled just outside Basel. Surrounded by a moat, the property with its old trees can be accessed from two sides via wooden bridges. This establishment boasts two culinary concepts: a brasserie and this fine dining restaurant. Head chef Guy Wallyn, having already worked at the castle for several years, serves up classic French cuisine in the form of a four- to six-course set menu, which can be supplemented with cheeses from the trolley.

The brasserie is a wonderful addition to the gourmet restaurant ‘Louis’ on the magnificent historic castle estate. Here you can enjoy French brasserie cuisine made from fresh produce, from ‘Beef tartare classique’ and ‘Moules marnière’ to ‘Veal ragout Blanquette de Veau’ or dishes for two, such as ‘Chateaubriand’, in a classic ambience for lunch and dinner. The well-stocked and extensive wine list is the same as that of the ‘Louis’. In summer, the terrace facing the moat under shady old plane trees is an idyllic spot.

Brasserie du Château in Lausanne offers classic cuisine and traditional brewing. Food highlights include highly rated pizzas, ginger beer, and garlic bread, though some guests reported burnt crusts or incorrect toppings. Service is mixed; while many praise the friendly and efficient staff, others experienced long waits, forgetfulness, or poor attitude. The ambiance is relaxed, resembling a cozy Irish pub with a pleasant terrace, although the upper floor can be noisy. Value perceptions vary, with some finding it reasonable and others feeling it is overpriced for the quality. It remains a historic local spot suitable for casual dining, provided visitors manage expectations regarding service consistency.
Suitable for casual diners seeking traditional beer and pizza who can tolerate occasional service inconsistencies.
