Sometimes everything just makes sense, you know it from the first moment and you are delighted that it delivers and it last. That is exactly the feeling I had with Restaurant Harmonie.... I would say it was the perfect harmony of good service, good food and good atmosphere.
I found this restaurant via a simple internet search as I was looking for a place to eat a good entrecote "cafe de Paris" style without breaking the bank - especially since I am not that familiar with Basel.
We were welcomed on a Friday evening without reservation and the staff was cheery and friendly, they were happy to explain to us the different aspects in the menu. Throughout the evening they were prompt and very accommodating to the different requests we had. In addition, the atmosphere was really nice, the restaurant has a charm, it feels like you are dining with friends in a bistro where they have known you for years.
Most importantly, the food was amazing, the "allumettes" fries (shoe string fries) were amongst the best I've ever had, the entrecote -the main event- was very good and cooked according our preference. We also like the house wine, and the desserts.
I think I've found my favorite place in Basel and would highly recommend it to everyone.
