SCHLOSS - Get away from it all in a foodie fortress

If we're talking really get out of Basel, one of the most striking places to eat is the SCHLOSS or castle in Binningen.  We often talk about unique places to eat, but this is an actual castle, and like all self respecting demeurs, it has its own moat and park.  Very convenient even for 20th century transport as Binningen tram stop nearby.  The Schloss is extremely well kept up - which makes it feel a little bit Disney-esque in the best sense of that description.  The inside is all imbeccable high vaulted ceilings, and you always have a view of the moat.

Lunch is the lightest deal on the wallet - at 60 francs for 2 courses. I had cannelloni with morille mushrooms and a pea froth.  This was 34 francs, and one dish of the day is always available at this price. But I shouldnt even be giving cheapsteak tips for this place.  This is a castle and as my fellow reviewer quipped, you can literally push the boat out, because of the moat. A 3 course meal in evening is 120 francs.  You can check out their menu on the website, and if you can resist "Rhubarb glazed duck breast with Ginger Polent" "Veal with Asparagus and Morille Flan" "Rhubarb crème brulée with lime sorbet," then I dont know what more I can say.

Dont say: I know this cheap little place on the edge of town...

Do say: I like all of your puddings, bring me several.
