Bodega zum Strauss

Bodega zum Strauss is a long-standing Basel institution located on Barfüsserplatz, known for its lively atmosphere and eclectic identity. Despite the Spanish name, the restaurant is primarily rooted in Italian bistro cooking, combined with the feel of a classic Central European tavern.

The menu changes regularly: pasta dishes, home-style Italian cooking and seasonal specials form the core of the offering, alongside a strong wine culture.

Inside, the atmosphere is warm, crowded and slightly eccentric, mixing bistro interiors, art-covered walls and a convivial dining room that has long attracted Basel’s cultural and art crowd.
