Crescenda in Basel

Always new, delicious dishes from international cuisine. A wonderful garden here in the charming old villa, where you can enjoy a delicious lunch when the weather is nice. The idea behind it and the activities of the Crescenda association's start-up center for women with a background in migration are also worth mentioning.

A culinary microcosm in Basel with the wonderful ambience of an old founder's villa and an enchanted, idyllic garden oasis! An absolute must have for Basel's culinary fans, especially in spring and summer✌️

A very nice, atmospheric place for smaller events.

Lovely service and good food. Will come again. The social aspect is the reason we came here.

Very fine cuisine! Yesterday at a company event as a catering team that heard about it for the first time and was more than convinced by the project. Excellent! Continue like this. I will also visit you in your restaurant in the future.

Always very friendly service, sometimes you have to communicate with your hands and feet, always changing small lunch menus, with a view of a stately old garden behind the house. In summer the food is served in the garden, which is very cozy.

Garden restaurant with international specialties. This is how integration of refugee women works.

Wonderful food cooked by women with a migrant background. In our case Afghan.

Small portions but with good taste

Outstanding cuisine with a migration background. Every day there is a menu from a different country because the company employs refugees and as such does a great job.

Eating out in the city and being active in society; But that's a delicious idea

Fantastic food in an original, very friendly, family atmosphere. You eat in the living room of an old Wilhelminian style villa. The dishes are cooked with love, which you can also taste. However, you should be open to exotic tastes. If you like that and are curious, you won't be disappointed. I've been there several times and I'm already looking forward to the next time!

We stop by spontaneously, the food always tastes good, the service is friendly and tries to answer all questions. The restaurant is wonderful and cozy in this old city villa We will be back.

Delicious food - from a different country every day. A nice atmosphere for meetings and workshops. And what’s more, it’s a project worth supporting.

An oasis of calm after the stress of the city. Food very fine. Come back

After waiting for over 10 minutes without any response from the staff in the beautiful villa and our lunch break time was late, we decided to have take-away. We were led to a "staff only" door in front of a staircase where we were allowed to wait for our lunch box. The cashier was complicated and the lady was clearly overwhelmed by the operation of the card terminal. The lukewarm Thai dish in Styrofoam tasted good. Very moderately priced. Am I coming back? No, not really. It's a shame, you could do so many great things with such a location and such a concept. When looking through all the attacks in the villa, the question of inclusion arose for me. “We welcome people” or is it more like “We welcome women”?

Good service, very friendly staff, very good meal and inexpensive considering the quality!

I went for lunch on the day that they have Thai food and it was really tasty. We sat in the beautiful cosy garden. The service was really slow though; they apologized by saying that they had a wedding. I recommend it, but don't go if you need to have a quick lunch

Great villa, good food, friendly staff!!

I celebrated my birthday brunch at Crescenda. Very professional in organization. Brunch was SENSATIONAL. There was a large selection of everything from eggs to cheese. Additionally, flan and several sweet pastries. What was special was that they also served various oriental breakfast dishes. This is not just for my party. This is the Sunday brunch offer. Price/performance super fair. Location very nice!

Very tasty food, international dishes, place is well suited for seminar groups, very friendly staff

Vegetarian daily menu was super levker and inexpensive.

Pleasant atmosphere, very friendly staff, moderate prices, social background.

A nice bistro. The lunch offer is inexpensive (takeaway). The quality is also good. It tastes good every time and never disappoints. I always come over lunch. Can recommend it to everyone.

Great sushi course and a wonderful place to meet other cultures!

The best place in Basel without a doubt. You can't stop going.

Special foreign dishes! Every time a surprise, always tastes delicious! Especially nice if you can eat in the garden. Friendly, uncomplicated service, relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommended!

The bistro serves dishes from other countries every day. This is how you get away from everyday Italian, American or Swiss. Sometimes exotic, sometimes well-known or tried and tested, but always delicious!
