Avant-gouz - Basel

The food is decent but the service is slow. We were seated at 12:30 ready to order and we only got the food at 13:45 with the Restaurant half empty. They didn’t apologize but brought me a new tea as mine got cold waiting. When...you try to call for a reservation they are a bit brüsk in rejecting you. When you do succeed at making a reservation you get seated in the very back at the worst table. We went there four times in the last year , thinking every time that they were having a bad day and hoping it would be better (for the sake of some pancakes) but the service is always thoughtless at best.

Great atmosphere, but incredibly exorbitant prices: Brunch for 15. means: A little salad with a small piece of quiche, a piece of old bread (from the day before? , 1 small smoothie and a cracker. A scrambled egg and a cappuccino cost an additional 10.50. For >25. I have had a much better brunch

I recently had lunch at Avant Gouz with a group of friends, some of whom have food allergies. I was deeply disappointed by the staff 's lack of knowledge regarding the ingredients in their dishes. When asked if a particular dish contained fava beans, the only response we received was vegetables. It 's alarming and unacceptable that a restaurant is unaware of what they are serving, especially when customers ' health and safety are at stake. I found this experience quite unsettling and would urge potential diners to exercise caution if they have dietary restrictions.

It's a lovely place with a great variety of brunch food in a cozy ambiente. They serve a lot of vegetarian and vegan options. The matcha latte and the veggie plate were both very delicious, and I can only recommend it. The smoothie was freshly made with orange and pineapple, and even their pesto and hummus are homemade amazing!

Favorite Brunch Place in Basel. Feels like you’re eating at a family friends place. Can only recommend. The Egg Benedict is incredibly tasty!!
