HOTEL BrASSEriE Au ViOLON<br />

VIP contact: Nadia Würtz, General Manager<br />

Phone: +41 61 269 8711<br />

Email: info@au-violon.com<br />

Address: Im Lohnhof 4, 4051 <strong>Basel</strong><br />

Website: www.au-violon.com<br />

Cuisine: French<br />

Style / Ambiance: Rich in history and legend,<br />

the Lohnhof is the perfect setting for the<br />

elegant Hotel Brasserie Au Violon. The building<br />

dates back to 1060, and between 1821-25 it was<br />

the town’s police headquarters, becoming a<br />

prison from 1835 to 1995. Fortunately, today’s<br />

owners, Nadia and Frédéric Würtz, are far<br />

more welcoming. Au Violon offers a wonderful<br />

French-themed menu, that is shaped by the<br />

seasons and prepared by experts. In summer,<br />

guests can enjoy the peaceful garden terrace,<br />

near the beautiful Lohnhof Fountain. The<br />

unique character of this former jailhouse<br />

makes for a dining experience you won’t<br />

want to escape from. Groups of up to 15 are<br />

welcome, and for larger parties the special<br />

banquet room is recommended.<br />
