Restaurant BaCell's/Kaffi Biozentrum

Opened in 2021 (along with the building) to cater for the students enrolled in biology, neuro and life sciences at Basel's university, this cafeteria is a great option for an affordable lunch – the futuristic interior, which is strikingly similar to that of the Roche corporate headquarter in Basel's East, is an added bonus.

Address: Spitalstrasse 41
Hours: Mon-Fri 11:30-13:30
Price: Fr. 12.50/14.50 (mains)

Mensa Universität Basel
One of the students cafeterias. Serves an inexpensive lunch menu not only to students from Monday to Friday. By no means 'gourmet' food, but you can eat your lunch on the terrace during warm weather.

Café Spitz
Brasserie Spitz
Not simply a café - excellent seafood, with a nice terrace overlooking the Rhine. In the summer, there is a special menu with a variety of grilled fish. The outdoor seating area overlooking the Rhine has a reduced (and less expensive) menu.
