RESTAURANT, BAR & BREWERY

A PLEASURABLE EXPERIENCE AWAITS YOU

Imagine sitting in a casual taproom on East Burnside Street in Portland with a fruity, tart West Coast IPA in your hand. Then imagine you're dining in a typical Nordic-style restaurant in the Meat District in Copenhagen. You eat an al dente cooked pasta puttanesca; it is beautifully harmonious; colorful, salty, sour, fruity, a little lush and playful. For dessert, there is crème brulée with preserved blueberries. ‚Home is whenever I'm with you‘ can be heard subtly in the background. Your bag lies next to you on the soft bench. - That's you, in the Matt & Elly dining room! On one of the 100 seats in our Brewery & Kitchen and during the summer in the urban garden, you are our star. In typical Swiss style, we won't ask you for your autograph, but will welcome you with charm like everyone else.

Our menu

FINE-CASUAL DINING

Fine Casual Dining

From Tuesday to Saturday, starting at 6:30 PM, Matt's meticulously composed four or five-course menu awaits you, with vegetarian options or a meat and a fish course. Alternatively, you can freely combine individual creations from both menu lines. For the perfect accompaniment, we recommend our curated pairings: a house beer pairing, our sommelier's curated wine journey, or our non-alcoholic proxy wine pairing.

Starting from 4:30 PM, we serve fine tapas at the bar. Ideal as a delightful start or as an accompaniment to an aperitif before dinner.

A truly impressive story that leads to a happy ending through passion, attention to detail and a great desire for new discoveries - keep it up

Eldar Hernandez , via Facebook

Wonderful bar to try interesting beers from the brewery's own house brewery. The selection ranges from sour beer to high-proof and extremely tasty bock beer. It is also constantly refreshed with new creations from the master brewers. A place for craft beer lovers and for those destined to enjoy great beers in a friendly atmosphere.

Best Beer in Town (and more)
I can't list all the reasons why you absolutely MUST spend an evening at Matt & Elly, so I'll just list three:
1. the Rock-Away beer (there is nothing better)
2. the crispy duck (was part of the Surpise menu)
3. the cool urban atmosphere (in a not-so-well-known corner of Basel)
Definitely try it out! Thank you very much for your hospitality.
