Beer, Wine & Small Plates

At Matt & Elly's, enjoyment isn't an afterthought – it's the main event. At our bar, we tap our own special brews directly from the brewery for you: fresh, full of character, and always a little different from the „standard.“ We also have a really great selection of wines – from easy-going to „wow,“ perfect for an aperitif or your next long evening.

When hunger briefly calls, our tapas are there to answer: seasonal, creative, and ideal for sharing. And for those who want to take the evening to the next level, simply stay seated and treat yourself to our fine dining: outrageously good, cooked with a lot of love, and just the right thing when you want something a little more special.

In short: first toast, then snack – and if you want, enjoy it to the fullest.

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.

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.
