Café Spitz, Historic brasserie at Mittlere Brücke, Basel, Switzerland.
The restaurant occupies a prominent position along the Rhine River, offering seasonal dishes and fish specialties from its indoor dining room and outdoor terrace.
Architect Amadeus Merian designed this commercial building between 1838 and 1840, commissioned by three societies of Kleinbasel to create a gathering space.
The establishment holds status as a Class B Swiss cultural property of regional significance, representing an essential part of Basel's architectural heritage.
Located at Rheingasse 2, the restaurant accommodates 80 guests indoors and 200 outdoors, operating from Wednesday to Saturday between 11:30 AM and 11:00 PM.
In February 2024, Café Spitz will cease operations due to renovation costs of 40 million Swiss francs needed for structural updates and earthquake protection.
