Acqua Restaurant in Basel, Switzerland



Attending Baselworld, the largest luxury watches and jewelry trade show in the world... Tonight we are having dinner with old friends at Acqua, a former garage converted into an ultra chic restaurant, attached to a bar, a disco, as well as outdoor lounges... The food and wine were excellent. The seared foie gras appetizer melts in your mouth and the pleasure lingers on your palate... The Fillet Mignon is cooked to perfection... For dessert, a nice tiramisu.  The menu is a bit heavy, but then again, one can indulge once in a while...

Baked Donuts
