Restaurant de la Poste - Saint-Louis

I ate there twice, and both times the other patrons appeared to be either working stiffs or pensioners; some eating, some nursing beers. The furnishings and ambience were zilch. But I had one of the best escalope de veau a la creme ever. The rest...of the menu is standard, traditional French, which is what I wanted and is increasingly hard to find. Note to budget travelers: Prices at restaurants in the St Louis (Basel Airport) area are not much more than half of what you pay across the border in Switzerland. If I'm ever again at Basle Airport, you can bet I'll be back to Restaurant de la Poste.

Great relaxed atmosphere sitting out on the wide terrace overlooking the market square though you can sit inside in the very traditional french decor dining room. The Food is Traditional French with no pretensions. The cost of the food was a fraction of that in...Basel, but no worse and frankly better in quality. The wine was a 1/4 of the price in Basel and we had a very good bottle of Cote du Rhone Village Cairanne at well under €20 which would buy you a middling glass of wine in Basel. I had superb Alsace Garlic Snails followed by a very succulent Beef Fillet in cream pepper sauce which was cooked to perfection. A short bus trip out of Basel across the border into France, this is a transformation in character and prices. Feeling rather run down in comparison to wealthy Basel, it offers very good food at a fraction of the cost of food in Basel. St Louis is effectively a opart of Basel but in France. One word of warning. There are pick pockets. A friend in our group had over €400 stolen from his wallet in his jacket hung over the back of his chair. They took the wallet to remove the money and then returned it to his pocket unnoticed. My Creme Brulee was good and far better than the one we had in Switzerland at four times the cost.

We stumbled over this place on our walk from basel, where we remain for business. de la post is a local pub so that the decor is very rustic and it is full of natives, so visitors seem made out of place but the waitress...we feel welcome even though we don't speak French and eating was excellent. I had the kalbs with mushrooms and the 6 of us from Australia, Great Britain, Hungarian and Australian who travel a lot for the work all agreed that they will make the best 4-cheese pizza ever. thank you for making an unforgettable evening. shhhh, it is a hidden shade.

This beautiful place was recently taken over. no changes and improvements were made. an unpleasant service leads to a very cloudy and popular place being turned into nothing. what a shame. excellent location, but the soul of the place is gone

Perfect, friendly staff and good food! even if they only go for a drink, it will still be a pleasant experience to visit a restaurant!
