"While eating the deer course of our menu, I bit into something extremely hard. It looked like a very small stone but was too round and the kitchen staff claimed it was a shotgun pellet used to kill the deer. While I almost cracked a tooth and was in pain, our server could barely manage to give an apology (certainly not a sincere one) and we were offered absolutely nothing as a gesture of goodwill in compensation for this. This for the supposed high experience of eating in a one-star restaurant and CHF 500 bill. Incredibly unsympathetic and disappointing. Worse, while not an expert, I find it extremely hard to believe that killing deer with fine birdshot pellets is in any way considered ethical. This surely cannot result in a fast death with minimal suffering to the animal. The restaurant needs to check that their suppliers practice ethical principles or they should be stopped from using them. Switzerland has very high standards for the ethical treatment of animals in different industries and a Michelin starred restaurant must be aware of this and adhere to it. Overall, a decent meal overshadowed by this ugly situation and a very underwhelming, unapologetic response by staff. Disappointed in Basel"

Basel, a vibrant city on the Rhine known for its museums and architecture, offers culinary delights like Basler Läckerli, a spiced biscuit, and hearty Swiss fondue.
