Restaurant Baschi, Furkastrasse 827, 3985 Geschinen

I drove past and saw a lot of cars parked there, so I turned around to try it. The steak was delicious. 😋

Excellent raclette & amazing ambiance, I advise!

This past Friday driving exercise for Olivia took us to Oberwallis and further on to the canton of Uri via the Furka railway tunnel before heading back to Pully in the evening. What was more obvious than stopping at Baschi's for an early dinner? This almost entirely carnivore palace has established its reputation on a rather simple but highly successfull concept; high quality meat, cooked on a vertical grill and served on a wooden plate together with one big, grilled tomato, as many oven grilled potatoes as you like, and butter . This is not a place for vegetarians although they may offer one vegetarian-like dish on the menu. We have eaten here for years and have noticed not only an expansion of the premises but also the need to reserve your table at any time of the day you might want to eat. This despite they don't stop serving between the classical lunch and dinner hours, which is a good concept for those that happen to travel by the restaurant, located on the northern side of the road through Oberwallis. The BBQ area is now operated by Sebastian, the son of the owners and the staff is there since years, kind and efficacious, under the iron-fist mother of Sebastian. As usual, I had grilled calf kidneys since this is one of few places still having kidneys and liver of calf on their menu. They were grilled to perfection. The wine list is long and very interesting for those looking for rare and high quality Wallis wines. Highly recommended!
