At last: restaurant in the former “Rägedropfe” shop is opening after all!
Almost one year after the initial announcement, the "Paseo" tapas restaurant will finally open this week at Theaterstrasse. Delicious times lie ahead.
There was a big shockwave when the owners of “Rägedropfe”, a traditional Basel restaurant, announced a year ago that it would close down. However, regulars were soon able to overcome their sadness. Only a few weeks later, the Unternehmen Parterre announced that they would replace it with a tapas restaurant and takeaway. For a time, there was no development, and the public had to wait until recently for an update. For a long time, nothing could be seen beyond the whitewashed windows. However, the wait is finally over.
Full speed ahead
The Spanish word “Paseo” means “stroll” in English – and now, you really can go for a nice walk to Theaterstrasse. On Friday, 12th January, the new tapas restaurant will open its doors at 6pm. “The location is very good, and of course we hope for a lot of reglar customers and word of mouth advertising,” Parterre marketing manager, Urs Mangold, said. Inside the restaurant, there are no reminders of the former raincoat shop – you feel like you’ve entered a region of southern Spain instead. Only a few days from now, the “Paseo” will offer sunny food even in grey and dreary January.

Relaxation after Fasnacht. The two days after the finale of this year’s Fasnacht are perfect to prepare yourself for the work week which lies ahead. In Basel, it is often the case that employees do not have to go to work during the two Cortège afternoons (Monday and Wednesday). Therefore, many people who work have to take two days of holidays in order to enjoy Fasnacht and the “drey scheenschte Dääg” to the fullest.
