Restaurant Iris

Restaurant Iris sits within the Merian Gardens, a peaceful botanical setting that transforms your wedding into an event surrounded by living plants and landscape. The restaurant offers multiple event spaces, including the larger New Barn hall which accommodates up to 250 guests. The gardens provide natural scenery for photography and a relaxed atmosphere that contrasts with urban venues while remaining close to Basel's center.

This appeals to couples wanting greenery and a garden aesthetic without renting a separate ceremony space elsewhere. The Merian Gardens setting gives your guests a sense of escape into nature, and the restaurant's indoor-outdoor flow works well for ceremonies in the gardens followed by dinner in the hall. If you're drawn to botanical surroundings and want your venue's beauty to be organic rather than decorated, Restaurant Iris delivers that naturally.
