Where to eat: the 50 best restaurants in the Canton of Basel

To be honest i was a little disappointed. First of all the good points. -if you ask questions they are dutifully answered and even though they tried to accommodate your requests as good as possible. -the food was mostly very very good. A few dishes were not fitting into the concept somehow but overall superb quality of cooking -when mentioned we had some books to sign we were even shown the patisserie. -the armosphere was amazing. The things which didn’t go so well: -the wine pairing was completely out of synch with dinner. They poured the next wine before we even finished the last one. -the amouse bouche was somehow in a weird order and the one we tried first was overwhelming every taste. -the first starter was absolutely not fitting. -the apero was extraordinary expensive. This is something which bothers me generally. They never tell you how much an apero will cost even though it is important and 35 per glass is outrageous if you only get it on the bill. -we paid 1200 chf for two people and for that it wasn’t good enough to be honest. Most expensive star experience so far and i think other ones were much better.

We had lunch here and it was a feast. Every dish was very pretty yet never exaggerated. No artificial show elements. It is all about taste and textures. The cutlery and plating are even downright simple, nothing special, but you don‘t eat out to see knives and forks. Tanja greeted us at our table which was very nice. The atmosphere is pleasant, no music! Most guests seem to be locals having a regular lunch on a weekday, apparently the neighborhood is rich.

Dining at Tanja Grandits was a true honour and memorable experience. We were lucky to find a table on the Jul 31st, the evening before Swiss National Day. We were especially delighted that the chef herself came out to serve us the first dish — a wonderful personal touch. Each course was exquisite, with unique flavours highlighted by creative use of herbs and spices. The portions were decent and satisfying, and the service throughout was warm, friendly, and attentive. A fantastic dining experience all around. A restaurant which I would love to come back again.

Indulging in the culinary experience at Tanja Grandits was an absolute delight! The food was truly exceptional, showcasing flavors that took my taste buds on an unforgettable journey. However, what elevated the entire experience was the impeccable wine pairing suggested by the knowledgeable sommelier. Each selection beautifully complemented the dishes and offered a global tour of flavors, making every sip an adventure. Without a doubt, investing in the wine pairing was worth every penny for the added dimension it brought to an already outstanding dining experience.

In the 9 course meal, I would be surprised if at least 3 did not leave you utterly impressed. However, at the level of perfection that you expect from a restaurant that has 2 Michelin stars and at the price point they operate any detail less than perfect should be noted. These include: 1. The butter temperature when initially served was a few degrees too cold. Making it hard to spread. It reached ideal temperature around 90 minutes after it was first served. 2. The bill took too long to be brought after the dinner was complete. Over 20 minutes waiting without a clear way to request it again since our table was not in direct line of sight to waiters after their service was complete. 3. The meat dish towards the end was not as impressive as some of the earlier dishes. Specifically, the meat did not have the “cuts like butter” tenderness one comes to expect at this level of experience. All that being said, it is worth the experience and the level of organization and precision throughout are noteworthy.

The food was excellent, the service was excellent, and the ambience had a quiet elegance without being too stuffy. It was a wonderful place to celebrate my birthday. Sending my warmest thanks to your lovely team for making my birthday special. They were gluten-free friendly.

I read some time ago, when eating at a 2 Michelin Star restaurant, you should have a continuous Oh Wow experience! A restaurant such as the Stucki, that also has 19 Gault Millau points should definitively give you that experience. Unfortunately we did not :-(. We were a party of 6. It started all good, the first few courses, of the 9 course dinner, were nice, perfectly made and presented. But then, it started to go downhill. The service was mediocre, the dishes lacked TLC (tender loving care). The meat dish was disappointing, rather tough and chewy, not what one expects in this price class. The cheese dish in the end was another utter disappointment. The cheese must have just come out the fridge, it was cold and hard, reminded me of a Migros Budget cheese!! The service, because of the many different servers, was a bit unorganized. At times it felt too busy around us, without anything happening. Last but not least, when dining in such a supposed class restaurant, one would expect, that somebody from the kitchen is coming out to the table to inquire how the guests are doing. But, no such thing happened. When asking where the Chef was, we were told Ms. Grandits was sick. The next morning we read in a local newspaper, she was attending the opening of a new local store!!!! Really??? Tell the truth!! didn’t already our parents told us that?? All in all, never again, in this price class I expect perfection

Nice restaurant close the the station with outside seating away from cars. The food was Italian with a twist. The starter (sweetbread) came with some tough brown crackers which didn’t taste very nice and were a bit tough. The octopus for the main was nice but the portion of rice was a bit missing flavour. Service was friendly, atmosphere was relaxed

We had a wonderful experience at Acqua in Basel. The place is stunning – an old water pumping station turned into a stylish industrial-chic restaurant with a lovely terrace. Perfect atmosphere for both a relaxed dinner and a special occasion. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the Italian-inspired dishes were beautifully presented with fresh, high-quality ingredients. We especially enjoyed the pasta and seafood options. The only small downside is that it can get a bit noisy when it’s busy, and sometimes service takes a little longer. Overall, a great spot in Basel that I would definitely recommend!

Amazing food, very friendly and smiley stuff, speaking italian for fun with us and I loved it. But the food was amazing. Oh, I already said that 😉 interesting interior and lovely lovely garden, hope that life brings me back here!

Amazing service, friendly, good recommendations, always checking if we needed anything. Octopus antipasto was amazing, the sea bass main dish was food but lack a bit of more flavour. It was also very small.

The food was very good. The service was quite good except that they spilled the drink they were bringing me on my shirt and chair. The atmosphere is nice, a bit unique but nothing that adds a lot of the experience.

I visited this wonderful place last year. I recommend coming in the dusk/evening as the place is beautifully set out and atmospherically lit. The food was fantastic; I had scallops that were cooked to perfection, then rabbit, which was melt in the mouth. I can't recall the wine we selected but it was excellent. If anything, it's a little bit pricey, but it's a wonderful place to go for a romantic meal or special occasion.

We came here on our last night in Basel for our anniversary. Really great atmosphere, they sat us next to the fireplace (very romantic). The staff were great , food awesome! We had a great night that we will not soon forget! Thanks Acqua

We had a wonderful stay at the hotel. Everything was very nice — the place was beautiful and spotless, and the room was fresh and comfortable. The breakfast was incredible, and the staff was always kind and helpful. We had a small issue during our stay, but the manager stepped in and helped us solve it quickly, for which we are truly grateful. Overall, a great experience and we’d definitely recommend it!

Clean, beautiful design hotel. Excellent service. Clean modern gym, you can reserve sauna for private use. Breakfast is delicious. Location excellent, and my favorite plus was that every floor has their own beverage station with still or sparkling water from a tap, and espresso maker and tea with fresh fruit 24hrs a day

Stayed in Basel a few times...this is one of the nicest hotels I have used. Very friendly team...modern vibe. Lovely rooms, good breakfast and handy location....tram stop just around the corner. Would recommend and will be heading back for my next trip to Basel.

Great hotel, great design and good service. Room very comfortable with a super king bed, quality linens and ultra quiet. However the bed is very soft and only two pillows are provided. The hotel has a restaurant/bar, co working space, gym and sauna. Love the design and concept. Excellent location.

Perfect place to stay in Basel! Nice hotel, perfect location and super friendly staff. The breakfast buffet offers everything you"ll need to have a solid start into the day and beyond! Last but not least: The parking indoor is very convenient in case you travel by car! You wont use it for your time in Basel since the hotel provides you the Basel card with free public transportation.

"Stillness & Style at Nomad Hotel" I didn’t stay at the hotel, but I had the chance to do a creative shoot at Nomad. The space is stunning — modern, calm, and full of character. The team was warm, professional, and open to sharing the spirit of the place. Sharing a short video from the session to offer a glimpse into the atmosphere. If you’re looking for a place that blends design, soul, and serenity — Nomad might be worth a visit.

We stayed at NOMAD over the weekend. It has been a great experience. The room was very generous, stylish mainly concrete and warm wood. We loved the impressive high ceilings and accordingly doors, the very big shower and the minimalistic design of the furniture. Comfortable bed, natural linen, and ecological attention were also a plus point. So as the caffe, tea and water facilities at the rooms floor. Very nice and cosy library..don't miss it ! Very good and various breakfast. A young ,stylish cosy and welcoming hotel . Will come back for sure

My husband and I celebrated a wedding anniversary at The Brasserie. It was a perfect evening; we thoroughly enjoyed the upscale ambience, the view of the beautiful Rhine, the personable service and of course the exquisite food and drinks. We would like to express our gratitude to Mr David and Mr Hervé: they both made our time at the restaurant extra special with their warm humour and sincere friendliness. The entire team signed a hand-written card for our anniversary - a memory we will cherish forever. Thank you all so much! ❤️ We think you are world-class and we can’t wait to be back.

We visited to celebrate our wedding anniversary, and it was such a wonderful experience. The flavors were unique, the service was outstanding, and the recommendations were spot on. They truly made us feel special with their surprises. A big thank you to Alisa for her warm hospitality and friendly conversation!

Outstanding food, great service - everything is smooth and perfectly tied together. Any special request is granted as if it were normal. Location is great, overlooking the river

Brasserie Les Trois Rois – Basel, Switzerland An unforgettable dining experience in the heart of Basel. I enjoyed a candlelit dinner at the Brasserie and it was flawless from start to finish. The ambiance strikes that rare balance between elegance and warmth — perfect for both private evenings and hosted client dinners. The menu was beautifully curated, rooted in Swiss and French tradition, with every dish plated like art and full of flavor. Service was attentive even on a very busy night, and you could feel the team’s commitment to creating a memorable experience for every guest. If you’re in Basel and want to experience timeless European dining with impeccable hospitality, the Brasserie Les Trois Rois is a must. - Michelle

Wow, 5 stars for food, ambiance, and service. Each dish was so well executed. I had the turbot with risotto; the fish was perfectly tender, and I loved the tangy sauce that tied the risotto together. The salad was also excellent- so fresh, with crunchy, flavorful bits on top and just the right amount of dressing. And I love that they wheel out their dessert offerings so you can point and choose, like a dim sum cart ha! :)

We visit Basel once a year from Italy and each year we always have dinner here. It is always a highlight of our trip. Truly one of the best dining experiences from the time you arrive until the time you leave. Mr. Mahler, the restaurant manager sets a wonderful tone for the experience with his passion for providing an amazing, memorable experience. Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted by Daniele. He gladly accommodated our request to sit at a table of our waiter, Francesco. Francesco is the epitome of excellence. His passion for providing an exceptional experience is only surpassed by his knowledge and kind, warm demeanor. We look forward to seeing him each time, a wonderful man. Bravo Francesco. The meal itself, is always exceptional. The menu provides both imaginative and traditional French and Swiss cuisine. The quality of the elements and wonderful flavors always the best. The atmosphere, overlooking the Rhine with candlelit tables and warm decor ties it all together, in a truly memorable experience. Thank you and see you next year!

Outstanding dinner at the Brasserie of Les Trois Rois. The sole meunière was perfect, and the service impeccable. Refined, professional, and truly memorable.

Quite good service initially but food a big let down. Steak (frites) was so tough as to be inedible. Waiter who cleared away plates didn’t enquire how our meals were but was happy to ask if to wanted to add a tip. Another colleague started to set up the breakfast tables beside us not halfway through our meal (20.15 reservation)

My friend and I stayed here - we found the studio room to feel spacious and modern. I particularly loved the dark green colour scheme throughout the hotel. The shower and toilet were separate, and I liked the concept of drawing curtains around the bathroom area after stepping out of the shower for privacy. The hotel is located very conveniently near the historic Mittlere Brücke (bridge) and the Claraplatz tram station, where the No.8 tram can take you to Basel's main train station (e.g. to then get to the airport) and also into Germany, Weil am Rhein! Coop and Migros are also nearby for food shopping. Each floor has a water, tea, and fruit station, which was great. The downside was our room didn't have a mini fridge, so we weren't able to keep any drinks or food that required refrigeration. Additionally, the table in our room also only had one chair (and a lower reclining chair in the corner) so we weren't able to sit at the table together.

We were at the bar. The cocktails were delicious and service friendly but the loaded fries were terrible. Cheep truffle aroma and congealed Parmesan on top of what would have been decent fries.

Went there for a business dinner and apero. It was a lovely setting with very good food and service. It is well located and 1 min walk from the tram. I am not sure about the price but I assume on the high end of a Swiss restaurant

We stopped for dinner in their beautiful courtyard in the evening. We were seated quickly and service was friendly and efficient. The food was amazing. We all had steak frites. It certainly isn't cheap but then I guess it is in Switzerland!

The staff were exceptionally friendly and professional, but the food itself was fairly mediocre and felt overpriced for the quality.

Great vibe, quirky hotel, delicious drinks. Kim was amazing in the bar and very informative about the local produce from the area. Rooms were very clean and tidy and local area was nearby with lots of interesting attractions - entertainment, food, bars and a barber all within 5 minutes

If I had to pick one word to describe Cheval Blanc, it would be impeccable. From the greeting as we arrived a bit early to the flawless dining experience and finally, the unexpected, super enjoyable after dinner drinks and cigar bar, this dining experience was unrivaled. Our group of 4 came to Basel for one night and were fortunate enough to score a lunch reservation Friday, May 9th. From the moment we stepped into the stunning hotel and absolutely beautiful restaurant we knew our experience would be memorable. As we arrived early, we were greeted immediately and escorted to the bar area right outside the main restaurant. It was almost as if they expected us early. We drank some champagne before entering the main restaurant experience right on time. The dining room was tastefully decorated and the subtle touches (i.e. candles) made the experience special. The setting along the Rhine River was just one more Iconic element. The dining room was full and at the same time entirely intimate. We knew there were other guests in the room with us, but never really felt or heard their presence. To say the food was amazing is to sell it short. When you dine at an establishment like Cheval Blanc, you expect the food to be exceptional. The food on this day was more than up to the task. Two of us were grateful that the chef allowed us to substitute for our main protein course. The presentation was amazing with each course seemingly looking and tasting better than the previous one. I will post a few pictures and hope you will accept our apologies for the one course/picture that has a spoon in it. That course looked (and was) so delicious that we all started eating before we took a picture. The cheese course was a welcome and unique experience for us. Note: the picture I posted was AI adjusted as we removed the photobombers (coworkers and other patrons) from the picture. No cheese was altered by AI. The wine list was extensive and impressive and our selections matched up well to our menu. The Cheval Banc team was a perfect accompaniment to the food and drink. The entire team worked with precision, knowing just when to serve the next course with compelling descriptions. The team was personal and engaging, yet never intrusive. Flawless in execution while at the same time graceful in delivery. Our chef came out at the end of our meal and engaged our table for a few minutes. He was authentically interested in learning about our experience and outwardly pleased we enjoyed our time. To finish off the day, our group was escorted to the Cigar Bar for drinks and a smoke. It could not have been a better setting for our nightcap (err, day cap). The setting was reminiscent of a scene from a James Bod movie. Yet again, we felt refreshingly alone in a room with multiple groups present and our experience only enhanced by the people serving us. Our only regret was cutting or trip to Basel short by a day. Hopefully we will have a chance to return to the wonderful city on a future trip and be lucky enough to dine at Cheval Blanc again. Maybe we will see you there!

First and foremost, a big thank you to the staff. They made our evening a memorable. The atmosphere was fantastic. The food was delicious. It was elaborately prepared and served by passionate staff. Thank you.

this was our 3rd michelin experience in Basel and unfortunately the most disappointing. We had the 6 course dinner menu with wine pairing. Nothing felt exceptional about a 3 michelin star restaurant here. We really expected an elevated experience, but it felt quite flat. The starters and even the menu itself were not very memorable. We liked the main courses of fish and deer but besides that, nothing stood out. We had to fill up on bread since we were not even close to being full. Also there was almost no explanation of why a particular wine was paired with a food; we were only given the description of the wine. We also asked many questions about the origins of the ingredients and most of the staff were unaware. Overall, did not feel even close to the 4 digit price tag we ended up paying.

Tldr: Excellent three Michelin star restaurant in a beautiful setting. Come hungry if you're having the prix fixe menu. Came for dinner. Ordered the six course prix fixe menu. Got 14 courses. Not disappointed. The service is excellent, the setting is beautiful, and the food is always high quality. I wasn't blown away by any single dish, like I often am when dining at a place of this caliber, but everything was very good, and there was a lot of variety. It's an excellent experience, but be prepared to linger over dinner. We arrived at 7:15 and left at 11pm.

Technical knowledge and understanding of flavours on show. Some of the best fish and seafood dishes I have eaten. Sea urchin outstanding and sole was inspired. The main course lacked cohesion and cooking of the lamb missed the mark for me. Service was formal, and attentive. Some low level music would help to break down the stuffy and stiff atmosphere.

Great food, Great experience. Highly recommended. I can see why they earned the Michelin Stars. Each dish was unique and flavourful. My favorite part was the briefcase filled with chocolate that was presented at the end of the meal.

It's obviously amazing since it didn't get three stars by chance but even with high expectations it was outstanding. Delicious food compositions, flawless service and a sophisticated atmosphere.

If you’re looking for an authentic Lebanese or Arab restaurant, Za Zaa - Lebanese Soul Food is not the place for you. Despite its name, this is actually a vegetarian restaurant, with only two or three Lebanese-inspired dishes on the menu. The rest of the food has little to do with Lebanese or Middle Eastern cuisine. That being said, if you’re vegetarian or vegan, you might enjoy the variety of plant-based dishes they offer. However, be prepared for high prices, as the food is quite expensive for what you get. The restaurant is also very crowded, which can make it a bit uncomfortable during peak hours. On the positive side, the staff is highly professional and quick, ensuring a smooth dining experience. If you’re specifically searching for Lebanese food, I’d recommend looking elsewhere, but if you’re open to a vegetarian menu and don’t mind the price, you might enjoy it.

Delicious food, good and nice service. One of the best Lebanese restaurants I have eaten in. Hummus is especially tasty. Make sure you reserve when you want a table on the terrace in the evening!

We were at Zazaa today for lunch and thought there would be meat, but one of the male staff treated us a little strangely and too nicely, as if we were children or because we were women. That was upsetting for us. We left the restaurant because we wanted to eat meat. The atmosphere and the other staff were nice and it also smelled good. So, this restaurant is definitely good for vegetarians.

Stumbled upon this restaurant on my way back to hotel Rochat, and the smell of food was wavering to the street. The waitresses Sam, Debbi and Laura were very warm and friendly, the food was absolutely delicious and fulfilling and the atmosphere was relaxing with the oriental decor and the little Persian style carpets. Would definitely visit again and again

I love this restaurant always visit once a month ! But when it’s a bit full the service is bad honestly asked twice for something and got ignored. Cuisine is good !

We went to eat at Zazaa with a group today. The food was okay, but a little too bland for my taste. However, the restaurant is very attractive and pretty throughout. The waiter who served us, on the other hand, was not so great. He was inattentive, didn't really take care of us and played around on his mobile phone from time to time. He was actually more interested in the female guests sitting with us. Was a bit annoying honestly… At least the other staff were very nice and friendly.

Left Without Ordering- lots of young waitstaff at the hostess station and lots of empty tables. They seated us right next to an office door that opens and closes and one person can only look at the door. We asked to move to one of the many other open two seat tables but were told that they were all reserved? Did not like his attitude. Then we realized the appetizer plate was dirty with a visible streak of something left on it. Left without ordering. I know they know we’re just tourists and that they’ll never see us again but that’s just not good business.

For visiting Basel, this is on my 'must go' list. Their vegan Planted Steak is artfully seasoned - flavorful, tender, and meaty. The staff was friendly and appropriately attentive. Love my meals here!

We recently tried Latini, reserved a table for dinner was easy via online reservation. Location is very central. But the supposedly italian experience was not what we expected the Spaghetti Vongole was bitter taste of burnt garlic the clams were tasteless.. the Ravioli di ricotta e spinaci al burro e salvia First and foremost Ricotta is a delicate cheese when not freshly made it got dry and tasteless. We were speechless dining in this called Italian Restaurant as theres nothing Italian here… though Bruciato saved our night! Antipasti, Primo, Secondo and Dessert Menu even tried their espresso.. Highly NOT recommended if you tasted the real Italian cuisine.. Dont eat here its a scam and a tourist trap..

We enjoyed a meal at Ristorante Latini in May 2025. Just a short walk from the tram station in Barfusserplatz, Ristorante Latini is tastefully decorated and is larger inside than it seems. I had the Kalbfleisch saffron risotto and found it quite delicious, although the portion was a touch on the small side. I also enjoyed a cream of asparagus soup as a starter, which was absolutely amazing. Prices were good and reasonable for Switzerland. As with most restaurants in Switzerland it was a bit warm and stuffy inside for my liking, and it wasn't particularly hot out yet. Fortunately a couple of cold beers helped to make the climate in the restaurant more bearable.

I liked the cosy atmosphere, with candles on the tables. Service was good. To be honest, I didn't care so much for the spaghetti all’aglio, olio e peperoncino, which felt very heavy on the stomach. I had expected it to be lighter. Maybe another time, I will opt for something different. Very nice presentation of the wine, though: Rather than just a glass of wine, it was presented in a mini carafe, which I liked very much.

The service and atmosphere were great. Everyone looked happy. The Lasagne was a little dense but the sauce was fantastic. I would still go back for sure.

My very beloved restaurant in Basel. Nice welcome, delicious food, good wine list. Always go with good friends to chill. We go almost once a week. I like the seafood spaghetti most 😃

Spacious interior with bar an restaurant part, menu with lots of choice of well known Italian dishes. Quality and taste of the food good. Average sized servings. The personal parmasan cheese grater you get with the pasta dishes is nice gimmick. Had dinner here on a late Sunday evening. Staff very friendly and service is fast.

Amazing food served by great and personable service in a vibrant Italian mood. When we asked off-hand if they could make a cheese board for dessert they drummed something up and didn’t charge us! Tiramisu was also delicious.

Unfortunately the food was very disappointing, especially for the price! Both our pastas were extremely salty and otherwise just tasteless. The server was not really friendly either and he definitely did not like the fact that we did not want starters and rushed things from then on. The terras itself was nice enough but all in all it was not the warm and welcoming place you would be looking for. We do not recommend at all, if you're a foodie and/or want value for your money, don't go here!

We had dinner here last night - great Italian cuisine; friendly and attentive service Great place for a dinner when visiting Basel

Stopped for a coffee, delicious and authentic italian. Friendly staff.

We had a fantastic dinner here, great menu, fast and super friendly service and the food was simply fantastic

We had a lovely authentic italian experience. The food was lovely and very tasty! We loved the Filet de Manzo

Food was incredibly salt have never tasted that salt, calamares very small cut and saltibocca with simple vegetables. I can understand why the place was almost empty...

Fantastic late meal at Flavours of Jerusalem was delicious all fresh food and freshly cooked, an amazing blend of flavors. . Best lamb cutlets I've ever had and I'm from the UK! Delicious home made lemon drink to go with it.

We had such a great lunch here! Tried the zucchini pasta with burrata and it was absolutely delicious – fresh, perfectly balanced flavors and really well made. The atmosphere in the Markthalle is relaxed but lively, and service was quick and friendly. Definitely a spot I’d come back to for authentic, simple but elevated Italian food. 🍝✨

10/10 Diverse food options from around the world. A great place to connect with people and enjoy the cuisine you prefer. From Parisian, Korean, and Thai to Italian, it has it all. On weekends, it can get quite busy. No table reservations possible unless it’s a corporate event.

First of all its location is great, very close to Basel Station. The tram station is just outside. It's a huge hall under the biggest dome in Europe built in 1929. There are food stalls from almost all over the world. Beside there is a wine cellar and a big bar. On certain days in the morning they also sell fresh fruits and vegetables. Its a free seating. After you order your food, they give you a beeper. Meanwhile you can select your seating place. One can also sit on outdoor patio. After going through all stalls, we had our lunch at Goi's Thai Kitchen. The food and service was very good. However our favorite was Schokolade, a great place for deserts. We had Tiramisu and Chocolate cake, very yummy. Different stalls have different timings for opening and closing. Worth visiting...

Super authentic Chinese food! Definitely check it out!! (More spicy than you would expect but super authentic spicy!

Place was buzzing, I mainly went for the craft beer bar but looked amazing for selection and was really busy, everything looked delicious

Food from all around the world. We had Amani's Afghan Food and it was delicious!

Rubino is a very special restaurant for me! It’s small but elegantly decorated and from the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with a genuinely warm welcome. They take the time to explain the dishes, ask about any food allergies and consider your dietary preferences. As a starter, the German bread served with Swiss butter and Turkish olive oil was such a lovely surprise for me! Every dish we tried was delicious and carefully prepared. I highly recommend you experience this place for yourself it’s truly worth it! It’s also a perfect spot for a date! ✨ We had such a lovely and flavorful evening that we completely lost track of time.. If you’re ever in the area, make sure to stop by, it’s an experience you won’t want to miss!

It takes a lot of trust to pay more than 100f for a three course meal that you have no idea what you will be eating, but every mouthful was exquisite! The wine accompaniment was delightful - completely new grape varieties and flavours that suited the wine perfectly. Magnificent! Situated in a quiet street minutes walk from the Basel Kunstmuseum.

Rubino is an absolute gem of a restaurant and wine bar! From the moment you step inside, the cozy and inviting ambiance sets the tone for an unforgettable dining experience. The atmosphere feels warm and intimate, making it the perfect spot for a relaxing evening. The food is nothing short of amazing. Each dish was prepared to perfection, with flavors that left a lasting impression. It’s clear the chefs put immense care and thought into every plate. Pair that with their impressive wine selection, and you have a match made in culinary heaven. The service and staff are truly exceptional. Everyone we encountered was friendly, attentive, and made us feel like valued guests. Their genuine hospitality made such an impression that we couldn’t resist going back for a second night in a row. Rubino is a place that leaves you wanting more, and it’s a must-visit if you’re looking for a memorable dining experience. I can’t recommend it enough!

Friendly service, Good dinner. Only surprise “Omakase” course you can have, but they offer some flexible options including vegetarian menu. It seems to be a bit expensive, need to be better. You may feel potential of them but some dish is missing something like balance of taste, some of them is too salty. The wine selection is great.

Full disclosure: My recollection of the food that I had isn't very clear. A fact, less attributable to the food and more to the circumstances of the evening. I do remember the service being excellent, very attentive and knowledgeable at guiding us through the various courses of the surprise menu. Especially one of the wine pairings was a highlight for me. The vibe was very welcoming which was especially important due to the beforementioned circumstances: I was on a date. And I hadn't been in a while. And it was perfect. Thank you for creating an athmosphere where two people can walk in, sit down and get to know eachother. Thank you for not having any friction and requiring few decisions. Exactly the right experience when your stomach is empty and filled with butterflies at the same time.

Sleek and sophisticated innovative restaurant. Nice friendly service. With table cloths.

Fantastic evening at Rubino. Second time here and it doesn’t disappoint! First time we had the 4 course surprise menu, this time the 5 course menu. Everything extremely tasty, especially the second course (mushroom dish with black walnuts). Perfectly paired wine menu that doesn’t leave you wanting more. Very good value!

Melina and Sasha were outstanding with food and wine pairing recommendations!! One of the best meals we have had recently! We were visiting Basel for just one night and Taverne Johann was a highlight of our trip! Highly recommended!

My partner & I were lucky enough to get a table as we had not booked. We had what I consider to be one of best dining experiences I’ve ever had, everything was perfect. I had Coq au Vin, absolutely delicious. My partner had Venison sausage with potato, gravy & mustard, he loved it. We were given a basket of complimentary bread, superb! Service was friendly, helpful & attentive. And the restaurant itself is very charming in an understated way, lots of mood lighting with tealight candles, very pretty. The restaurant filled up quickly, I would strongly recommend booking a table. If I lived in Basel (we’re from Australia), this would be my go-to restaurant for special occasions.

Fantastic cozy little restaurant. The chef puts a lot of thought into the beautiful and inventive dishes he prepares. Delicious of course. There's also a great selection of wines and drinks. Highly recommend that you book ahead. As starter, I had a "black forest cake" that's actually a mini tower of smoked trout, cured ham, pate and dark bread, dressed with melon and more cured ham shaving around it. As main course, I had a more "traditional" dish of stewed knuckles (lammhaxe) but hidden around the sauce reduction and salad are these crunchy bits of crusted flour helped along by perfectly stir fried kale leaves that bring this heartwarming old school dish a textured delight in every bite. This review is already getting a little long. So, all I'll say about dessert is that it's a deconstructed classic that made me want more of the meringue and berries, and I don't usually eat either. I would have gone back if I had a second night in Basel, and it seems they only open for dinner.

Beautiful dining experience. Kudos to the cooks for the quality of the course, amazing flavors. It was a real pleasure, will definitely come back.

Slow food is great, but this is slow for the sake of slow. 40 minutes for a cheese plate is absurd. Food is good, portions are gourmet and tiny. Would not recommend based solely on the absurd and arrogant service.

What a wonderful find! Our first night in Basel. The food wine and dessert were all exceptional. The waiter went out of his way describing everything to us!

you can choose menu to make your own course! nice wine selection

Food is good, just overpriced for the amount of food that you get. Service is very disorganized (if you’ve never been to the place and you make a reservation, there is no one to receive you at the entrance and explain to you what to do or to ask about your reservation) and the place is very loud.

Very nice place for a break in the city, and have a drink. The waitress was super nice and very smiley. Despite the crowd, we were served quickly. And the coffee was good and really nicely presented :) we would go again !

I like the place. Their biggest advantage is their open hours, combined with good coffee quality. I liked the meals I have tried so far. The lemon cake is very good. Attention is good and kind. You have to order yourself at the bars. The noise is usually loud inside, the place is big and cozy.

Absolutely the best café in Basel! Every time I visit the city, my day starts with breakfast at Unteremitte. It’s become my little ritual. The place has such a relaxed vibe, the staff are super friendly, and everything they serve is top quality. I love their coffee and fresh Gipfeli (forgive my pronunciation 😅). It always feels warm and welcoming. Can’t wait to be back.

Visiting Unternehmen Mitte is always a pleasure - they serve some of the best coffee in Basel, and the atmosphere is always very welcoming. I also really appreciate that there‘s no pressure to order anything in order to stay. On this particular visit, I had a homemade iced tea and the raspberry cheesecake - both were delicious, highly recommended! My friend ordered a cold chai and the lemon cheesecake. While the chai was great, the lemon cheesecake was a bit disappointing, the base was overly lemony, and she couldn‘t finish it. That aside, we both really enjoyed our time there!

The place looks nice and the staff are kind, but the problem clearly lies with the management. The delays are excessive, and it’s obvious there are not enough employees. Prices are normal – not cheap – so customers should expect proper service, not long waits and self-service frustration. This trend in Switzerland where you pay full price but do half the work yourself is getting tiring. The owners should hire more staff and rethink the concept before relying on aesthetics to make up for poor organization.

Very spacious restaurant in a great location with good vegetarian/vegan food. The coffee and the brunch were delicious and came with a lot of food. We went on a Saturday morning and it wasn’t busy but I would recommend to book a table if going with a group.

Creative. Delicious. Great concept with the same sized portion. Kind service. Highlight was the filled ravioli! Definitely a gourmet restaurant but with reasonable prices!

Nice food, but slow. Long wait between courses. Service was very slow - which was surprising for a Michelin guide restaurant. Cutlery wasn’t replaced or changed between courses; after the cocktails we requested right at the start of the meal, we weren’t asked if we wanted anything else to drink throughout the meal; we had to ask for more water after our bottle was empty for 20 mins. A nice restaurant, but being Michelin guide raised our expectations to other similar restaurants and overall we were left disappointed.

Wow. First of all, the atmosphere was amazing - intimate and cozy yet modern. But man, the food was incredible! I think the menu rotates but some of my favorites were the celery/white chocolate/quinoa soup, grilled lettuce with potato ice cream & truffle shavings, truffle tagliatelle w egg, and the venison with spatzle and cherry. Prices are set for 3, 4, or 5 plates per person; my friend and I ordered 4 each (to try the full menu of 8 items total) and we were quite full (but very happy). The service was great, from recommending good wines to asking if we needed a break between courses (which we did). Overall, it was excellent!!

My review is based on the bar, as I didn’t have dinner there. It felt a bit overrated, cocktail was just a regular cocktail not even cold enough…. You pay more for the views of the terrace that in the weekend is too crowded (no music in the background ) just a lot of noise of someone’s else conversations

Excellent dinner - especially the soup with asparagus stood out! Wine was well selected as well. Will definitely come back. Three vegetarian options were available.

Combination of beyond boundaries world food, such as kimuchi, katsuo-dashi, greek cheese, chili, coriander, olive and so on… You would be surprised at how they mush up each typical traditional food and ingredients of each country and region. It is very creative but looks and taste is very simple, of course deeply tasty.

A great experience! Fantastic food and really imaginative cocktails. All very nicely presented, and topped off with friendly and efficient service.

I was suprised with the most special birthday dinner here. The staff and the owners were incredibly friendly and truly cared to make this experience unforgettable! And the food… I am still dreaming about it ♥️

If you like Michelin award restaurants, definitely try this one. Creative menus, beautifully presented, knowledgeable service team, incredibly delicious and good portions. Wine and drink list exceptional. Has a bar, lounge area inside and outside as well. Expensive but worth it

Subject: Serious Concern Regarding Recent Dining Experience Dear im Ackermannshof Team, I’m writing to express my deep disappointment with a recent dinner at your restaurant, which sadly caused me significant physical discomfort and has shaken my trust in a place I once considered a favorite. When I arrived, your waitress kindly assured me that my dietary requirements—lactose intolerant, vegetarian, and no alcohol—would be fully accommodated across the 4-course menu. I appreciated this, as I always communicate these clearly due to the severe discomfort I experience if they are not followed. Unfortunately, the dishes served to me included buffalo mozzarella, fried feta cheese, and undercooked eggs, all of which I would not have expected based on my restrictions. I ate them, trusting that my needs had been taken into account, but not long afterward, I began experiencing severe bloating and pain, to the point I could barely sit still. I spoke with the waitress during the meal, but was told the chef was too busy to address the issue. I ended up paying 400 CHF (with tip) for a dinner that made me sick. This experience was not only disappointing but physically distressing. At the very least, I would have expected your team to take responsibility immediately and offer an appropriate response. I urge you to take dietary restrictions more seriously moving forward, and I would appreciate hearing how you plan to address this.

Lovely service, cuisine, ambience and wine proposals. Ackermannshof has been tastefully fitted without losing its original charm. The team is clearly pushing hard to get the star they rightly held in Bubendorf - won't surprise me if it is sooner rather than later!

Creative, delicious and beautifully presented menu. Great way to celebrate a special occasion 🎉

It was during Africa Basel. The barman kindly looked for his phone charger to borrow it to me, and charged my phone behind de bar. Good location for Africa Basel Premiere.

We were welcomed by the team at Ackermannshof with a level of hospitality that makes dining out truly a worth while experience. The food is visually enticing, and the curation of flavors are exceptionally delightful. The wine selections, and spirits are well researched and justly compliments the quality of the cuisine. From the chef's recommendations, to the server's elegant and knowledgeable level of service - we were more than impressed and immediately trusted that they understood our needs. I sincerely look forward to dining here again, and discover the menu in greater depths with the restaurant's well curated design furniture and ambience. Kudos to the team for your on-going passion and contribution to the industry.

Went here to celebrate a special birthday and had a wonderful night. This is exactly the type of high-end restaurant which was missing in Basel. The new location is lively, stylish and suits the service and food & beverage offered. Very cool & knowledgeable service team and heartfelt interactions from the chef and kitchen team. No fuss about dress code / come as you are (creates a diverse more interesting crowd than at other ** restaurants) We requested a mix of alcoholic and non alcoholic pairings - absolutely fantastic! Food Highlights: Fish dishes, Veggie dishes and out of this world patisserie / desserts! Wishing Roots continued success at their new location…!

A magnificent restaurant for a high-end, discreet, and culinary experience in a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere. With carefully crafted menus and recipes created using fresh, local products, it deserves to be a two-star Michelin restaurant, and many thanks to the friendly and warm welcoming team.

The king of veggies truly deserves his reputation! The cuisine proposed by Pascal Steffen is absolutely mind blowing (especially considering the size of his team). A pure fireworks of tastes and textures, and a solid contender to the title of the best place to dine in Basel. We particularly appreciated the cuisine (give me more of those veggies 🤩🤩🤩) and the nicely relaxed atmosphere. Service was great and relaxed too, creating a cozy atmosphere. We loved our evening and dinner and are truly looking forward to the next occasion. A massive thank you to the whole Roots team! 🙏

Food portions were perfect so that when we left we didn’t feel saturated or saturated towards desserts! Rather it was satiating and the wine pairing was perfect, the stand out wine pairing was Cypriot wine Kουμανδαρια with cheese dish ! They accommodate vegetarian requests Overall memorable experience Service 4/5 Rest 5/5

2nd review here. Just wanted to also point out how well the sandwiches travel if the take out option is used for the Philly cheese sandwiches and a vegetarian egg sandwich. From the restaurant in Gebenstorf, we drove to the Badi in Brugg, it's a good 15 minute journey and they were perfect! See photos

The food was delicious and very light. The staff were very accommodating with all our dietary requests. We are looking forward for our next dinner.

I went to roots to celebrate my birthday. From the moment we walked we felt special. The personnel was amazing, very kind and attentive and everyone, chef included, gave me birthday wishes. For the menu we chose the 8 plates menu and I think it was perfect from quantity and quality (2 entree, 2 first, 2 mains and 2 desserts). The food was simply spectacular, few ingredients but so nicely assembled and thought of. Beautiful plates and super tasty and genuine food. We loved that they use regional and seasonal product whenever they can. The restaurant is quite minimal decorated but once it is full (which it was) it was a very cozy ambient. We will definitely return to try out more plates!

Maybe Basel's best Cordon Bleu!

Amazing traditional Swiss/German food with strong focus on very high quality meat. Everything is or can be made gluten free. The garden outside has a very nice quiet atmosphere. Highly recommended.

My 10 years old nephew asked for raviolis that were normally a side dish. They said it was ok, and I appreciated that. They charged it CHF 34.- !! Otherwise food was excellent, just order what's on the menu or recommended. Traditional cuisine.

The price vs quality is great. The crew serving the food is was also very friendly and kind. It will definitely will become my choice of enjoying lunches. Much appreciated.

TOURISTS BE CAREFUL. Went here with parents. At end of meal, waiter asked where we were from (America) and proceeded to ask us “how much will you tip?” while he did this with none of the other tables. Switzerland and Europe tip is already included. Only asked us this trying to take advantage. Food, service, and ambience was amazing. Recommend, just be careful.

Really good service. The food was even better. By Basel standards, we thought this restaurant was a good bargain (remember we thought the food was very good :) ). Highly recommend the apps (soup, salad, bone marrow), the cordon bleu was delicious, and the lamb was impressive too! We will definitely be back.

Amazing and delicious food! Very nice restaurant especially the outside area.

Gatto Nero is a true gem! Matthias crafts each dish with passion and precision, while Lisa’s warmth makes every visit special. A perfect blend of talent, humility, and heart—an unforgettable dining experience! Mille Grazie, Vlad

Really fabulous restaurant with a small but very well considered menu. Service was excellent and the food was awesome and very authentic.

Fantastic food and service. Matthias is passionate about what he does and it shows!

Great small restaurant with outstanding service. Menu seems to change every now and then, so don't even need to bother with too many options, they are all great.

Cozy & delicious Italian restaurant. Intense flavors and excellent service

Nice, small cosy space. Food was ok, solid choice of wine.

Best Italian restaurant in Basel

Toxic, biased, and completely unprofessional security – avoid this hotel if you care about fairness and safety I had one of the worst experiences I've ever had at a luxury hotel — all because of the incompetent and biased security staff at Hotel Les Trois Rois. During my visit, I witnessed and experienced blatant gender discrimination. A male guest made a completely unverified comment, and without hesitation, security sided with him — no questions asked, no effort to understand the full context, no interest in hearing both sides. They immediately took action against me, simply because I’m a woman. Their behavior was aggressive, condescending, and rooted in outdated attitudes that have no place in any professional setting, let alone a five-star hotel. The way they handled the situation was not just careless — it was dangerous. Their actions sent a clear message: women are not respected here. The security staff do not behave like trained professionals. They act with prejudice, arrogance, and a disturbing lack of accountability. They treated me with suspicion instead of respect, and it was clear they had already made up their minds before speaking a single word to me. This is not just a service failure — it is a serious reflection of a toxic culture that starts with poor hiring, lack of training, and a complete disregard for guest safety, especially for women. If you're expecting world-class service, safety, and fair treatment, stay far away from this hotel. Until the management overhauls its security practices and addresses the bias in its staff, Hotel Les Trois Rois is not a safe place — it’s a risk.

Grand Hotel Les Trois Rois – Basel, Switzerland Staying at Les Trois Rois was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment I arrived, the service was seamless, warm, and attentive, setting the tone for a stay that felt both luxurious and personal. ✨ Accommodations: Spacious, elegant rooms that combine old-world charm with modern comfort. The bathtub alone was an experience — the perfect place to unwind after exploring Basel. ✨ Service: Every interaction felt thoughtful and genuine, from the front desk to the housekeeping team. The attention to detail is what makes this hotel stand out among Europe’s finest. ✨ Atmosphere: There’s a timeless grandeur here, but it never feels overwhelming. Instead, you feel like part of the story, walking in the footsteps of history while enjoying every modern luxury. If you’re looking for a hotel that embodies heritage, refinement, and true hospitality, Les Trois Rois is the pinnacle. A stay I will never forget — and one I can’t wait to repeat. - Michelle

A beautiful stay at Les Trois Rois. The staff were warm and welcoming, offering refined Swiss hospitality throughout. The rooms are design-forward yet warm, so detailed and well curated that every element feels intentional. A place where tradition meets thoughtful modernity.

Luxurious, warm and welcoming iconic hotel in the best area of Basel. We enjoyed a lot our recent stay in this beautiful hotel. It has 3 magnificent restaurants and a lovely bar. Be ready to make your reservation to the Cheval Blanc restaurant with a lot of anticipation

Worst security experience I’ve ever had – disgraceful treatment of women The security team at Hotel Les Trois Rois is not just unprofessional – they are outright disrespectful and biased. I had a deeply unpleasant encounter where a male guest made a false or minor accusation, and without any effort to verify facts or speak to me directly, security immediately acted against me. They treated me, a female visitor and professional, with no respect or courtesy, showing a shocking lack of basic investigative protocol, empathy, or neutrality. Their first and only instinct was to take the man’s word as truth, without question. This wasn’t a misunderstanding – it was a clear pattern of discrimination. The security staff acted with an aggressive, arrogant, and authoritarian attitude that has no place in any hotel, let alone one with five stars and a reputation for luxury. To be blunt: the security staff here behave like they’re guarding a nightclub, not a historic luxury hotel. They’re poorly trained, deeply biased, and damaging the hotel’s reputation. If you are a woman, a solo traveler, or anyone who expects to be treated with fairness and dignity, do not stay here. The security behavior was offensive, outdated, and dangerous. This hotel clearly prioritizes the comfort of men over the safety and dignity of women. I urge management to take serious action, because the current state of their security team is nothing short of shameful.

Grand Hotel Les Trois Rois — Where Civilization Still Dares to Dream, somewhere between Basel and the edges of myth There are hotels, and then there are living myths — and Les Trois Rois is the latter. A monument to human decency, a sanctuary for those who still believe that class, kindness, and romance belong together in the same trembling sentence. You arrive, like a weary pilgrim at the gates of civilization, and the staff receives you not with corporate smiles but with genuine warmth — the kind that could thaw the Swiss winter and make even a cynic believe again in the possibility of grace. From the first moment you step inside, you know you’re walking through the pages of some grand European story. The chandeliers hum. The leather whispers. The service it’s not subservience; it’s art. Everyone here seems to understand an unspoken covenant: that romance isn’t dead, that beauty still matters, that the world can be civil if only for the span of one perfect evening. And then there’s the patio, that blessed stage overlooking the Rhine. It’s not just a view — it’s a meditation, a Jungian dream made real. The river rolls on like the collective unconscious, deep and ancient, reflecting gold light off its dark surface while couples lean close over glasses of wine, rediscovering their purpose in the myth of each other. You can almost hear Carl Jung himself sighing somewhere upriver, murmuring about archetypes and rebirth as the night drifts in like smoke. Then the beef tartare arrives — a dish so precise, so deliriously good, it could rouse the gods from Olympus for one more dinner on earth. It’s not merely raw meat — it’s a declaration of faith in craftsmanship, in sensuality, in the power of a single bite to silence the noise of modern existence. Pair it with a glass of Saint-Émilion and watch your pulse slow to match the rhythm of the Rhine. Les Trois Rois is a hotel birthing civility, a place that believes in the romance of being alive. The kind of establishment that makes you remember why people once dressed for dinner, why letters were written by hand, and why love — that fragile, impossible thing — is still worth chasing through the centuries. Proof that in this mad, mechanized age, elegance still has a pulse and it beats here on the banks of the Rhine.

Try the Les Trois Rois Seijaku shiatsu room in Basel. A Japanese style wellness room where you can get Zen Shiatsu sessions to relax and recover. Ask for Toya. Amazing!

Everything about this hotel is amazing. The rooms are wonderful, very cozy and comfortable beds. The service is very friendly and quick to help if you need anything. The breakfast and rooftop bar are also really good. The location is super central and you can reach anything pretty easily and quickly. It's a 5 minute walk from the train station, there is many restaurants, shops and public transport close by. BUT the street is in fact incredibly noisy: it didn't matter if it was a weekday or on the weekends, the noise was terrible even after 2 or 3am. If you close the windows it's a bit better, but you definitely still hear it. The hotel provides ear plugs, but I find it very uncomfortable to sleep with these. Anyone considering to stay here should be aware of the location and noise level until early morning hours. Other than that: nicest hotel I've ever been to!

The Art House Hotel is a very nice place in the heart of Basel, perfect if you want to stay in the livelier part of the city. The rooms are spacious, well-equipped, and the beds are very comfortable. Towards the weekend it can get a bit noisy, but that’s the trade-off for the central location. Breakfast on the sixth floor is excellent, with a wide selection, a warm welcome from the staff, and lovely views over Basel.

Sometimes a hotel exceeds the expectations from all perspectives .. Art House did it for me! Everything was spot on for me, the room had everything, spacious, comfortable bed, large bathroom + walk in shower, fine amenities, high quality in room coffee and tea, a Marshall Bluetooth sound system, a big balcony, a filled ( free of charge minibar !! ) and a pair of very comfortable chairs. The building has a very calm atmosphere with nice photographic art on every floor. The hotel is located in a lively street with many restaurants so no need to go far for dinner. Breakfast is served in the rooftop bar and is of high quality, with lots of fresh ingredients. Seriously, I travel a lot for business and stay in many hotels, Art House truly exceeds the expectations.

Nice hotel in the city center close to many historical locations. The rooms are spacious and mine was really relaxing. Very comfortable bed and well equipment for working. Breakfast has a limited selection but it is well shorted and they source products from local producers. Nice touch!!!

We’ve just spent our first night at the hotel, here for the Women’s Euro final. I have one main thought—or rather a vision of how this place might have been created: The people behind it must have sat down with a piece of paper and listed everything that pissed them off during business or personal trips in hotels. And then? They built this place exactly the way they’d want a 4-star hotel stay to feel—if not even better. A wonderful place, great service, and beautiful design. I’m truly impressed!

Highly rate my stay at AH Basel. Stayed 4 nights in a modest room in Oct. Very friendly staff. Clean rooms and bedding. Great style with the wood surfaces and flooring. I was worried about the sound from the bars below at street level but the window (which slides open) is heavy and seems to have sound proofing. Great location with the Rathaus only a few minutes walk and also close to SBB train station. Breakfast was nice, and I think decent value for what you pay compared to going to a cafe in the street (Switzerland is always expensive for an Aussie). Perhaps my only concern would be if I was sharing this room with a partner - the toilet situation is not so private as they using sliding Japanese screens for the bathroom. But the shower and accessories are all tops. Oh and I loved the late check out time. Danke!

Exceeded expectations. We booked through booking.com and weren't too sure what to exact. Fantastic hotel, the room was lovely and the staff super friendly. Would definitely book again. Location was right on a bustling street with bars and restaurants. This could be a con, depending how light of a sleeper you are.

I had a wonderful stay here! The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, going above and beyond — they even offered to prepare gluten-free bread for me next time after learning about my allergy. The free breakfast was delicious with plenty of variety. The bed was comfortable, and I appreciated having a privacy covering and a phone charger right by the bed. The bathroom was clean and well maintained. Highly recommend!

The hostel is so peculiar - nice atmosphere, nice people, nice staff: loved it! It has wide spaces and it is a peaceful and silent place. Also, the staff was so nice with me. If I'll ever come back to Basel, this hostel would be my choice! About the breakfast, there aren't many options, but I reckon it's common in Swiss hostels having a restricted selection of food at breakfast for sustainability reasons and I appreciate it.

Unsafe for Solo Female Travelers! I stayed at this hostel for 14 days while completing coursework in Basel, and I regret choosing it. What should have been a straightforward, secure stay turned into a series of mismanaged situations that left me feeling unsafe and disrespected. I specifically booked a female-only room, yet midway through my stay, I was moved to a room with only men due to a guest’s misbehavior. When I requested to be moved back to a women-only room, I was told my spot had been given away, and my concerns were repeatedly dismissed. The staff was unhelpful and indifferent to my discomfort. One staff member’s attitude was particularly troubling. She giggled when I asked about my reassignment to a male-only room, and her behavior seemed personal—possibly stemming from her own negative experiences in Barcelona (my hometown). It felt like a form of overcompensation for her past. When I escalated the issue to management, I was told they "didn’t know" it was a problem because they "don’t speak English or Spanish"—a clear lie, as they speak both fluently. Instead, I was told they had more important matters to focus on, like organizing events for pharmacists. Take into consideration that they work until 5 PM, and there's nobody at the desk to manage any issues at night. You’re on your own. At times, it felt like I would be safer outside the building. The hostel's facilities were equally subpar. Common areas were often off-limits to guests. One lounge had an awful smell due to poor ventilation, and there was no access to clean drinking water except for the bathroom tap. Privacy was non-existent, and rooms lacked even basic amenities like power outlets near the bed. If you are a solo female traveler, or a guest from Spain or Japan (like myself), I strongly advise you to avoid this hostel. The lack of professionalism and blatant disregard for guest safety make it a risky and deeply unsatisfactory place to stay.

Definitely as unique of an experience as the architectural and design looks of the place itself. Made me feel right at home but with additional assistance from the staff and always accompanied by a smile and kindness. Very clean facilities, awesome free breakfast and city pass whereby public transportation is free and most museum tickets can be bought half-price. Made my stay in Basel all the more enjoyable! Whenever in Basel, i’ll be around here for sure! Keep it ip guys😎

Nice interesting place. A bit outside the path, but Basel is so small and public transportation so good you won’t feel it. Great team and bonus point for a great breakfast buffet. Expansiv coffee but hey it’s Switzerland. I love the industrial vibe!

Very kind staff. Amazing breakfast and cool cafe. The only thing that I wasn’t aware of what kind of got me - all rooms face a very busy street. You can’t open the windows and can baraly hear it. But it is a bit a shame. The room was ok, clean but a but sterile. Otherwise I was super happy with my stay, close to Bad Bahnhof trainstation and the river/nature.

This is really good hostel, the cleanliness is top notch, the staff is willing to help extra mile, inhave to check out early morning, they offered me breakfast earlier to keepnin the fridge for next day early morning, near from Basel SBB, you get the free city travel card for Basel in the hotel. There is an Indian restaurant called Anjjapar few mins walking from the hostel, they have fantastic food there, you can walk to the center around 20mins from the hotel, tab water is drinkable in the hostel.

The very best gnocchi Gorgonzola on the planet. I know. Make a reservation and sit upstairs at the window. Drink Unplugged Chardonnay and your taste buds will be happy for awhile. A dining adventure. Laid back, friendly, happy staff. Yes, the kind of place you want to frequent. Too bad I don't live in Basel. Next visit 1st stop on my list.

Friendly, cheerful, authentic. Good food at reasonable prices. My favourite place to meet up and feel at ease in Basel; although I confess I have stopped going anywhere else. As you step inside, it feels like local pubs did 50 years ago - in the best way! EDIT: Just been back. As good as ever. Lovely.

Charming with excellent service and great food. I would suggest the Unplugged Chardonnay. It will be my first stop when I return to Basel. The upstairs room was very quiet while downstairs was a bit raucous. Both are good. Your choice.

Great bar and restaurant for all occasions. Staff service is exceptional, and the food is delectable. Full bar with variety of beer and wine, also serves long drinks, tea, and more. Crowd ranges from young hipster type to older couples, friends, and travelers. Recommend for anyone passing through Basel.

My favorite Bar/Pub. The selfmade Pasta is great and they have all the classic drinks and local beers. It is not too fancy so you can just relax and hang out. Service is friendly and enthusiastic. Interior is comfy and artsy...

Lovely Italian restaurant in the middle of Basel, the gnocchi Gorgonzola was some of the freshest gnocchi I've ever had, and the antipasti were also delicious. Service is quite good, there is an upstairs dining room. French, German and English spoken.

Really nice dishes, maybe a bit expensive, but quality is good. They changed their menu a few months ago and it's not the same anymore, they replaced the good dishes with a lot of vegetarian and vegan alternatives. Now they only have 1 ravioli and 1 pasta dish non vegetarian, sorry but sometimes I need proteins

Nice to have this Basel institution in a new location. Always a pleasure and always delicious, warm and friendly with a scrumptious taste of Italy to boot. Good humour and a nice chat as well as a warm greeting set things up nicely for a convivial evening. When you leave it certainly was a "bona note."

The service here is top class. We literally felt like dining at home. However, I have been to Italy and tasted quite a lot of Italian cuisine, so I wouldn't call the food at this restaurant "Italian". The food here is a bit too salty or sour.

New location with the same good vibe. The food nd the atmosphere are excellent.

I had several times a pizza to take away and I haven’t been disappointed. Really good pizza. I have also had a week day lunch which was very good , very fresh. It difficult to know whether I give it a 4 or 5 rating. But I definitely will go back . The restaurant is very nice inside and clean , you can see the kitchen area and the boss is very friendly . Am going again quite soon and so maybe I will improve the rating

New location - same quality or better ❤️

Thank you very much for your authentic Italian hospitality! Great food and very welcoming and highly professional staff. Grazie molto, e a la prossima.

Just food and vibes like Italy 👏👍👌❤😊

Good (but inadequate) main but very poor starter. Perfect for customers who have not very high standards and want to pay a lot for very little food. Starter - 2/5. Salmon had way too much soya sauce; Chinese cabbage was served crunchy - very poor choice of cooking and wholly inappropriate for the salmon which is better paired with sautéed not raw cabbage Main - 4/5. A lot better, but at most 100g of meat, basically the size of a main on a degustation menu, not 3 course meal Dessert - 4/5. The size of sorbet which is a regular size scoop is significantly larger than the tiny sliver of tart, about 2.5cm on the wide end

The visit to 'Zum Wilde Maa' left us with a pleasant experience. The 4-course menu was very well balanced, with a vegetarian option available. All the courses were excellent. The highlights were the mushroom risotto and the tongue from Appenzeller lamb. The dessert wein Koehler-Ruprecht Riesling Auslese 2015 was a delightful new discovery for us. The main point of the restaurant was its atmosphere and highly experienced yet friendly service team.

Walking distance from the Messe, in a quiet street Lovely restaurant Quiet for lunch ..book for dinner !! Perfectly cooked Salmon…and interesting recipe Big effort on wines by the glass !! Highly recommended Add charming and helpful staff

Never disappoint at restaurant Zum Wilde Maa, Basel, Switzerland. We had ensemble of six course dinner with phenomenal wine paring. Assortment of delicious Swiss Salmon Ceviche to slow-cooked Beef Shoulder and seared Pikeperch were part of our gastronomical menu.

Would I come again, unfortunately not. However the food was fantastic. I had the menu with 4 courses, Salmon, Walleye, Veal and cheese. The fish was cooked perfectly the skin of the salmon crunchy with hints of salt and innside still very "pink". Same for the walley. The veal was cooked too much for my liking and was not very tender. The cheese plate was also great complemented by a sweet wine which was by itself mouthwatering. Now unfortunately the only downside I experienced. As we wanted to pay, we asked for separate checks, however she said that wouldn't be possible, we should have mentioned this before we ordered. I said that no one asked us if we wanted separate checks. The discussion went on and the lädt thing she said it was not typical for Switzerland to ask for separate cheques. Sounded pretty arrogant to me which left a little bitter taste for the great food. Oh and one more thing, the chairs are super uncomfortable.

Fabulous bistro off the beaten track in Basel. Food was delicious,and wine pairing was excellent. We liked the presentation and the flavours of the 4 course meal which we recommend as we were very satisfied after those courses (we could not have managed 6 courses). They were short staffed on the night we went and we felt compassion for the wait staff who did not stop all night. The food was of good quality and locally sourced, but the magic of flavour infusions was good but not yet perfect for all courses. The courses that they got right were excellent (loved the cervice) Seemed to have quite a few locals dining here too. Overall very pleasant.

The food, wine, ambiance - all excellent. Servers and host very polite, accommodating and informative. We reserved for 6:30pm and 4/5 of us had the 4 course chef's menu - at 9pm we were 2 courses through the menu and my mother (who ordered three courses) had only eaten bread and soup. The wait between courses ~40-50 min, wine for the the course served 20 min before it arrived. We later noticed that most diners did not have food on their tables and the one next to us received a dish they didn't order. When our main course finally arrived, other diners who had entered the restaurant an hour after us received the same course. It seems like there may have been some communication and timing issues (aside from the extremely slow pace, we were offered water twice before it arrived; silverware placed and removed 30 min before food, my mother started to receive wine pairing without having ordered it). Again fantastic food - but for the wait and ultimately the price I cannot say we fully enjoyed. I only wonder now if it was an exception.

We came back 2x for this lunch. Really enjoyed the food selection and flavors. It’s pay per weight so the hungrier you are the more you pay.

Tibits restaurants are our all time favorite all over Switzerland. It was our first night in Basel and we came here walking (thanks to google) for dinner. Though there was outdoor seating but due to cold weather everyone was indoor. We started with white wine and whiskey with Nachos. I don't know why they don't serve scotch whiskey ? The buffet spread of veg and vegan dishes was great. There were many Indian dishes. The concept of paying as per weight is good. The food was delicious. The staff was very helpful. The washroom was upstairs. While coming down, one of the staff found me struggling. He took me behind kitchen and brought me down by service elevator. Thanks a lot. The ambiance was great, totally family oriented. Don't miss it when in Switzerland...

While visiting Basel, I ate here twice in two days. I loved the inventive vegan selection and all the different choices of area to sit in. Some real thought has gone into this place (for example, types of food, no smoking outside, coat hooks, bag hooks, plug points), which is rarely seen. If I lived here nearby, I would eat here VERY OFTEN. Great service, too.

I have paid 20CHF for my salad - it was delicious and fresh - would come here again :) it's a self-service restaurant- you take your plate, serve yourself a food and then pay for the weight ( they don't explain details on how they weigh it, though i didn't ask )

Loved it here! I don’t eat much and able to get a perfect lunch, just my size and plant based!!

We are on a trip from America, this was a very welcoming place and delicious food. Very helpful to us!! Thank you!

The best lunch I’ve had in Europe! Lots of natural light, spacious seating, elegant and modern cafe atmosphere with restaurant-level food choices, friendly services and affordable price(by weight). Highly recommended to anyone seeking for a place to study, work, have a gathering, or date!

Cozy family owned restaurant, with great service and incredible food. Definitely do try the balanced Sunday 4 course menu with homemade soup, the freshest salad you’ve tasted, a broad choice of main dishes (we took the veal filet with morel sauce and the legendary cordon bleu) and homemade desserts. The incredibly skilled chef came to our table after the service for a chat and shared from his broad experience

Had been intending to visit for a while and we weren't disappointed. However, we got lucky by booking the "just after the lunch rush" slot (14:00). I think there will be times in the year where booking well in advance is a must. Mostly we went with the set menu but a few in the group went for steaks. Either way it was all top quality, but I do think you're missing a trick if you don't go for the menu (soup/salad/main/dessert). All the course were very good but, personally, the dessert really moves things to a level where the chef is doing something exceptional and giving it a personal twist. I had the Gugelhopfglace with spirit (somebody else was driving!) Yes, save some space for the last course.

Lovely quaint restaurant, with fantastic service and some of the tastiest food from the region that Basel has to offer (and the bar is high). Make sure you pay it a visit - especially in autumn, their venison is an absolute treat!

A very warming, filling and tasty meal from the 'wild' menu, with many varied components that felt like I was being given a traditional taste of the northern alps. Perfect for a rainy autumn day before heading to the airport. Service was very quick and while the place was large it felt cozy. Unassuming allotment-filled neighborhood away from the bustle of the riverside - yet accessible by bus with ease.

Fantastic little restaurant, food and the service is top notch! We ordered a Cordon bleu and veal in a creamy mushroom sauce with rösti. Absolutely gorgeous!

Wonderful place, highly recommended! My plate of veal liver with Rötsi (a typical Swiss dish) was truly delicious! There was an option to have the liver cooked in either red wine or in butter and the chef - Marcus - made a small portion of the latter as well for me to try. I liked it even more🙂 Really nice of him, he even stopped by to ask whether I had enjoyed my meal. As a cherry on top of a cake, this place is very cozy, clean, and the waiters are extremely friendly. I hope I’ll come back soon for a full portion of the butter liver😀 Thank you guys, keep up great work! I would even give you six stars but there are only five available 🙂

Despite the drizzling winter weather in Basel, the delicious food and the warm-hearted employees in Bohrerhof restaurant simply make it a thousand times better. The gravy is smooth and buttery and matches perfectly with the home-made Rösti. Lovely restaurant that is loved by the local and tourists :) Reachable from the center via tram 6 - highly recommended!

Disappointing experience from start to finish. The staff was inattentive, barely acknowledging me upon arrival. When I asked if the waitress spoke English, she simply passed me off to another waiter without explanation, making the whole interaction feel awkward and unwelcoming. The food didn’t make up for the poor service either. The Tom Yum soup was overpriced and tasted completely off—nowhere near the authentic flavors I was expecting CHF23 for some vegetables and vinegary water. Overall, an uncomfortable and underwhelming dining experience.

A taste of Asian dishes prepared authentically (as close as possible) by the team is a good break from cheese and bread! The space is good, all wooden furniture with minimal work but quite spacious. I tried the vegetarian Thai curry with rice, a good Nepali drink and finished with an ice cream. The Thai curry was served hot and tasted super delicious. On the table you would find chilli pickles, flakes and sauce for that asian touch and the craving. Ice cream was okay!

Tried the papaya salad 'Somtam'. It was far too sweet for me and you couldn't taste the garlic (spiciness) and acidity (lime). Friendly staff tried to help and asked the chef to try again...unfortunately without success. 🫣 I was told that this variant is made because otherwise most people wouldn't like it. The consequences: Authentic Thai cuisine is out of the question. This is a pity because the Lilys used to stand for this in the past. Anyone who has been once to Thailand will open their eyes at the first bite...😅

I went to eat at Lily's restaurant with my friend in the evening. The food there was not delicious and had no flavor. I ordered Pad Kapao which was not delicious and was not cooked properly because it was no have Thai Basil and long Beans not spicy enough . As for my friend's food, he ordered Pad Thai which was also not delicious and cooked properly not correct too because it was no peanut and Pad Thai sauce. The service was not friendly very bad.

I would give Lily’s 10 stars if I could. Everything about this restaurant is amazing. I travel to Basel often for work, I’m not sure how I only just discovered this place. My colleagues and I dined here 4 nights in a row! The atmosphere is very laid back and inviting. The service was top notch; everyone was so kind and friendly. We got to know a number of servers, and they remembered our orders and came by to chat. The food was unbelievable. Every dish ordered was so full of flavor. The food came out fast, hot, and fresh. I will be returning whenever I am in Basel.

The food is great, the location is unbeatable, the staff are friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere is relaxed and uncomplicated. We wanted somewhere for a relaxed Friday night dinner and decided spontaneously for Lily's. The place seemed full but the waiter easily found us a space on one of the tables. Ordering was quick and easy and with all the guests busy chatting it had that vibrant buzz that you normally only find in big cities. Lily's is now an established eatery in Basel. We first came here 15+ years ago and it just seems to get better with time. In summer there are also the outdoor tables and the large glass doors opening out onto Claraplatz which just adds to the atmosphere.

The most overpriced and ungenerous restaurant ever - they just added all the random dishes from like 5 different countries (Thai, Indian, Korean, Japanese, Vietnamese…..) with the worst quality possible. I had a Tom Kha Gai and ordered a large one which is supposed to always be eaten with rice, but we had to add on rice separately. Super dry rice and overly salty soup. Spring rolls are vegetarian but they just added a bunch of noodles into it. Super odd and tasted like nothing. We ordered a Pho bowl and it was probably the only thing okay to eat. And the sakura drink was nothing different of just bare water. Not forget to mention, the staff was so rude. Disappointing!

Beautiful restaurant with a really nice ambiance in the heart of Basel. The wait staff were extra cordial and pleasantly engaged us. The food was good but could definitely use some improvements here and there. My salad was absolutely delicious- fresh and crisp with just the right amount of dressing. My pork tenderloins were very good and I loved the apricot "stuffing". The gravy was not nearly enough and my potatoes should have been cooked for 8 minutes longer. Portion sizes are on the small side. Overall, a nice visit.

The food was great but not very impressive. Definitely need to try their tapas-like starters and chicken on puff pastry. The bread that they serve at the beginning with the spread was very nice. Service was great and price of food was not bad (not expensive in Basel but very expensive when comparing it with the food in London, which is also expensive to some).

Staff is supper (pun intended) friendly, the food is great. We were there for dinner with colleagues, great service and the flammkuchen are especially nice. Not the ideal place for deep conversations as the trams are loud and very frequent, but overall it's highly recommended.

I really liked the Flammkuchen, the dessert was not as good as I thought, not bad, just not super flavourful. The tea variety from Sirocco is really nice

Good place to try rosti or flamenkuche. Food was tasty, and staff was friendly. The restaurant is really big, lots of seats available, so it can be a good option if you don't have a reservation.

It's unfortunate that a place where you can eat good food for fair prices (by Swiss standards) had such a mediocre staff. We waited for 15 minutes before we got asked what to drink and we waited more than 20 minutes just to pay our bill. The flamkuchen was really good, the cocktail we got (caiprinha) was not. The cocktail felt a bit rushed.

Stylish and smooth experience. Local food choices with a twist. Reservations are recommended unless you go early.

In the bustling walking streets of old town Basel there’s a dizzying array of dining options. We chose this for its traditional Swiss cuisine. We had the schnitzel with pork instead of veal with noodles and the perch with boiled potatoes. The side salad was extra. Add a beer and the total was easily over a 100 CHF. Our server was friendly with a gentleman’s sense of humor. This is a good place for outdoor dining and people watching. Food is good.

The food was lovely and delicious. Dinging a star for them not serving tap water. (Feels like an unnecessary money grab.) The venison was perfect for a chilly, rainy fall day. A very generous portion of everything, and beautiful plating.

Best schnitzel in town! 👏🏻👏🏻 cheese fondue is delicious too! Had a really great time with friends here, will be back if have another opportunity ❤️

We wanted to experience Swiss fondue. We were not disappointed. Had the original Wiener schnitzel and cheese fondue (ordered just for 2 people even as a party of 4 - it was plenty of food). The waiter picked the wine, Swiss of course, and it was awesome, as was the waiter!! Chocolates come with your check. They have bar seating (great for just stopping to have a drink) and offer outdoor dining.

Amazing food and excellent service. For dinner we had fondue, raclette and steak. Everything was delicious! Special thanks to Jelena, her great service made our night very special!

I was recommended to visit this restaurant for traditional Swiss cuisine by a few locals. My friend and I came here for lunch. The place is located in the heart of Basel, right on one of the main promenades, so it was quite busy that day, mostly with tourists. The restaurant has a big indoor area, plus outdoor seating. We decided to sit inside to enjoy its classic Swiss design and cozy vibe. You can sense the historic charm in the atmosphere, but everything inside was still well maintained and spotlessly clean. Our waiter was very nice and helpful – he gave us tips about Swiss food and recommended a couple of dishes from the menu. The menu,by the way, wasn’t very big, and it focused on traditional Swiss classics. We decided to share two dishes: Wienerschnitzel and Cheese Fondue (Käsefondue). The food came out quickly, within about 15 minutes. The pork schnitzel was flavorful and tender, with a perfectly enjoyable texture. We chose French fries as the side, and they were cooked really well. But the star of our lunch was definitely the Cheese Fondue – absolutely delicious! The cheese they used was incredibly rich and flavorful, and the fresh bread served with it was also tasty. Dipping the bread into the melted cheese made it a truly delightful experience. Both dishes were generous in size and more than enough for two people. The only negative about this restaurant is the prices, which are extremely high. The Cheese Fondue cost 38 CHF (about $48) PER PERSON, and the Wienerschnitzel was 40 CHF (about $50). Even though the food was excellent, I found these prices far too steep. The soft drinks we ordered were also expensive – 6 CHF ($8) for a cup of black tea or a Diet Coke. I’m from Miami, where restaurants are pricey too, but not this expensive, so even I was shocked when we got the final bill. Finalizing my review, I can say that I loved every part of my experience at the restaurant except the prices. It’s definitely not a place I could afford to eat at every day (like I do in many restaurants in Miami, since I don’t cook), but I still recommend checking this restaurant at least once for the experience – to try truly delicious Swiss food. Trust me and order the Cheese Fondue for sure!

Fantastic restaurant focused on the cuisine from Valais. My Rösti with cheese and egg was perfect. I have to come back for the cheese fondue. Great selection of Swiss wines and very efficient and friendly service. The white asparagus on my second visit was perfect as well.

I've eaten three times over the past years and overall its a good experience - reliable and no surprises. This time we were a group of eight and sat outdoors - lots of seating area here and plenty of umbrellas to avoid the punishing June sun. Despite the large group our meals and drinks arrived quickly and no one seemed disappointed. I had the calabrese (sauce, cheese, spicy salami) and it was okay. A bit bland and I would have liked to try something a bit more interesting - but I could not read the Italian menu very effectively so went for what looked easy. Overall a nice meal and place to enjoy a drink. As mentioned it was the third time visiting and had no qualms about returning.

Pretty good pizza, not the best I’ve tried and a bit pricey but better than other options. The tuna was a bit fishy and could have been better, the Napoli pizza with sardines was very good. I loved the taste of the mozzarella. They are very fast and the staff is very friendly, they speak English. A pity they run out of tiramisu at 8.30pm on a Friday night and we could not try it

I am Italian from the South and this place makes real Neapolitan pizza.. the price is not cheap (and being in Switzerland is perhaps ok) but you get what you pay for. The portions are quite big as well. I rated the service as 4 out of 5 just because we had to wait a bit for the waiters to come but I also have to say that the place was quite busy.

Pizza was Absolutely delicious ,real napolitan pizza!excellent tomato sauce and mozzarella,very tasty. Highly recommended 👌

I ate at this Italian restaurant and found the pizzas excellent. The prices are a bit high in my opinion, but the quality of the food and the attentive service more than make up for it. I would recommend it to anyone looking to enjoy a great meal!

Delicious gluten free pizza. The waiter was very friendly. Overall great vibes

I recently visited this Italian restaurant in the heart of Basel, which specializes in pizza. While the prices are on the higher side, the food quality is truly outstanding. The staff is friendly, but there's room for improvement in terms of their warmth and hospitality. The ambiance inside the restaurant is just fine, nothing too extraordinary, but it's a comfortable setting for a meal. A noteworthy point is that reservations are only available for groups of 10 or more, which could be limiting for smaller gatherings. However, as there aren't many tables available, it's understandable. Payments can be made through credit/debit cards, as well as cash. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible and has a baby changing room, which is a plus for families with young children. The washrooms are quite old and could use an update, but they're functional. Their speciality, fried pizzas, didn't impress me much, and I wouldn't recommend them. However, the rest of the menu offers high-quality, delicious Italian fare that's worth a try. Overall, this cozy Italian pizza gem in Basel is a good spot to enjoy a tasty meal, but there's room for some improvements in service and ambiance.

What a disappointment! We ordered a salad for a starter and a main course of fish. The salad was ok, nothing special. The fish came cold, and row I returned it to the kitchen. It came after a while and was still row in the middle. It is unfortunate to see the same fish served at the same table, which was different. The Basmati rice was half cooked. The taste of the fish and the rice was blant, no flavour at all. The service, was unprofessional. I did not expect this from this restaurant. I have been in this restaurant since we moved to Basel. Thank god they did not charge me for my fish.

A wonderful place with great service. The charming patio offers a bit of coolness on a hot day. Unfortunately, we were probably unlucky with the food – out of five people, four received heavily oversalted dishes (steaks and lamb), and the gazpacho had nothing to do with a proper gazpacho – watery, lacking blended bread, and with no noticeable garlic flavor.

Beautiful place and great food! One of the best restaurants in Basel-Stadt!

For my boyfriends birthday, we came here for a dinner yesterday. It was a wonderful surprise that they accomodated this special event with a special table secluded from the rest of the restaurant, ideal for a romantic dinner for 2. They even prepared a little gift and a note. We had the steak and lamb menu - both perfectly done to our taste. They have a huuuuge wine selection! and a very interesting palette of starters. Service was also perfectly executed.

The starter and the main dish were delicious! A lot of different flavors, a very nice combination. The meat was tender and melting in the mouth, and was accompanied with a delicious sauce and puree. The service is quick and competent. I am very pleased by that. Only negative thing, with all honestly, The dessert is awful. I didn't even finish it, I ate only one bite and it was enough. It is such a shame as it is the last part of the meal. Nevertheless, I would recommend this restaurant for its various starters and dishes, but not for the dessert.

Exceptional restaurant. I tried the steak. It was tender and flavourful cooked to perfection, with a very good Chianti. The waitress was extremely friendly and very professional. The setting is excellent for romantic dinner or professional gatherings. Apparently you can buy paintings on site.

Nice place. Presentation of dishes is excellent. The quality is quite good, but the steak was a bit small and not flavored well. Service decent but not amazing.

Dined here two days in a row due to the wonderful quality of the food and the very warm and welcoming service. Both times, the food was of a very high standard and super tasty. The interior of the building is stunning and very inviting. Highly recommend!

Unfortunately it was covered in plastic and scaffolding. The food was OK. Although see other reviews not as good as other places I dined at. The food which came off the menu beforethe starter and afterthe dessert-the petit fours were delicious. The Venison chipolata | Caponata | Scamorza cheese | Bacon-Thyme foam soup was good. Duo of wild duck | Autumn polenta | Cowberries | Brussels sprouts | Chestnuts would have been good apart from the Chestnuts were too like marron glace too sweet if they had done just roasted Chestnuts it would have worked. They served wine from giant bottles which were too gimmickry for me. So if they didn't peer pressure you when you first came in to have a glass of red wine from the massive bottle I would have enjoyed it more.

The food is incredible! Slowly served in the European fashion. There was NOT one bad bite and worse, my wife wouldn’t let me lick the plate. Services is European (letting you enjoy your food without bothering), but quick to help if you have questions. Top notch. From a dumb American, try it. You will not be disappointed! Wish I could give 10 stars

Very nice good place had a relaxing time.

Food was just ok. They sat us at a small table at the top edge of the stairs. Nothing like a chance of death to liven up dinner. Forgot us because we were the only people upstairs. Forgot to bring my husband his beer. Overall just MEH…

Great quality food! We ordered their set menu and they came with different degrees of flavor and strength. They have menu for vegetarians or pescetarians as well! I went there three times on special occasions especially with friends and families when they have their birthdays. The staff were very friendly and made sure to chat with us. Great Swiss hospitality indeed! 😍 😍 😍

Wonderful dining experience in a historical setting, yet the restaurant didn't lose its touch on modernizing itself. From the manager to waiters/waitresses, everyone was courteous and kind. The main dishes here today are the white asparagus soup and beef fillet with potatoes. The meal ended with two pieces of sweets, which are not too sweet and on point!

Really nice cozy place in inner street. Food was okay, burger patty was cooked well, the bun was a bit too crispy, which was unexpected..

Not bad but could be better. Bun too hard/crispy and big compared to the meat patty which could be bigger. Also the bacon was too little. The burger lacked some flavour which could improve if the patty was thicker and it was cooked longer. The potato chips were good but for my taste they could be cut thinner for crunchiness. The service is friendly (they made a mistake with the order but I’m not considering this) and professional. The place and atmosphere is pretty cool, seems tricky to find as it’s in a hidden square. They also have outdoor sitting. The homemade ice tea did not have sugar and I appreciate that (not common practice). Overall I would not go back for a burger as the value for money is not justified for me, but open to other options or a drink

I arrived here by accidentaly while walking through the streets of Basel. 😎 They have good and fresh food, and the staff is so kind and friendly. 😊 Special thanks to Oliver and Aline for making the impossible possible for me! 🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼 I had a wonderful experience!🥳

Excellent burgers, great choice as you can “build“ your own burger. Very nice staff. Quick service. Cosy place. Outdoor seating. Centrally located. However charging 1chf per glass of tap water is a bit too much: charging once is OK, but we had a second round of tap water and were charged each 1chf again :( ...

I love the inner court. Take an apero outdoors and then eat indoors or whatever pleases you. Their specialty is something else, which is worth another post and it is quite trending. But in this post I want to speak about the marvelous burgers and options they have. Go there and try for yourselves. The 1777 burger is my favorite and if you are like me I eat the burger, I do not need the fries. They come as an optional side, so there is no way around it. Focus on the burger. The only modification that I do to it is that you ask for the bunny of the vegan burger, which is some kind of wholewheat bun. The place is on a first view interesting but a bit blunt, but the overall experience for most of the people I talked to like it extremely. It's kid friendly, it requires you to book ahead, as it is relatively small.

Lovely place with really friendly staff. Thanks for the exceptional service, we really appreciated. Super food, super service. Ps. I couldn't take pictures from the food because the service and the environment was so super I just forget to take any pictures really. 😊❤️

Amazing place! It has a perfect terrace that is super relaxing and away from the cars. You can even build your own burguer or sandwich from scratch by choosing the ingredients you desire ! Everything was delicious

We had very very bad experience. They told us well done Fillet means burnt fillet :)

First thing to note here: It's an expensive restaurant. Second thing to note: I don't think I've ever been so mad at the food while I'm eating it. It honestly feels like them disrespecting their own food. Starting from the good part because I'll rant for a quite bit later on. The service was the only thing that is carrying the score for me, which is quite sad to experience, I was guided to my table very nicely despite it being quite full. Coleslaw and french fries were alright but none of them fit to their price range. Now to the bad parts. Starting from the top, the buns were the lowest tier of buger buns i've ever had. very breakable. The patty was very hard to cut even with fork and knife. if you try to bite into it the whole burger just breaks apart as all the ingredients gets squeezed to the sides while the buns fall apart. You can clearly smell and see that the patty wasn't hand/home made, which is something I'd at least expect at a price range like this. The burger was actually worse than a 8$ fully industrialy processed burger i can buy from the street. None of the food outshined in any way and in total: burger+fries/coleslaw/a beer i paid over 54.- just to get disrespected by their food. I was there during dinner so you'd expect a lot people. But I didn't expect it to be louder than a McDonald's. It's as if they are trying to rush you away with this ambient so they can get more customers. I haven't tried their other meat variants yet but from what I saw the size is quite sad compared to the other restaurant i reviewed (Schindler Frohsinn) which is also meat focused, about the same price range. I don't plan on changing this rating nor do I plan on coming back again unless I'm forced to by family or friends, then I'll review again.

So sorry for the first review. The atmosphere and the service was great. I definitely enjoyed it ❤️

Good steakhouse, their meat is tender and tasty. Service really depends on who is in charge of your table and can vary a lot.

The steaks were cooked incorrectly, not as we ordered. the meat is tough. not tasty meat lovers to pass by. And we have a stomach pain!!!! And I edit this review for add this information!!! We have a stomach pain!!!

Thank you very much for your choice of the table it was very good for my son's wheel chair 👌👌and for your plates it was delicious 👍👍👍and for the service it was great 😃😃😃

Excellent steaks, done as desired. Minestrone soup was “der Hammer”, the best I had actually, even though it’s not an Italian restaurant. Big plus for a birthday surprise done for our son 🥰

I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant. The schnitzel tasted simply delicious. I also tried the apple ring dessert, and it was so good I finished it in seconds. Even the coffee stood out; it was so rich and flavorful, I felt like I’d been transported to Italy for a moment. The atmosphere is another highlight. I really appreciated the old rustic charm, which made for a peaceful and cozy Sunday lunch. It wasn’t crowded when I visited, but I’d recommend reserving a table just in case—larger groups do come here, and it might be harder to find a spot sometimes. The staff were friendly and welcoming. After my meal, I stayed at my table for a while to relax, and the waiters were kind enough not to rush me or make me feel like I had to leave. If I could suggest one improvement, it would be to add some sauerkraut, bratwurst, and knödel to the menu. I know it’s not part of the local cuisine, but it would’ve been a great addition and something I’d personally love to eat. Overall, I really enjoyed my visit and will definitely be coming back!

Went there for a family dinner. Dinner was nice. They also have 1 vegan option which was also pretty okay. I don’t understand why they don’t have a vegan cordonbleu made from fake meat but a vegetarian option is always better than non. But for this price I would have expected a bit more. The others had meat options which was apparently really delicious but once again to pay +30 chf WITHOUT a side is a more than expensive. Now to the drinks: we paid more fore 1l of still water than for a glass of wine which is just NOT understandable. I understand that this restaurant is rather pricey also considering the quality of the food. But to charge 10.50.- for still water is just Kriminal at this point. Ambiente was okay, very rustical and traditional kitchen. Experience was okay, wouldn’t go a second time tho. So if you want a very overpriced meal in the best cordonbleu- restaurant in Basel, go for it and tick it off you bucket list.

An excellent little restaurant with some very creative takes on Cordon Bleu! Great service, great food. It is pricey (like most restaurants in Switzerland!) and it's smoking friendly which might be an issue for non-smokers. At the end of the day, I did enjoy my visit.

Wonderful dinner in a lovely setting. We sat outside and enjoyed an enormous piece of vienerschnitzel. What a bonus to know they can accommodate gluten free clients with an authentic dish! Staff were great and very helpful.

Stopped in for a late lunch. Great place. Traditional atmosphere. My husband and I shared a classic Veal cordon blue, au gratin potatoes and a french onion soup. It was perfect. Single portion is plenty for two. My husband said it was the best French onion soup he has ever had (he does order it everywhere we go). Extensive wine list, they also have cocktails and beer on tap. Servers were prompt and so nice!

We had a lovely meal here. The food was good, many choices, the service was excellent and the atmosphere was very nice.

Nice place to eat. Quiet and great atmosphere Local regional food to choose from, beers and wine. Typical of pricing in this area

I love this place!! Special mention to the bone marrow. The service is amazing and make you feel at home. Will be back soon!

Excellent food, service and ambience. We had 6 course fixed menu on Saturday night. I loved the element of surprise as the menu was fixed and every course was a surprise. All the courses were delicious and well balanced in flavour. I particularly liked truffle pasta and veal steak course. The wine recommendation was also very nice. Service was very attentive and pleasant. The price is very attractive for such a large and various meal. We loved it! Highly recommended!

This restaurant is in a league of its own—from start to finish, it was a fantastic experience. I loved the suprise menu. The food, the team, and the ambience are very special. I loved the personal and friendly style of the service. It is not an easy combination to achieve, but they manage it flawlessly. My only problem with this restaurant is that it is too close to my flat. Well done to all involved.

I love the ambience and the service was amazing. The servers were Uber friendly. We didn’t speak German but they were extremely nice and patient with us and helped us translate the menu. The menu was straightforward and the food was lovely! If I lived in Basel, I would definitely come again!

What an incredible little restaurant. We went in a Friday so we had the surprise set menu, everything was great but the fish dish was in a league of its own. I love that there’s lots of space between the tables. The staff were all very accommodating and good fun, I had barely slept the night before but I left the restaurant feeling great. I recommend you try the surprise menu. It’s great value for money.

Good food. Good price-value-ratio. Nice service and atmosphere. Will come back.

We had a work event at Viertelkreis and rented it out just for us. Hence, we had a set vegetarian and non-vegetarian menu. Food: We started with a mushroom arachino accompanied with a savoury light mushroom sauce and fresh herbs. A wonderful surprisingly light start to our meal. It was followed by a filet of salmon perfectly cooked and surrounded by thinly sliced fennel bedded on a sweet potato mousse. As a main we were served a mouthwatering juicy lamb fillet and a stacked potato and beetroot ratatouille. This was followed by a variety of savoury cheeses and chocolate mousse as well as tiramisu in a small pot as dessert. We experienced a fresh, tasty and well balanced meal. Staff: Amazing and efficient. Lovely and attentive at all times. Tanja made me a lovely variation of a Lady Old Fashioned which I enjoyed at lot. The service was flexible and very accommodating. Overall: Good food, good wine, very nice staff, good location.

A charming spot just by the water with lovely and helpful staff. The selection of food is rather limited to basically one of each standard animal you would expect to find in a restaurant and one or two vegetarian options. I rather enjoyed all that was on offer but I could imagine a world where I want some beef that is not of the Stroganoff variety and end up being discontent. Today was certainly not that day so I enjoyed the meal and would certainly come back to try other things from their menu.

We were out 5, trying all appetizers (my favorite was the bone with the marrow), then beef, vegetarian and fish dishes. All were really good. Bottled wine can be as cheap as 54 francs, water filtered but comes at cost. Portions are small but filling. Many Spritz available, not just the usual Gespritzter Wein and Aperol. We were sitting on the terrace, great view. Bit noisy from the street, but not disturbing. Service was excellent, by a lovely young waitress.

Completely full but the friendly staff pointed me to a local bar and I returned later and was able to get a spot on the balcony for one. Lovely atmosphere on a glorious evening. Good wine as well.

Excellent meal from starter to desert. Staff was great.

It was a lovely experience. The food and staff was amazing. The prices are high but worth for what you get. Will definitely dine there again.

Great restaurant with great food. The waiters were amazing, friendly, smiling, and suggesting the right food. Cozy nice atmosphere inside the restaurant. Prices are matched with food quality. Must try is their homemade ice tea. Highly recommended.

It used to be one of my favorite places in town, but sadly not anymore. The menu is now very limited, and everything is hugely overpriced, even by Swiss standards. The food is okay, but nothing special. It tries to come across as fancy and sophisticated, but the quality is often mediocre (though one salad was very good). The only real upside left is the location—right on the riverbank—but it can get quite noisy. At these prices, you can find truly fancy places nearby that offer top-quality food and a much better overall experience. Unfortunately, I don’t think we’ll be coming back.

This served its purpose for a quick bite before heading out to a performance. It’s in the midst of old town and on a corner. We shared a salad and pizza. Both were ok. Know that when paying by credit card they don’t allow you to bypass leaving a tip.

Most Italian restaurants behave as if they are the best in town just because they are Italian. And that arrogance can extend to judging their customers taste too. But a simple basket of bread can humble their reputation and disappoint the customer. And that's exactly what happened. The moment the bread basket was laid on the table, I knew it will be an average experience at a not-so-average price.

We ordered the tagliatelle bolognese and lasagna and it was good, however the lasagna was cold especially in the middle. The bread was really good. The staff was very kind and we were welcomed with our baby.

Possibly the best pizza I've ever had! A surprise. Ordered the aubergine & veg pizza. It came with wide, succulent strips of fried aubergine on top, far different from the tiny cubes you get in restaurants & pubs in the UK.

I strongly recommend to have a lunch in DaRoberto. Today we ate one of the most delicious pizza here in Basel at 13:30. The restaurant is well located in the center of the city; perfect place to recharge the “battery“ and to visit the rest of the city.

When you find a restaurant that shares your name, you know you have to give it a try. However, I was disappointed I did. Da Roberto is in a great location in the city of Basel and the food was tasty, however, I don't think they served what I consider "Robert" sized portions. The Calzone I ordered was one of the smallest I've ever eaten in an Italian restaurant and it was very doughy for almost the first inch and a half (3.81cm*) inwards. Serving it on such a massive plate may have added to the effect, but I didn't feel full after eating either. My dear wife ordered the lasagne which I thought had some nice flavours, however it again was on the small side (maybe about 9 square inches / 58.06 sqcm). Thankfully, my dear wife dislikes bread so I ate all four complimentary bread rolls which were filling, though unremarkable. My dear wife though had to eat a bag of crisps for a snack an hour later to fill full. Yes, we could've ordered a second course of food, but have you seen the prices in Basel? Although Da Roberto is on paper reasonably priced, this seems to be at the expense of portion size in our experience. Lastly, the restaurant said they would not give us a jug of tap water (our go to drink) and we had to by a bottle of still water - despite the fact the table to our immediate right was served a jug of water. In conclusion: nice location, nice atmosphere but underwhelming overall and would most likely try somewhere else next time in Basel (once I've remortgaged to be able to afford to). Note: all dimensions provided are approximate - I left my tape measure in the hotel!

Good food at a fair price. Excellent service and location. Very nice atmosphere and room

I had fake snails!! because of good reviews & being the restaurant’s specialty but they were nothing special except an overpriced dish with 6 very small cubes of beef in a garlic butter sauce like Escargot’s + a big load of fries. Then I don’t recommend it personally. The chocolate fondue for dessert was tasty but again nothing special. The only advantage was the nice front-house staff to make the difference.

We warmly recommend this restaurant where the food is excellent. I had a risotto with vegetable and it was delicious. My husband went for the specialities of the chef and it was excellent !! The restaurant is located in a family and calm area, so you can have dinner with nice environment.

Perhaps the best restaurant we had dinner at during our whole 3 day stay in Switzerland. It is a family run restaurant and it felt like a place where locals go. The staff was super friendly and welcoming and the food tasted amazing. The only thing I regretted was not finding time to go here more than once :(

It's always nice to come back to this restaurant serving up traditional Swiss fare, especially during the summer season when you can sit outside. This time I tried the "Kalbschnitzel Al Limone" and was not disappointed - though the main challenge was to choose from the many mouth-watering dishes on the menu! Dessert was exquisite. Service always good and friendly.

Great spot in Basel to try the shredded veal meat in creamy sauce Zurich style. Good pino noir too. Would come back.

Beautiful location the restaurant has a lovely historic feel we enjoyed eating at the outdoor tables. Delicious food very generous portions. The menu is including a lot of classic Swiss items. The service was very good.

A Basel gem! The steaks were cooked to perfection tender, juicy, and full of flavor accompanied by delicious pommes and a refreshing Aperol Spritz. The setting is cozy yet elegant, and the service is attentive without being overbearing. Ideal for a relaxed dinner with friends or a special night out. Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates quality meat and great drinks.

Fiorentina offers a wide variety of dishes on the menu, and every single one of them is truly delicious. The staff are warm and welcoming, the service is fast, and the view is simply breathtaking. Honestly, what more could you ask for from a restaurant?

Best breaded veal I've ever had and the 4 cheese salad was amazing. This has to be added to everyone's itinerary. The service was good and the view, so relaxing. Loved it

Very nice restaurant with lovely terrace. A nice variety in the menu. All dishes are very nicely prepared. A good wine list. The staff is very friendly and attentive. Come with patience since the food can take some time when it’s very crowded.

Absolutely loved this place! The food was incredibly delicious — every dish was full of flavor and beautifully presented. The staff were super friendly and made us feel so welcome. Cozy atmosphere, great vibes, and amazing service. Totally recommend it to anyone visiting the area! ❤️🍽️

The terrace has a very romantic atmosphere and is the perfect spot for a date, with a wonderful view of the Rhine. That said, the tables are quite close together, so you can easily hear other people’s conversations, which might be a drawback if you value privacy. We ordered paccheri with shrimp, a margherita pizza, and cocktails. The food was decent, but nothing extraordinary — I’d rate it as average in terms of food quality.

Fiorentina is a great choice for upscale Italian food with a great view of the Rhine river. Wide selection of meat and vegetarian dishes, including pizza from the wood-fire oven. All dishes were delicious, flavorful, and freshly made. Friendly and accomdating staff.

The views were spectacular as also the food!😃 We had a wonderful hostess from 🇷🇴! She was very courteous. I would highly recommend this establishment if you are in Basel 🇨🇭

I recently dined with my friends..and had a rather unusual experience. While the service was generally polite, there were a couple of points that left me a bit disappointed. Firstly, I ordered a pizza that unfortunately didn't meet my expectations. It seemed to have very little cheese, which is a key component for me. When I inquired about it, I was informed that the cook had to leave unexpectedly, leading to the pizza being prepared quickly. While I appreciate the honesty, the quality of the pizza suffered as a result. Secondly, I was surprised to find an extra charge on my bill for the cheese, despite the limited amount that was actually present. I understand that unforeseen circumstances can arise in a restaurant setting, and I appreciate the waiter's polite explanation. However, I feel that the pizza's quality and the extra charge didn't align with the overall dining experience I was hoping for. I hope this feedback can be used to ensure better consistency in the future.

We were here on a Sunday for lunch. The staff was very kind and efficient, and friendly. They brought very quickly the pizza for our 3 year old son. The pizza dough is really nice and not too salty, which we found good also for our kid. The ingredients seemed all fresh. Coffee was also really good!

The service was very good, we loved the food, the price according to Switzerland, of course. I really liked the atmosphere of the place. 10/10

The food is good , reasonable prices. I was here with 12 colleagues , all enjoyed their meal and agreed to come back again. We had an excellent , friendly waiter who knew exactly and was prepared what to do , as we all paid separately . Service was very good. We had a reservation since we were a large group but generally they can find a table for you as the restaurant is fairly large.

Been here multiple times during my regular travels to Basel. Always enjoy the food, service and atmosphere. Tonight had exceptional service from Yasser. Pricing is modest for Switzerland.

This is a very nice place and food is soooo delicious. The waiter was very polite. The atmosphere was soooi good. We recommend this place

Authentic Italian dishes made with fresh, high-quality ingredients, a warm atmosphere, and the best staff. Highly recommended.

An unforgettable dinner experience! The hospitality at Royal Palace was truly outstanding – the staff welcomed us warmly and made us feel right at home. The food was incredibly flavorful and authentic. The butter chicken was rich and very delicious, perfectly paired with soft, buttery naan. The mango lassi was refreshing and a must-try! We were also delighted by the complimentary salad – such a thoughtful gesture that added to the homely vibe. Every bite reflected the love and tradition of Indian cuisine. Huge thanks to the wonderful team for their kindness and excellent service. We’ll definitely be back soon!

We decided to try Indian kitchen and it was truly the best experience you can get, so much seasoning mixing and vusiuning with each and other it’s definitely a must to visit this restaurant!

Nice restaurant with very good service and the owner along with the staff ensures that each guest is welcomed with warmth and good wishes. They come and interact affectionately with every one for that personal touch. Food is good and prices are reasonable.

Best Indian food available in Royal Palace,Basel! I’ve ordered other Indian restaurants before, but this is truly the best Indian food I have ever tried.I ordered Lamb Rogan Josh, Chicken Tikka Masala, Tandoori Naan, and Chicken Curry to deliver at my residence. Everything was absolutely delicious, authentic, and full of flavor. The food arrived right on time, and the price was fair as well. I’ve also tried ordering through Uber Eats before, but the delivery was delayed. Ordering directly from the restaurant was a much better experience — punctual and perfect. Highly recommend!

Extremely delicious 🤤 real Indian food, great service, they are really kind and make you feel at home. I’m from Mexico and they asked me if I wanted the Mexican level of spice and they absolutely delivered. I recommend the chicken vindaloo and the garlic bread ❤️👌🏻

Good Indian food at a reasonable price. We had 5 dishes which we shared and had a bit of leftovers to take home in a doggy bag provided by the very friendly staff.

I was a loyal customer for 6 years, despite inconsistent food. Yesterday, they crossed a line. My husband went to pick up our order, and staff assumed he was an Uber driver, telling him to fetch his Uber bag solely because he is Black. And for the ignorant who’ll try to justify it by saying, “maybe he looked like one because he was dressed similarly,” he was in smart pants and leather loafers. They’ve seen him with me many times before, but I guess they also think all Black people look the same. This is racial profiling, and I won’t support it.

Great place to try good quality Swiss beef. The veal schnitzel was perfectly cooked and the accompanying vegetables were so flavourful and roasted to perfection. I'd be eating here every day of it was not so expensive 🫰

The service was very kind and even spoke English but sadly we can’t give it more than 3 stars as the value for money was not justified and food was forgettable. We had two types of sausages (white and standard) and the broccoli in vinaigrette. They could improved it with better pretzel and bread, and with some nice butter. The rosti could be done better too (potatoes more caramelised). We liked that they offered locally brewed beer though. Would go again if right occasion came

Restaurant Löwenzorn is such a popular local restaurant that it's always full !!! During summer they let customers sit outside at their courtyard, a very relaxing dining environment. Ordered one of their specials, Vitello Tonnato, which is cold roast beef served with tuna sauce, you know what, this is one of the perfect chemistry I've ever had in my mouth, with the decorations of capers in the mix of flavors, OMG, you have to order this dish !!! I will definitely look forward to come here again during winter to sit in the indoor dining area of this almost 600 years old historical landmark, a lovely traditional swiss wooden decorated place.

A great option for a traditional Swiss restaurant. Had the veal sausage with onion sauce and rosti and it was very good. Notably there is a spacious outdoor patio in a courtyard - a relaxing place to visit in the summer to be sure.

We thoroughly enjoyed this restaurant. I loved my steak tartare and the three others in our group enjoyed theirs as well. My husband had a burger and found it delicious.

Had lovely starter; fondue with a lovely Swiss meat and a Warm chocolate volcano with amaretto ice cream & blueberry-ragout. It was delicious

Fortunately had some excellent weather to enjoy the outdoor dining. Fondu today had too much of a beer taste. Overall good food

Popular Thai Restaurant in Klein Basel. The restaurant was really busy and you definitely need to reserve a table in advance. The food was delicious although some dishes were almost too hot and spicy for my taste. The service was very good and tried their best. We were all satisfied and I can recommend this restaurant, especially since the prices were reasonable.

I came alone, was seated and never got the menu while the waiters were chatting at the bar. This is not welcoming and not how you value your customers. It's a shame because the ambience is very nice. Time of visit Tuesday the 17th of December, '24 at 18:15.

So good place! Very tasty, with wonderful family vibe. It was very good choice, food was great, service was super friendly.

Very friendly, excellent food and a matching ambiance. Great value for money

What an amazing meal we had! A last minute decision to give it at try resulted in us getting a table right at 6 (thanks for that!) because we had a flight to catch. Definitely recommend reservations here. By 6:15 most tables were full. Great service, delicious & fresh ingredients. We will definitely come back next time we‘re in Basel.

Yummy Thai food and Thai staff are very nice and friendly. The restaurant can adjust the taste and spicy level to be as you prefer so for a Thai person like me, my dish (Pad Bai Ga Pow mhoo) was very satisfying :)

Quite dirty. Lots of dust hasn't been cleaned for a while I didn't have any takeaway, but I sat in your restaurant. I had the same comments as other restaurants because it is full of dust over the table, but definitely not so much dust like in yours. And when you are already checking on me, you can see that the majority of my ratings are 5.

I had a great experience here — the food was absolutely delicious, and the atmosphere was cozy and full of traditional charm. Highly recommended if you're looking for a place with great taste and a warm, authentic vibe.

The food, the service, the location & views just perfect. We enjoyed every minute and bite.

Food and service were great. Menu is both in German and English. If you're a tartare lover, this is your go to place, their's is excellent!

Great location in a beautiful old part of Basel, make sure to stroll around the area after or before eating. The restaurant serves delicious food, especially the seafood is a joy! And the staff is super attentive, kind and helpful. I'm always enjoying my time in this historical place.

Very good restaurant, the food is delicious and they offer various options of wine. It isn't cheap but the price is worth it.

Nice location, especially pleasant in summer when they setup tables under the trees. Makes it the perfect place for an "apero". Good food (they do have a lot of fish options), good wines, and great service. Be sure to make a reservation if you go a Friday evening or Saturday.

Lovely outside dining spot just off the river edge. Tried all three fish entrees. Very generous portions and well cooked. Included nettle gnocchi and saffron risotto. Gazpacho very refreshing.

The food was descent, it wasn’t spiced enough in my opinion,like it was very toned down.The pakooras were a bit too oily in my opinion and especially the veg biriyani wasn’t special,it tasted almost like plain rice. The service is descent,they seemed a bit clumsy but they weren’t rude or anything and the interior is nothing special,pretty average. We went for dinner and around 19:15 it got so loud you could barely hear your company talking. And it’s quite pricey.

Exceptional service. Authentic Indian food. Amazing atmosphere. We tried them out while visiting Zurich/Basel and were pleasantly surprised. The chef even offered us a traditional delicacy that is not on the menu. Highly recommend going here for all your Indian food cravings. Tandoori Tikka was juicy and cooked perfectly. Naans and Tandoori Butter Chicken was phenomenal.

Fantastic Indian restaurant! The service is amazing and everyone so kind - and food also so so good ❤️

Hi, last night my husband placed a takeaway order for mutter paneer from your restaurant. It was not good at all — there was way too much cream, and although my husband had asked for it to be spicy, it was completely mild. We were not satisfied at all. This was our first time ordering from you, and it will also be our last. Thanks.

We have been going to indian tandoori place for a year and half since we moved from Singapore. Once a week is a must to eat their food in the restaurant or delivery. The food is delicious. Try everything you will not be disappointed. Sometimes the service is slow. Other than that it’s a great service.

Great restaurant for Indian food. The owner and the staffs are really nice and friendly. The foods are of great taste. Close to authenticate spicy-taste. The decoration is not the top one, but overall ok. Lunch buffet is worth trying. The dinner menus are great as well. Highly recommended.

During our initial time in Basel, I searched for an Indian restaurant in the neighborhood. Indian Tandoori Palace popped up in search with good reviews, and we decided to give it a try. We went to this place during our birthday party. No doubt that it had such a high rating. The food was awesome here. It was so tasty that we couldn't resist ourselves from coming back again. We tried 7-8 curries from non-vegetarian menus, and all of them were delicious, finger-licking. They have lot of varieties for vegetarian as well. What added sugar coating to it is the super friendly behavior of the staff and hospitality. I'll highly recommend it for Indian Cuisine in Basel and will definitely visit again and again!
