The 38 best places to eat in Basel

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.

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.

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

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

The food was very tasty and the waiter was very friendly and explained to us the brewing process (which happens behind the restaurant). This meant we had really nice beer and were even given a tasting of the beers they brew locally. The only thing I can complain about is the price, but the costs are very transparent even on the menu at the door.

A rather mediocre and underwhelming experience with decent but bland food. The restaurant staff was very friendly, but seemed rather overwhelmed and not in control of the situation, sometimes not even responding to us asking for a refill. They forgot about our table reservation and offered it up to a spontaneous walk-in group, while leaving us with the choice of splitting up or squeezing in tight. The food was decent, but way to overpriced for what it was and felt rather bland (Might be my personal preference though, cause I enjoy good seasoning). Meat wasn’t medium and instead done and on some parts randomly rare, while the herb butter was a frozen chunk. Portions were adequate, but some of the plates we received were dirty. All in all not a bad experience but I will not go again and definitely not recommend it to any of my friends.

Started with the Buffalo mozzarella. Definitely a winner! For meals, we had a pretzel burger and the prime rib. Both were outstanding! Wait staff were all friendly and attentive. Added bonus of a marching band playing down the street and then showing up in front of this place. Away from the "touristy" areas. Highly recommend!

Hidden gem on a side street just off the Rhine. Old Swiss tavern style without being too overdone. Modern bar with plenty of schnapps, good wine, and tasty draft beer. Had several of their beers, including a seasonal stout that was surprisingly really good. Food was phenomenal, especially the seasonal asparagus cream soup. Stellar experience.

Super nice place! We had dinner here and i ordered the vegetarian tartar. Within minutes they asked how it was. I said it was not how i expected it to be. They offered a new dish immediately. Great service, fast and kind. We will come back for sure.

A week in Basel and this was my best dining experience. Friendly staff, lovely outdoor dining, great beer, beautifully plated meals, extremely delicious sauces and homemade spatzle offerings. A must do restaurant!

We went there on Easter night and we were very pleased with the food. The waiter was very nice and polite, taking care of our needs especially with 2 little ones and let us order for the kids first. Good beer, very good Swiss/German food especially if you are a meat lover.

Was here for the last official dinner of the year for our working group. The restaurant has a traditional and elegant feel to it, with wooden flooring. We had a 3 course dinner consisting of salad, main course and dessert plate. The main course was the veal escalope with pepper sauce, tagliolini and zucchini. The veal was soft, juicy and delicious. The dessert plate plate was good and refreshing. But italians might find the tagliolini a tad overcooked and soft. Overall, an enjoyable experience. Very good for fine dining

The food is fresh and tasty. Fish was very delicious. Hats off to kitchen staff. The service can be better.

I have been to this bar mostly every day of my stay in Basel.. it’s extremely beautiful, ambience and all

Visited the restaurant back in November (menu has changed since then). Warm and quaint interior. The service was delightful, both waitresses were very eager and helpful. The dishes were tasty, although a bit simplistic, and thus I’m ambivalent about the michelin star. However it is a fine restaurant by swiss standards and the value for money is unbeatable.

In the restaurant pretending to be "Michelin" they add white wine to the glass even though it's not empty yet. The kitchen is good but the waiters are not well trained.

Service was really good. They catered for my fructose intolerance right down to the smallest detail and gave me different options without reservation. The food was very tasty especially the tuna tartate. Highly recommend

Absolutely delicious and stunning food. Not a single fault to complain about. Truly exceptional. The service was also very kind but seemed a bit incompetent and slow when it came to splitting the bill.

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!

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!

Still one of our go to places to celebrate in Basel. Never had a bad meal. Bonus is that in the summer their air-conditioning is one of the best I have experienced in Basel. For those with babies the changing facilities are excellent and they even have emergency nappies.

Wonderful place for Asian fusion food in Basel. Came here with a colleague for dinner and was pleased with the food, service and atmosphere. We had the gyoza and shrimp for starters, the risotto and salmon for mains and the chocolate fondant for dessert. Everything was great and would recommend this place if you want a switch from Italian and Swiss good.

Sushi was good, good variety, well served and tasty. The dessert at 16.5 chf feels overpriced even when compared to the rest of the menu Staff is friendly and service was above average I will return here

I am amazed by this incredible restaurant. It is by far the best sushi and saki I have ever had! Kimihide Ishiguro is a sushi master, and he was able to craft specialty custom-made sushi for me per request. This made it possible for me to enjoy the sushi here for my birthday, as I am gluten free and vegan and typically have a hard time finding a place to appreciate sushi. I am so impressed, and thankful to have this wonderful place in Basel, Switzerland to enjoy the best sushi in the world!

Good food! The Singapore chicken and Red Thai Prawn curry is excellent! Updated Jan 2024: Came back here for our group dinner. Service standards have improved greatly. Our orders came very quickly this time, and the food is still as good.

We went there excited seeing the positive reviews on google, hoping for very good and authentic asian food, unfortunately our overall experience was not recommandable and we wouldn't come back. We took 2 starters that we shared, the Tom kha soup and the Papaya salad, which were presented well and were pretty good even though they were pretty expensive for just starters. Our big deception came from the main dishes, we had 2x Soba noodles with Duck, 1x Soba noodles vegeterian and 1x Fried rice with chicken. They were presented in warmed and very nice plates so presentation was very nice, however the most important is how the food tastes and the price. The soba noodles sauce was too sweet with barely any veggies, the duck was dry and served in big chunks which didn't make it enjoyable. The fried rice had a good woke hay but that's about it, barely any veggies or variation. And when you consider prices of 44 CHF for one of those it is way overpriced. With such high prices we expected way more authenticity and quality. The service was also relatively slow, and not the most professional or welcoming. On top of that all 4 of us had bad stomach issues later that night and the next day, really disappointing considering the excessive price we paid (280 CHF for 4 persons) to get stomach pain and well presented average asian food. P.S. The Yuzu Sour cocktail for 19 CHF was also not worth it, it is quite small and just not up to standard.

Its supposed to be one of the best Sushi places in Basel. Well in short, its NOT. Has Asian dishes, Sushi/Sashimi, limited selections, no music, almost empty despite them stating a reservation is required. But nevertheless, the food was fulfilling. I had reviewed the reviews and opted for the sushi tower which was almost satisfactory. Some items were Toooo salty though. Edamame received cold. Udon with beef strips was delish to be honest but heavy and felt with gravy. Couldnt finish my plate but still managed. All in all expect to drop a couple of hundred francs for food (with no alcohol).😳😳

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.

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!

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

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.

I only visited the rooftop terrace, and it was absolutely lovely — great view and atmosphere. What really stood out was the service. Cyrill was the best waiter I’ve ever had! Super friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even more enjoyable. A true professional who made us feel welcome from the start. Highly recommend!

We visited back in April and it was the ideal hotel, the service was great and the river facing rooms were large and comfortable. The location was great, sitting right on the river surrounded by restaurants and bars. I’d happily stay here again.

Spending 5 nights in Basel visiting friends. Stopped at Krafft on their recommendation and was not disappointed. I was in a Junior Suite on the opposite side of the street from the main building and it was excellent. Very well sized and everything in the room was of a high quality. The service from everyone I met was exceptional - professional but very friendly and warm. I ate lunch in the restaurant and it was very good with first class service from Marcus (?) and the wine bar is well worth a visit for some high quality wine in a relaxed environment. Will definitely return.

Absolutely loved my stay at this cozy and welcoming hotel! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and everything is thoughtfully arranged to make guests feel at home. What really stood out was the incredibly friendly and helpful staff—always ready to assist with a smile and genuinely make your experience better. A special mention goes to the coffee machines and tea stations available on each floor—such a thoughtful touch! Having a fresh cup of coffee or tea just steps away from your room made mornings and evenings even more enjoyable. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for comfort, great service, and little details that make a big difference! 🙂

Great looking hotel with everything you need, but way too loud. We had the room with the view on Rheingasse not the River. Even on the second floor it sounds like people are standing in your room. The windows have zero sound isolation and people were partying till 2am in the morning and Construction began at 7am. But even without construction the normal city noise at 6am woke me up already. You can hear every word of people passing. Ontop there is no way to darken the room the curtains do absolutely nothing. In itself a nice Hotel but i can go to nice places for atmosphere during the day, but if I book a Hotel I expect to sleep well and it was impossible to do here. I couldve slept better in my car in the parking lot. Breakfast was impeccable and service on point. Rooms were clean and you could get bathroom utensils like toothbrush/paste etc on the hallway same with coffee and tea. Please install good windows and invest in something to actually darken the room.

We stayed here our last night on a twelve day trip. It was a perfect ending! We floated the Rhine with the locals all day and ate at local restaurants and got Gelato twice! The room was huge and even had a disco room! Highly recommend!

I had a wonderful stay here. My room overlooked the Rhine and it was so lovely. The staff were so kind and helpful to me as I didn’t know my way around. I would definitely stay here again. Warm regards from Alabama. ❤️

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!

Great place for Sunday brunch, with excellent service and a good choice of food. Good quality products, salami and cheese - top. Hot dishes and cold cuts, salmon, cava, pastries - all delicious. big questions to roast beef, sorry guys, it looks great, but very hard to chew. Overall, well done colleagues, thumbs up!!!

The place looked great for lunch. Ordered Falafel for 24CHF and got 4 little slices with nothing but a little sauce. Could easily pass as little side-snack for your beer. When asked by the cashier how it was, I replied that the volume was not up to par. She ignored that. Nomad used to be the place to recommend to visitors, but it is now showing signs of decline.

The place is buzzing with people every evening, has an amazing bar and serves delicious food! Cocktails are made professionally and served rapidly. If you're a burger fan, you must try the Nomad burger. Absolutely fantastic. Could do with a little bit more sauce for the fries, nevertheless, an excellent choice.

The Sunday Brunch was absolutely wonderful! Lots of delicious dishes to choose from. Drinks incl. tea, coffee, prosecco all inclusive. Ambience cosy, live music, attentive waiters. Can definitely recommend.

Love their Sunday brunches! Probably my favorite in Basel. The food is always fresh and they have champagne included😱 which is rare in basel. Great place for hang out, dates or whatever else! Their cocktails are also amazing

Place is beautiful. Maybe I didn’t get the message of the food. The one I ordered is the fish one. It is fish with tomatoes not quite something I would expect (not understanding the German menu and didn’t ask…). Taste wise it is ok, spicy for me. It is definitely not WOW effect for me. But place is good. Nice to sit and drink and chat.

Brunch in Sundays is just super with musicians playing live from time to time. Casual lunch with friends or colleagues during business days is convenient. I recommend their Nomad Burger

At first glance, it may look like a tourist trap, but don’t be fooled—it’s a genuinely good restaurant. The food is exceptionally flavorful, the staff are friendly and efficient, and the atmosphere is cozy with a traditional interior. It’s exactly the kind of place I enjoy dining at. If there’s room for improvement, it would be slightly larger portions and perhaps the addition of schnitzel or cordon bleu to the menu. Overall, the taste, the ambiance, and the service are all excellent. I’ll definitely be coming back.

Nice place for dinner, the food was well prepared with a couple of fusion touches and flavours. Unfortunately the place was way too hot (not just my opinion, but the majority of our large group) l, with insufficient ventilation, making for an uncomfortable dinner experience.

We chanced upon Zum Isaak on a late Sunday afternoon walking through Basel. Aside from being beautifully located on the square opposite the minster; we were looked after so nicely by all the staff. We have a 1 year old as well who was catered for and entertained by the team at Zum Isaak too. Our meal was delicious, the wine was exquisite & the poir William & ice cream desert was heavenly. Thank you for making our stay in Basel so lovely.

Terrace facing the church and internal garden terrace. Läckerli is a traditional spiced biscuit from Basel, made from honey, almonds, candied citrus peel, and a blend of spices like cinnamon and cloves. The dough is baked, cut into rectangles, and typically coated with a sugar glaze. Dense and chewy in texture, Läckerli is especially popular around holidays. The name comes from Swiss German: “läcker” means “tasty” (related to Standard German lecker), and “-li” is a diminutive suffix, so “Läckerli” roughly means “little tasty thing.”

I recommend this restaurant for a mouthwatering (business) lunch in the garden or inside. They offer a daily dish (Tagesmenü) and a variety of menus e.g. fish with potatoes. It is also a great place to drop in on a Sunday afternoon after some activity with the kids for a cup of tea and a piece of homemade cake. The restaurant is located just next to the Basler Münster.

We waited 30min and no one really cares about us. I have to go inside and complain about it. Curiously, it was not the case of the other tables were people spoken german. Service was really awfull. One of the worst in my life. If I could I would have set 0 star. One of the waitresses was really lost, didn't know what to do. Other tables were served and the other waitress came to take our order again. 1 hour to be served, no really excuse, no commercial gesture. Food was OK at least. Just go elsewhere especially if you are strangers

Nice restaurant in front of the cathedral. Had some meatballs, tasty dish but salty salty salty. I guess it was a mistake and that the chef can do better. Service was good. Otherwise, high prices, typically for the country.

Nice traditional location, professional service, classic Italian menu. The BEST is the desert wagon - a huge selection of deserts to mix and match from, I mixed three pieces (incl an amazing tiramisu), and it’s definitely the best part of the entire experience, so leave space! One star less for the wine selection… I don’t understand how a restaurant can be part of Bindella and not have a broader selection of old wines - it really just doesn’t square with the restaurant either.

Really nice restaurant, with a nice deco. The dinner service was done very professional and friendly. The dishes were well presented. The quality was good, but nothing exceptional. The dishes (both pasta and meat) were missing taste. The pasta (tagliatelle, tagliolini) were cook al dente but not much taste.

The outdoor area was filled with pizza lovers but if you like some peace and quiet from the busy shopping area outside, the second floor is a good option. It is fine dining although the clients are of the casual types. The place is also filled with art and a lot of bronze sculpture. Starters, main course and the amusing dessert rolling station are all exceptional. The service staff are like figures from a 50s black and white movie with impeccable manners and service. The filleted Branzino with fresh spinach is an outstanding choice for pescatarians.

Climbing the narrow staircase to the first floor, you push open the door and step straight into timeless Italy. Donati is far more than a restaurant—it’s an experience. The bustle of the outside world just fades away And then there’s the chariot des desserts—my true Madeleine de Proust, awakening cherished memories with every bite. The cuisine is superb, but it’s this sense of traveling through space, time, and memory that makes a meal here unforgettable.

We had booked here for a special event based on my friend's recommendation and it did not disappoint. As it was a summer evening, we sat outside on the balcony and enjoyed the stunning views onto the Rhine. Service was very good and charming, the scaloppine al limone tart and just the way I like it. Whilst I only had a couple of spoons of the tiramisu, it was excellent.

It’s a very upscale Italian restaurant in Basel, beside the Rhine River. It’s pricy but the food, the service and the ambiance of the restaurant show the value. It will be my first pick for celebrating special occasions with friends and family!

High quality, handmade pasta and food made with passion and class. Even with a wide selection of courses and dishes, the staff made every possible wish a reality. The portions where fair and bigger than most upper class establishments. The Risotto was terrific if not the best I've ever had. Grazie!!!

What an awesome experience! I'll definitely do it again. The concept of supporting individuals with visual challenges and including them as functional members of society is truly amazing. It's a super wow initiative that deserves applause. Good job!

I liked the idea a lot, the staff was so friendly and helpful. But the dish was like a small portion of snacks, you can't call it a dish, we were waiting for the main dish!!! the tables and chairs also are too cheap, not because there's no lights they keep the furniture as cheap as possible? You don't need light to feel the comfort!!

It is an incredibly eye-opening experience. It raises awareness on blindness and the challenges that it can bring in our daily life. I loved the 4 courses menu: eating in complete darkness of course challenges you in trying to depict what you're eating and which flavors are in your plate. Also shout out to Bernie, our waitress. She is amazingly fast and ready to accomodate your wishes. I highly recommend this place for a different dinner night out.

We venture on a journey to eblindekuh_basel, and the experience was truly remarkable. Dining in complete darkness heightened our senses, relying on just four of them. This unique encounter not only offers an intense culinary adventure but also fosters an understanding of blindness and its daily struggles.Big thanks to Cooper and Sina for the great service! I wholeheartedly recommend it.

Experience that is worth trying! I had a surprise menu dinner with my partner and I would recommend trying the experience. Eating in the dark is a great way to test your ability in figuring out what you are eating and how to move on the table.

Very fun experience. We were a bit scared that we would panic in a dark room or feel oppressed, but our attendant was very reassuring and made us all very comfortable. Is was really interesting to eat in the dark (with the help of our fingers, we confess!). This is a fun experience to share in a group or with family/Friends.

It was a nice experience to have eaten dinner completely in the dark! The food was not that special, but I loved everything else. The service was great (we could eat earlier than the timeslot we made reservations for) and the hosts were very amiable.

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.

Amazing place! Nice variety of food stalls to choose from. We’ve had momo and a falafel plate, both great. Beer is good as well. Recommended!

Great place with a variety of food to choose from. Good choice of drinks and first of all awesome atmosphere!

If you are in Basel and want a really fun place to eat this is the place. We had Thai and Vietnamese meals there both were fresh and delicious. Service was quick and the atmosphere is local young and relaxed.

The setting is a self service, street food like, but the price as high as the most restaurant. I had much better version of Buncha in a resto with the same amount of money, 23 CHF. The salad that came with empanada was one of the worst, the string beans were so overcooked, the each ingredients were not appetizing at all. I think I will not return here.

Great place with a huge variety of international cuisine. Freshly made and portions are fair in relation to the price. Huge space to have also just drinks with friends and séparée, lounge and bar.

A good market offering a selection of cuisines. African, Indian, Italian, Vietnamese, and a few more. I had pho and spring rolls, which were delicious. Good atmosphere, too. There are plenty of tables to sit at, as well as a bar. Compared to other restaurants in Basel, the prices are reasonable. There is a tram stop right outside and the market is accessible.

Central, easy to find, uncomplicated, casual place. I love the diverse food court, option for events as well as the bistro/bar. I come here to either meet with friends or with ppl who are not from Basel, makes it easier to accommodate different moods on food and/or available budget. This place works so well because there is no table service, you get your own food, pay on the spot and you bring back your own tableware to the designated station after you have finished. This can feel a bit impersonal if you are not used to this kind of settings, but I appreciate that sometimes. You can eat-in as well as take out and some of the food stands offer delivery within the individual opening hours. Seating inside as well as outside. Side note: It's not allowed to consume food or drinks that you did not buy there.

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!

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

Amazing chocolate that isn't presented in such a pretentious manner like the other confectionery shops in Basel. Their chocolate cakes are rich and dense, the hot chocolates are velvety and beautiful. Their own brand chocolate bars are also delicious and a reasonable price. The olive oil one is something special. The staff are also very friendly and helpful. Loved this place.

Grabbed the chocolate cherry tortes and the rosemary and salted almond one. Absolutely dreamy. Think ganache with a slight crust of having met an oven at some point in its lifetime. At CHF6.50 a slice that's very reasonable for the standard and quality of ingredients. They'd definitely charge more in London. Lovely staff as well.

A fantastic spot to spend an hour on a dreary day Don't be afraid to try the cold chocolate drink as well as the hot- both are great. The chocolate torte (xocolatl-tarte) is also incredible and rich.

The best chocolate cake I’ve ever had!! The lady at the store was nice enough to walk us through all the chocolate cake options. The one she recommended was decadent!

They have some gluten-free cake and a real coffee machine. Table service. English menu available. Very friendly.

We liked their cakes and chocolates. Also the drinks were nice. The place has the feeling of the old times. The staff is friendly

Very impressive selection of chocolates from around the world and also from Switzerland. There’s a cute cafe where you can sit and enjoy hot beverages as well as their delicious home baked treats. The flourless (gluten-free!) dark chocolate cake is out of this world! Absolutely delicious! Very friendly staff.

Had a great time at this bar! The atmosphere was very nice—cozy and inviting. The service was excellent, with friendly and attentive staff. The cocktails were top-notch, well-crafted, and delicious. Definitely a great spot to unwind and enjoy a great drink. Highly recommend!

Excellent coffee but we can’t say that for a waiter, so for service only 3 stars.

Relaxed setting, attentive bartenders and yummy cocktails. If you’re unsure what to order, they would suggest the perfect cure for whatever you’re feeling that day… The two of us had a lovely evening — every single time we are here, we are always welcomed with smiles.

The sweetest service ever 🥹🩷 Everyone is super nice and helpful, smiling the biggest smiles, and the food and coffee is amazing!!! The best poké in Basel for sure 😋 Strongly recommend

Friendly service next to the church, lots of tables and seats too.

L'Atelier is a tremendous place for a drink on the evening, with a great atmosphere and friendly staff. One of the best bars in town. Foodwise, this place also makes excellent poke bowls with tuna, salmon or tofu and many more ingredients to chose from! Absolutely delicious, packed with fresh produce, prepared to order and ready in no time. 100% recommend!

If you like an espresso martini come here and the poke bowl are fantastic if you red a fresh bite. Staff is always friendly and helpful. !

This is a great cheese store with an amazing cheese selection. Their staff is very nice, their service is outstanding, they offer the best suggestions and advice based on your preference. They give you samples to try and make sure you're happy with the products you're taking home. Highly recommend it!

Do they have the best raclette cheese in Basel? Yes they do. During peak Christmas days they conveniently open window just for fondue & raclette sales. 🥰 Note to self: closed over lunch

one of the best cheese shops in Basel! Great selection! Guys know what they do! Cheese lover paradise

Outstanding cheese shop with a wide variety of regionally sourced products, including wine, pickles, preserves and bread. Extremely friendly and helpful service. Be sure to book a table at their fondue Stübli during the annual Herbstmesse! They have a really unique selection that rivals the best cheese shops I've seen across the world.

They offer a great variety of cheese here; staff are always very friendly and helpful. Prices are (naturally) higher compared to supermarket but still fair.

Excellent choice, true "curators" of cheese. Great service and prices. Perfect !

Best quality you can get. Great product range with swiss, french and other cheese. Very friendly and qualified staff!

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 👏👍👌❤😊

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.

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.

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

Nice spot with an amazing view on the main square of Basel. Macchiato was spot on and the sweat treat was excellent! Well done for the service, the lady was multitasking and friendly. Even her Majesty has tasted this sweets, her letter is shown in the shop!

One of the best known and oldest cafes & confiseries of Basel, set in a beautiful sandstone building overlooking its fairytale town hall. The pastries & chocolates are very high quality. The tearoom upstairs is an elegant old charmer perfect for an afternoon tea.

A must-visit in Basel every time! I first came here almost 30 years ago and it’s still as charming as ever. Lovely café with timeless atmosphere, delicious cakes, and warm service right by the Rathaus!

The tea room upstairs is kind of a hidden gem but a local favorite. If you are in mood for a low key authentic and rich atmosphere this is the place. Has cool pictures of old Town Basel on walls.

Nobody was interested at our arrival. No suggestions, no efforts in speaking English, the Sacher tort was not the original recepee at all and it was impossible to finish. Service could be better, pastries could be better, only the place is an ancient palace absolutely stunning, but It should be renovated with a better quality seats and wall covering. Try another pastry shop/coffee in Basel.

The staff is poorly trained and somewhat understaffed. I came twice last week and left both times after waiting over 10 minutes without being served. Service is excruciatingly slow (even by Swiss standards). A few other customers have recently noted the same issue as well. On previous visits, I had to go to the food stand myself to ask to pay or flag down a waiter, often feeling like I was bothering them. Now, they simply do not bother to come at all. There seems to be no awareness of which table needs what or who is still waiting. P.S. I do not expect a response. I may give it another try in half a year, but if the service remains the same, I will neither return nor recommend this place to any of my many international friends.

Historical coffee dessert place which services lunch as well. The 1870 establishment has a fantastic view of Basler Rathaus, from the outdoor and the second floor. Lunch was pleasant, small tart with asparagus and pilz-schnitte, brioche toast in mixed mushroom sauce.

We had a great/decent dinner I had to adjust my review from 4 to 2. I went with friends for a drink and was super excited to see they had fresh Guinness, but unfortunately, it was the worst Guinness I have ever had! I was so disappointed. 0/5 when it’s come for their Guinness.

Food was good although the portions rather small given the price you pay for a main course. The service tonight was rather slow which kills the experience for a great meal. Positive is the wine selection, both white and red we had were very nice. The atmosphere of the restaurant is very good; you can start with a nice drink or cocktail at the bar before you go upstairs for the meal which I like about this place. Overall a good experience and a nice place for a good dinner, again, the prices for the main courses are rather at the higher end of the scale, hence only 3 stars - for those prices I expect better/fast and more attentive service.

I would give this bar/cafe no stars if I could. I dared to sit outside and whilst there for nearly 2 hours NO ONE came outside to take my order. I had to go in both times to order something. Shocking! They even came outside to other tables but entirely overlooked me. Then when paying, they couldn’t even put both items on the same bill, but made separate bills so I needed to pay twice separately for two drinks. As I was sitting outside, because it felt nice and fresh, the man who worked there told me at 8:30pm on a Friday night that he needed to clean up the outside area and chairs, essentially saying I should go! I’ve been to many places and by far this is the worst I’ve been treated. Won’t ever go there again.

Food was ok, but took exceptionally long (almost 1h for a sandwich and salad). It seemed like they had to run to the store to get some ingredients too.

Very nice ambience and jummy chai latte tea

Had a great casual lunch here. Overlooks a nice little intersection to watch as people and trams go by. Had a very large salad and sandwich split amongst two people. Service was a bit slower than the average we experienced, but also seemed a bit short staffed. Was overall a really nice meal though!

Very friendly staff, great atmosphere and food was incredible. A little on the pricey side if you are used to prices outside of Switzerland but we found it to be on average with everywhere else. Wurst Salad quite possibly the best salad I have ever had, would definitely recommend!

We had a double birthday celebration at the restaurant and it was a perfect choice. Quality of food is really good, service was impecable and we were lucky that it was a quite warm night so we enjoyed the terrace and the views over the river. Definitely a place to visit

Excellent restaurant with incredible food, amazing service, and a warm/inviting atmosphere tucked alongside Beautiful views of the city lit up at night. Try the pike perch entree and make a reservation (we walked in & snagged the last table by luck). The staff was exceptionally observant as they adapted our meal's pace to better match the slightly faster dining experience we have back in the states. I mention this because it takes a keen eye to recognize & adapt to a customer's dining pace, which Rhywyera's owner & his staff have mastered. Don't miss this gem.

My favourite restaurant in Basel! The redfish with celery mashed potatoes was divine! Fish was delicious and made to perfection and the celery addition to the mash was great, made the texture just perfect. The atmosphere is amazing, our table was overlooking the river and outside! Couldn't really ask for me!

This is by far the best experience you can possibly have in Basel!! We had a fondue night with our family and it’ll be unforgettable!!! To Bruno and Reinhardt, our biggest thank you!!!

Great location in front of the Rhine river although the terrace is rather small. Been few times. Staff is nice and considerate although this last time we waited 30min for our meal, which I think is a bit too much for lunch. Food is ok without being spectacular, but fresh. Overpriced, 48 quid for a single meal with a coke.

Had a lunch special, was good. If you get the good seats on the terrace, the view is nicer. If not the view is very restricted.

Relaxing atmosphere - light and airy place on the river - food was delicious and the service was exceptional - our waiter was extremely accommodating and knowledgable of the city.

Got the tarte flambee with bacon and onion and the bhudda bowl with tandoori chicken. The bhudda bowl is a variety of items in the salad but not really worth it for the price of 25 CHF. Not enough chicken The tarte flambee on the other hand was thin and delightful. Perfect for sharing. Nice atmosphere and good for a lunch meal before going to the paper mill musuem next door

Popped in during a thunderstorm to get out of the rain and enjoyed a Cappuccino and a slice of carrot cake. Loved the pub like atmosphere and service was great for the amount of people coming in at one time so close to closing.

I had a fantastic time at this restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious — every dish was full of flavor and beautifully presented. The location is perfect, right near the Rhine, and the terrace is especially lovely in the summer. It’s a great spot to relax and enjoy the view. The service was also top-notch — our waitress was extremely friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. On top of all that, the prices are very fair for the quality and setting. Highly recommended!

Exceptional Service for a Large Birthday Brunch!I recently celebrated my birthday with over 15 friends at the Papiermühle Café Sunday brunch, and the experience was absolutely outstanding!The service was genuinely supportive, friendly, and incredibly warm from the moment we arrived. They went above and beyond, allowing me to come in early to decorate our table with balloons and seamlessly handling the organization of my own birthday cake.The open buffet brunch was delicious, and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the food and the time together. A major highlight is their attention to dietary needs: two of my friends are gluten-free, and they were thrilled to find excellent lactose-free and gluten-free options available, meaning no one had to miss out.At 33 CHF including one drink, the Sunday brunch is fantastic value. I always enjoy coming here, and I highly recommend Papiermühle Café, especially if you are planning a celebration or need to accommodate a large group!

I love this restaurant! They have fantastic service and fantastic food! It’s a great place to grab brunch with friends outside. They make all of their baked goods themselves and they are DELICIOUS. This restaurant is definitely a hidden gem of Basel.

Very nice place specially to seat outside. Menu for lunch is limited but couple of good options

Clean, healthy, delicious food at a reasonable price in beautiful surroundings

Nice restaurant and super tasty brunch Great view to the Rhein and super calm place.

Delicious food, very nice service and perfect for see the sunset!

To have a cordon bleue with Gruyère on our way to Milan all the way from Amsterdam with a pretty and relaxing view was 👌 we arrived after the kitchen was already closed but they were happy to serve us. Sweet people! I bet it’s good in the summer.

hidden treasure, exceptionnel good, very nice

Have you wanted to experience the looks and smell of the water fairing Rhine going ships, while sitting in a unique restaurant, come and see the “rusty anker” ⚓️ rostiger Anker. Daily changing menues, fish and other local dishes, with a fresh beer or a good choice of wine, might be your future secret hiding spot, to escape the normal city life.

Great place for having a meal or just something to drink. Great view on the industrial part of the port. Good food. Very nice staff. Good price to value. Selection of open wines is so so, but some reasonable bottles. Sunday brunch is also good. In summer and especially around weekend evenings a reservation is recommended at least a week ahead.

Very nice, friendly, interesting place. During lunch you can watch the ships pass by, turning around to move into the harbour.... The menu is simple but very tasty! Love this place

Unpretentious but high quality. Great service with a friendly smile. The asparagus and strawberries entree was particularly special and our main dish - the beef roulade- was just perfect. The menu is a little pricy but the quality is very high. You won’t regret it!

We came here by chance and loved everything about this place. The food is of high quality, delicious and all locally sourced. Service was fast and efficient. Atmosphere is great. The icing on the cake: they serve food until late and there are superb vegan and vegetarian options.

Simple dishes with fresh local ingredients—you can really taste the freshness.

Decent place to meet friends or colleagues after work for a beer. The food is quite simple, not too elaborate, but well prepared. We ordered the soup of the day as an appetizer. It was a simple pumpkin puree soup, pleasant but not outstanding in flavor. As a main course we chose the frikadellen and Fish and Chips.The meatballs were well balanced, served with vegetables and sauce. The fish and chips were in a well done crispy batter. The only thing was that they were over salted. The main courses we had to wait for an hour, which is a bit long but not critical. For dessert we got sorbet and coffee, they were ok too In general, nothing outstanding, just a nice place with good food. I'd say this place is quite expensive for the food you're getting, but for Basel it's okay

Thoughtfully put-together menu of seasonal ingredients. Nice atmosphere, if a touch cramped (our table for two had our table almost touching the adjacent one).

Without a doubt one of the best restaurants in Basel. They use regional and seasonal products. Small but amazing menu.

Absolutely fantastic. Atmosphere is friendly and attentive. Servers are helpful, funny, and have great suggestions. The food was delicious. Tasty takes on classics and new adventures, every mouthful was exquisite. Really enjoyed every minute. The real kicker is that all the food is local! But they mean it! So, no black pepper, no black tea, no lemons! They make do with everything else - we had a lemon tart, without lemons! But it tastes exactly like lemons! (Made from unripe grapes!) Definitely go, and be amazed at what they can do! I'll be going back :) PS - for the caffeine lovers, don't worry.. They have exactly one exception to the local rule... Coffee beans!

Authentic Moroccan food served with a smiling face. Served hot and tastes very good. Near the main road with parking on street on the other side.All of us liked the taste and flavor very much. Food served has enough quantity and the guests are attended immediately and well. A very good place to dine

Title: A Hidden Gem for Moroccan Cuisine in Basel! If you're looking for an exceptional dining experience in Basel, look no further than this delightful Moroccan restaurant! The culinary delights here are simply outstanding. From the moment you step inside, you're welcomed by the warm ambiance and the rich aromas of authentic Moroccan spices. The food is truly exquisite; every dish we've tried has been bursting with flavor and prepared to perfection. The highlight of our meal was the traditional Moroccan tagine, which was tender and beautifully seasoned. Pairing it with their refreshing green tea made for the perfect end to our meal. This restaurant undoubtedly deserves the title of the best in Basel for Moroccan cuisine. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for delicious food and a wonderful dining experience!

We found this place by chance as it was Xmas day, a lot of the restaurants in Basel are closed. And after having our dinner at Restaurant Sahara, we didnt left with any regrets. Food were phenomenally authentic and the lady owner is cheerful and proactive. I can recommend to anyone who would like to have some variety in their lunch/dinner outings.

The food was extremely delicious & the host was very welcoming & kind.

It was a very good experience. The service was great, and the food was delicious. Highly recommend it The place doesn’t except credit card, and the owner was very kind and help us for a very good solution. We are very appreciate it thank you very much.

What a fabulous experience !! A real hiding jewel , typical Moroccan food , we tried the Sahara meza 4 different appetizers with falafel and sambusa and olives , was tasty fresh and delicious , I liked the Moroccan tea the same taste in morocco , the restaurant having outdoor and indoor , the decoration simple and Cosy , the owner so nice person very descent and welcoming , the chef lady so nice and polite she gave us a nice explanation of every plate we ordered, the restaurant not so remarkable from outside so keep eyes once u reach the traffic light , and diffenetely I will go back for more dishes to try

I cannot explain this. Such amazing food. It was remarkable. Delicious. An absolute must. The starter plate I found a bit little. Incredibly delicious non the less. You have to try the couscous. It blew me away. And don’t get me started on this Arabic coffee. Never! have I had such delicious coffee. And the service here super friendly and kind. What a beautiful experience.

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
