"Barrier-free" Restaurants in Canton of Basel-Stadt
In the magnificent Grand Hotel Les Trois Rois, the Cheval Blanc delights with French haute cuisine full of clarity and finesse - refined with Mediterranean and Asian nuances. The cuisine is of the highest calibre - a gastronomic royal experience.
The brasserie at the famous Les Trois Rois hotel is always the perfect place for a sophisticated dinner or a delicious business lunch. In an elegant atmosphere with a view of the Rhine, you will be spoilt with perfectly prepared classic dishes and exquisite wines.
The Ackermannshof combines historical architecture with award-winning cuisine. The dishes are well thought out and creatively composed without being overloaded. The quiet inner courtyard and the carefully designed restaurant create a fitting setting.
Because the real "Chez Donati" is being renovated, a temporary location has been created on Barfüsserplatz - above the "Brötlibar", which still provides uncomplicated snacks. Things are dignified here. Tables set in white, uniformed waiters. It would be unimaginable for anyone to sit around unobserved for even a minute. Regulars are greeted with a handshake and no one has to wait for wine recommendations. We start with Ferrari rosé, fine Bürli and good olive oil. The menu is dominated by classics. Gazpacho with San Marzano tomatoes, Parma ham with melon, sea bream for two. Our vitello tonnato is impeccably seasoned, the sauce is easily enough to soak the bread in. Seppie e piselli are almost a creative flight of fancy: The mixture of finely chopped and meticulously cooked strips of cuttlefish and peas is expertly seasoned and the epitome of a summery Italian dish. The maître does not advise against the requested Vermentino, but recommends an Apulian blend of Fiano and Chardonnay from Pietrabianca, while at the next table, despite the mild outside temperatures, a bottle of strong red wine is opened. That's right, why wait for winter with Amarone and Vino Nobile? The menu is well-stocked anyway, and the wines by the glass range from Lageder's Pinot Grigio to Prunotto's Barbaresco. The highlight of the Donati spectacle, however, is the dessert trolley, which you can let yourself be tempted by. We try strawberries and tiramisu, the first aromatic, the second quite sweet. Just like it used to be.
With its narrow façade, it is easy to overlook, but inside, modern cuisine awaits in a purist ambience. Creative dishes are served as four- or six-course menus - well thought out and harmonious. In addition to wine, there are also recommended non-alcoholic accompaniments.
The beautiful tiled stove in the centre of the hall of Basel's oldest guild house tells a lot of history. The cuisine, dominated by classics such as cordon bleu or Egliknusperli, impresses with market-fresh business lunches at lunchtime or the gourmet menu option in the evening.
In this self-proclaimed "Spunte with style", less is more. The kitchen team buys much of its produce directly from the producers, and the from-nose-to-tail principle is a matter of course here. That's why the menu is small, but fine.
The former waterworks, furnished with exquisite furniture, has a special atmosphere, also thanks to the large terrace. Italian food is served: from antipasti to homemade pasta, fish and meat to dolce, there is something for every taste and appetite.
Aroma serves food just like in Rome, "A Roma". Whether it's carbonara - without diced ham and cream, of course -, amatriciana or saltimbocca, it tastes delicious and just like in the Eternal City. There are also some specialities from other regions of the country.
Elegant fish creations meet Mediterranean inspiration and regional classics: the kitchen refines fish in a salt crust, serves creative classics and focusses on sustainable freshness. The historic ambience directly on the Rhine and a wide selection of wines round off the experience.
The Rhyschänzli is an honest place: lots of meat, from meatloaf to cordon bleu. Those who prefer something lighter will find tasty vegetarian alternatives. A Basel favourite that shows how simple good food can be - and is appreciated for precisely that reason.
History meets the vivid at the Zunfthaus der Gewürzhändler in Basel. The cuisine balances tradition and innovation - from the well-known, very good Wiener Schnitzel to seasonally changing menus with wine accompaniment. At Safran, everyone enjoys a special atmosphere.
Life pulsates within the historic walls of this traditional house: The cosy "Schluuch" attracts guests, while the Gartensaal offers fine dining. The large garden invites you to linger, while the seasonal cuisine surprises with a constantly changing menu.
In the historic Volkshaus, renovated by star architects Herzog & de Meuron, classic cuisine with a contemporary touch is served in an elegant ambience. Here, tradition and modernity combine to create an elegant and, above all, delicious whole.
The Alchemist likes to experiment, but the food is cosy and filling. There are flavourful stews and plant-based creations, as well as three vegan dishes for lunch, which can be ordered with animal products.
Bohemia is the perfect meeting place in the city centre. Everyone is welcome here, where classic dishes with a modern twist are served. The centrepiece of the kitchen is the Argentinian-style wood-fired grill, on which meat, fish and vegetables are cooked to perfection.
They love Naples, the Italian restaurateurs at Artigiano in Basel. That's why they bake their Neapolitan pizza fresh in a stone oven according to a secret family recipe. Authentic, light and full of flavour, served in a lively atmosphere in the city centre.
Culinary wanderlust is satisfied at Nomad. Specialities from all corners of the world are served with a modern twist. The inviting, urban atmosphere is another plus, as is the integrated cocktail bar and the sumptuous brunch on Sundays.
Guest room, open kitchen, bar and brewing kettle: everything is housed in one room. Craft beer is combined with creative, seasonal cuisine in a modern ambience. The vegetarian menu is just as impressive as the smashburgers or the selection of tapas to go with the beer.
At Schliessi on the outskirts of Basel, you sit right next to the meadow, surrounded by greenery and a relaxed crowd. Simple dishes, tarte flambée, sandwiches and salad bowls are served. Plus sun, terrace and water - a place that immediately evokes holiday feelings.
