The Best Restaurants in 4053 Basel
On Friday and Saturday, only the surprise menu is served in this lively neighbourhood restaurant. The menu in the Viertel-Kreis is deliberately kept small in order to concentrate on ingredients sourced from regional farmers and producers.
Izakayas are a type of gastropub where food and drinks are shared and enjoyed in a convivial atmosphere. Extremely popular in Japan, Toru Fischbach has brought his own Izakaya to the Gundeli district and offers delicious Japanese dishes.
Dani Jenzer and his giant cordon bleu have made a name for themselves beyond the Gundeli district. In addition to gluten-free dishes, Wanderruh also has Eastern European specialties on the menu, including a Bohemian potato soup or pancakes.
FuTo Chinese restaurant offers a cross-section of Chinese cuisine and specialities such as steamed dim sum, baked wan tan or homemade soups. Also recommended is the crispy baked Peking duck, prepared by the chef upon advance order.
Mum's Kitchen specialises in Vietnamese street food, which is always cooked fresh from high quality ingredients. The visit is especially worthwhile for the various fine noodle dishes and soups that are served in the evening.
Pizzeria Vito in Gundeli serves generous pieces of crispy pizza al taglio at a sympathetic price. Those who wish can put together their own toppings. The uncomplicated concept is extremely successful: there are now five Vito branches.
Wasabi behind the SBB train station is "only" a take-away, but it offers one of the best Japanese cuisines in the city. Here you can get bento boxes and sushi to go from Monday to Friday. The menus can be pre-ordered by phone.
Butterfly Restaurant works with meat from the local butcher. You can tell; the quality of the Turkish grilled specialities is above average. The bread is also handmade and some of the best kebabs in town are served here.
