The 10 best business restaurants in Basel
Every gourmet should be familiar with legendary chef Tanja Grandits' colourful, aromatic cuisine. A visit to her restaurant is good for the soul - sophisticated yet not complicated dishes, attentive service and an elegant ambience make for the perfect fine dining 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 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 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.
In the time-honoured Hasenburg on Schneidergässlein, classic meat dishes take centre stage: the sausage trilogy with rösti, the sour veal liver or the magnificent Hohrückensteak from the Freilandsäuli. In the parlour or beer garden, local wines accompany the hearty cuisine.
This rustic pub is located right next to the main university building and is popular with professors and students. It offers classic French-Swiss cuisine at reasonable prices, including the house speciality Entrecôte Café de Paris.
Asian food culture is combined with European influences here. The large sushi bar is the centrepiece of the dining room. Delicacies from the small but fine à la carte menu are served on the roof terrace. Sophisticated cocktails with Far Eastern flair.
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.
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.
