The Best Restaurants in 4051 Basel
Head chef Michael Baader has been cooking at the highest level for years. His cuisine is based on French gastronomic art and flavours from all over the world. It has a touch of fusion, but you can still recognise its classic roots. Great wine list with 450 items.
The former Basel remand centre is now an elegant venue. French cuisine is served, refined classics are perfectly executed and the kitchen team respects traditions, but is not afraid to add a modern touch here and there.
The Atelier does not offer a gastronomic experience, but excellent cuisine based on solid craftsmanship and good regional produce. You eat in a modern and uncomplicated ambience, characterised by a lively atmosphere. Fantastic wine list.
Puro is located on the first floor of the Mövenpick Hotel. The cuisine combines South America and Asia and is often cooked with products from the region. Ceviche, sushi and meat from the robata grill come as individualistic plates or to share. Pleasant atmosphere and attentive service.
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.
At Rubino you can taste the region: fresh, sustainable, seasonal. A new menu (two to five courses) surprises every day - whether meat, fish or vegetarian. Everything is fresh from the farm, prepared with love. Cuisine that tastes good and does you good. Plus a lovingly curated wine list.
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.
Whether before a concert or just for fun, dinner at Atlantis is always worthwhile. The restaurant on Klosterberg not only attracts diners with its special ambience, but also with its varied menu. The cuisine combines local products with exotic flavours.
The Kunsthalle in Basel is much more than just an exhibition space and offers sophisticated brasserie cuisine as well as a relaxed atmosphere in the "Schluuch". The Campari bar and, in winter, the fondue parlour add further facets. This is where "tout Bâle" eats and meets.
Behind the Spalentor, Zum Tell entices guests with honest pub cuisine. Hearty classics such as capuns or stews are served, as well as display in autumn. Simple rooms with lots of wood create the setting for a piece of Basel that you won't want to miss.
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.
The Schnabel is a Basel institution. People meet here in historic parlours to enjoy honest cuisine that has endured for decades. The "Falsche Schnägge" carnival parties are legendary, but even on normal days the restaurant is full of convivial charm.
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.
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 name was born out of sarcasm: when beer was first served outside breweries around 1900, it was called "poisonous". Hence the ironic change of name. Many Cordon-bleu varieties, including gluten-free - they are a member of the "IG Zöliakie".
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.
For countless Basel locals, this is not just a restaurant, but above all an opportunity to escape the wanderlust. It has been recognised for its hospitality, the view is legendary and the cuisine is consistently Italian. Many swear by the risotto and paccheri.
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.
