The Best Restaurants in 4057 Basel
Lots of wood, little noise, no meat. At Lauch, the cooking is plant-based, but without dogma - sometimes fermented, sometimes fried, sometimes raw. The ingredients are sourced locally, of course, and the glass is sometimes filled with naturally cloudy beer. If you like things calm, thoughtful and different, this is the place for you.
In the centre of Kleinbasel, Chanthaburi has been tempting diners with authentic Thai cuisine for 18 years. In the conservatory, at the long ash wood table or in the enchanted courtyard under chestnut trees, flavours unfold like little fairy tales - savoury, colourful and full of joie de vivre.
Hip, relaxed and completely meat-free: at Concordia, sharing plates full of precisely interpreted vegetable dishes take centre stage, such as gyoza, kohlrabi noodles or miso asparagus. Kombucha and hand-picked wines are served with a lot of heart and expertise.
Regionality is the top priority at the Goldener Fass: only Swiss products are used in the cooking. The small menu is therefore regularly adapted and a multi-course menu is always on offer. In addition, there are always a few classics - such as the succulent meatballs.
Gatto Nero serves Italian classics, freshly cooked and without frills. A small menu with pasta, antipasti and desserts, accompanied by good wines. Outside on the terrace, you can relax and watch the colourful hustle and bustle of the Matthäus quarter.
Art, culture and cuisine come together in the renovated barracks area of Klein-Basel: Parterre One is more than just a restaurant - it's a stage and a bar. The food is fresh and international, without chichi. The terrace fills up quickly, especially before concerts and readings.
In the harbour area, Der Rostige Anker scores with fresh, regional market cuisine. The menu varies daily. Four main courses are available in the evening: veggie, pasta, meat and fish. Flexibility meets quality. A delicious brunch is also served here on Sundays.
At Sahara in Basel, North African flavour meets Basel serenity. Tajines simmer slowly, couscous is served fluffy, accompanied by homemade pastilla. A lively restaurant that smells of spices and quickly becomes a favourite place for groups.
Diners at La Perla are served Neapolitan-style pizza - with long dough, an airy crust and the best mozzarella. The restaurant looks simple, but the quality is no coincidence. There is also a surprisingly well-stocked wine list with a focus on Belpaese.
