The 10 best guesthouses in Basel
Cooking according to the from-nose-to-tail principle: not only fillet is served here, but also less noble cuts - especially display from our own hunt, which is served in autumn. Despite all the love for meat, vegetarians are also catered for.
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.
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.
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.
Beautiful restaurant on the banks of the Rhine with uncomplicated and tasty dishes made largely from local ingredients. Fish often finds its way onto the menu, which makes sense given the location. If you like, you can try a variety of appetisers with friends.
Dine in the tower of the former Warteck brewery with industrial charm. Creative cuisine meets vegan variety - cauliflower steak, tamari aubergine or Don's Burger show how enjoyable sustainability tastes. The highlight: the summer terrace with a view of the Rhine.
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.
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.
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.
