Cheval Blanc by Peter Knogl

Classic French · ★★★ Michelin

€€€€

The name Peter Knogl goes hand in hand with French haute cuisine, which he produces here in the flagship restaurant of the over-300-year-old Grand Hotel Les Trois Rois. His cooking takes the form of extremely harmonious, mature and skilfully reduced creations that showcase his very own signature style. Well-defined flavours, subtle contrasts, perfect craftsmanship, no compromising on the quality of his ingredients… A case in point is the fantastic wild sea bass covered with finely spiced, crispy fried chorizo brunoise, served on a bed of subtly sweet julienned cucumber and accompanied by an el

€€€

If you're not careful, you might end up walking right past the narrow façade of this mid-terrace restaurant. This charming, lively little establishment is right at home here in Basel's St Johanns-Vorstadt district. Both the slick interior and chef-patron Matthieu Judenne's seasonally inspired cuisine are modern, but for all their creativity they remain pleasingly accessible and ingredient-driven. The focus is undisputedly on flavour – soul food rather than frills is the order of the day here. This ethos is evident in dishes such as "poached egg, pea tartare, tarragon foam" and "octopus, Kalama

Mediterranean Cuisine, Modern Cuisine · ★ Michelin

€€€€

Housed in a lovingly restored and converted printing house that dates back centuries, this chic and tastefully designed restaurant is run with dedication by Eveline and Roland Tischhauser. Duc Tan Arrigoni now calls the shots in the kitchen, and you can look forward to sampling the Italian-born chef's take on the restaurant's modern, Mediterranean cuisine concept. The set menu is accompanied by wine pairings from an extensive selection that includes an impressive choice of champagnes. The stylish bar area is perfect for an aperitif or nightcap. There is also a pretty terrace in the courtyard.

This restaurant presents a compelling concept in a stylish setting near Basel Zoo. A personal, handwritten welcome at the table sets the tone for the cuisine of Pascal Steffen and his team, which combines classical foundations with modern creativity. The surprise menu spans seven to 10 courses – only the ingredients are disclosed in advance, and these are of exceptional quality, with an emphasis on regional sourcing. The dishes are plant-forward, but fish and meat also feature. Their signature "Gemüse Garten" showcases over 30 varieties of vegetables prepared using a range of techniques to cre

This place exudes brasserie appeal thanks to its charming, stylish atmosphere and unfussy, honest seasonal menu, which also includes classic dishes. Despite its proximity to the centre, the location is pleasantly quiet – outside, an attractive terrace with shady trees beckons. There are well-kept guestrooms for overnight stays. Tip: Take the opportunity to visit Basel Historical Museum opposite.

The name "Stucki" is a tribute to Tanja Grandits's legendary predecessor, Hans Stucki. The chic ambience that prevails in this historical villa is matched by the stylish service.

What was once a traditional Swiss pub is now a relaxed, urban restaurant serving vegetarian cuisine with a focus on plates for sharing. In the evening, the "Kleines Menü" comprises 12 dishes in five courses and a "Grosses Menü" made up of 15 dishes organised into seven courses – ideal for sharing! Superb dishes such as the "beetroot variation with red cabbage and miso" or "pulled mushroom, spring onions and sweet potato" ensure that even non-vegetarians won't miss meat or fish. At lunchtime, the restaurant serves a condensed version of the evening menu, dubbed "Dinner for Lunch", alongside the

€€€

This pretty restaurant in the red-light district has a rather original concept that is popular with diners: in an open kitchen, the chefs conjure up ambitious appetiser-sized dishes that draw inspiration from modern culinary trends – three are recommended, then maybe a dessert to round things off. Great bar.
