• EintrachtBib There has been a restaurant here since 1870, and the current owners, the dedicated Meier family, have retained the restaurant's traditional feel while also introducing contemporary influences. This is reflected in the flavoursome cuisine, which keeps many regulars coming back. Diners can choose a fine dining set menu of three to five courses – for example, Swiss Alpine salmon from Lostallo with fregola sarda and champagne-saffron sauce – or order à la carte, from classics such as veal cordon bleu to Indian curry with paneer, vegetables and jasmine rice.

• Château Attisholz - Le feu★ Michelin This is a rather grand establishment located just outside Riedholz. A truly splendid historical property houses the exquisitely elegant and tastefully designed fine dining restaurant Le feu, with the garden and courtyard outside being a draw in themselves. Chef-patron Jörg Slaschek proposes a sophisticated modern-classical set menu, but there is also an à la carte selection. It goes without saying that the Bavarian-born chef uses only select produce. A well-curated selection of European wines makes for the perfect accompaniment to your meal. Overnight accommodation is also available: There are10.1km

The wine list comprises some 150 moderately priced labels and includes a decent selection of half bottles. The fantastic wine bar is ideal for a nightcap. Smal13.6km

• Traube★ Michelin Since chef-patron Arno Sgier took over the reins in 1993, this restaurant in the little town of Trimbach has developed into a real culinary gem. Traube is a lovely place to be, with its chic and modern interior done out with premium furnishings, and its well-trained front-of-house team attending to your every need. Then there is Arno Sgier's technically ambitious cuisine. His classic yet really modern style is evident in, for example, the delicately acidic Lostallo salmon marinated in buttermilk and chive oil, served with textures of cucumber and quinoa crisps. The classics, too, are given a m18.4km
