10. Restaurant Hotel Hofmatt

During our recent stay in the Hofmatt Hotel, we had dinner on two evenings in their restaurant. Overall, it was a pleasant experience on both nights. Even when not staying in the hotel, the restaurant is easy to reach and provides plenty parking space, with even more parking opportunities nearby. The atmosphere is okay. On the one hand side, the places were laid out well and the tables had nice, season matching decorations. On the other hand, the room as such could be a bit cosier and some of the tables stand a bit close to each other â which was great for us, since we wanted to have a big table, but makes having an intimate dinner-for-two a matter of getting the right table. Itâs probably owed to the hotels main purpose of accommodating business travellers. The cuisine mostly is not to be faulted. They offer traditional Swiss with Mediterranean influences, with all the mainstream dishes expected on the menu. We appreciated the wide selection in vegetarian offers as well as the flexibility of preparing one of the lunch-time dishes for dinner without hesitation. The salads were fresh, the main courses mostly excellent and the desserts fine. What ruins the excellent rating was the first main course that I had â for my taste there was just not enough sauce on my tagliatelle. They still tasted good, so I did not complain, and all other food we had left nothing to desire. So a âvery goodâ is well deserved here. For drink they offer a decent selection in wine, and to our joy we found a wonderful Amarone at a very fair price. Also, the Prosecco offered was good.Lastly, the service was friendly and attentive. Nothing to complain here. Overall, the Hotel Hofmatt Restaurant delivers what it promises, and is also worth a visit when not staying at the hotel, but in the area. We will certainly continue to dine there when in the hotel.

Absolutely fabulous place for value and for nice delicious food.Had a conference in Basel and invited for a dinner at this place. The restaurant is located in a residential area and is a Swiss Cottage style with indoor capacity of 30seaters and outdoor seating of about 20 sites at the side of the 2 storey cottage.We sat at the outdoor dining.We were exhausted and had a Swiss beer when we arrived.The food was delicious..I had a white asparagus with ham by the side. The ham was lovely smoked and fresh. The white asparagus was so crunchy yet it was softly cooked with side dip of Hollandaise sauce with cheese. The dip was beautifully prepared with flowing taste of hollandaise and cheese overflowing the asparagus. Absolutely heavenly.For the main course I chose the Cordon bleu - pork wrapped in ham, bacon and beautifully seasoned and fried with bread crumbs, served with boiled asparagus and cauliflower. The dish was very tasty, not dry and sumptuous. It was surprisingly soft for the pork and fried very crispy and well on the outside. The dish was accompanied by stick fries. I would have felt it better if a sauce was also offered.For dessert, I chose the house special creme brûlée. This was served literally in âflamesâand accompanied by a scoop of vanilla iced cream. The creme brûlée was nicely textured and had a deep long taste of soft custard.From my colleagues, it was overall a very very good meal with Swiss flavour.Hope to be back if I can find my way..

7. Ufer7 Basel

I live in New York City and letâs just start by saying Iâm a food snob. I hate playing high prices for a poor meal. I had such hopes for Ufer7. It got great reviews on this site. Ufer7 sits right on the Rhine River in Basel. We arrived at 7:30 pm on a Friday night. The terrace was hopping. The inside of the space is stucco with wood tables and bare decorative bulbs. I little jarring for my taste. The menu lists multiple small items to share on a platter. We choose two to start with. Falafel and a mushroom soup option. The menu was in Swiss German so it was a little tricky. The top of the menu says food should be pleasing to the eye then the tongue. The food looked great but it all tasted like sandpaper. The falafel was dry and tasteless and I could not discern a mushroom taste in the soup. We shared a fresh fish plate which was composed of shrimp with the heads on, red rice, bok choy and salmon. All very boring. The meal was followed by two slices of carrot cake that I could swear came out of the freeze. You know that sort of wet dense freezer burn taste. Either way I took one bite and decided it was not worth the calories! What were the good points? The staff, they were lovely and helpful. I was a little surprised when the bill came to 142 Franks for 2 glasses of wine, 2 appetizers a dessert and a tea. Not way out for Swiss restaurants but when I gave the waitress 150 F she just walked away with the change. As an American I would have tipped but assuming you should just take a tip is a little off putting. Iâm hoping the chef was sick that night and they will be on their game in the future otherwise definitely not worth it except for drinks on the terrace.

I have been going to 1777 since 2015, i have been with friends, family or alone, and after all these years i have decided to finally write a review.This is a place which is in a beautiful stunning courtyard, in the midst of basel, one can come here for lunches, for an apero or just for a coffee and cake!the selection they have is wonderful and clear, from salads and sandwiches ( which you can modify as you wish ) to burgers and pastrami-sandwiches to these apero âplättliâ with meats and cheeses, to a glass of wine.the service is excellent, kind and attentive & i do really enjoy coming here as the atmosphere and ambience is extremely enjoyable.i do recommend this gem to anyone who is looking for fresh, very well priced but âfast-comingâ food. And of course if you would want to, very healthy, salads or such(but the burger is extremely good though...).thanks to all the people who have made all these stays/food-experiences great!

On our way to the airport we paid Vicino a visit to have diner. The service was good and friendly, and the dish we ordered (we both had the Vicino's Burger) arrived rather quickly. Unfortunately the beef was just too rare for our taste (the waiter did not ask our preference during ordering), but as we had a plane to catch, we didn't had the time to have it reheated on the grill. Also the Gruyère cheese wasn't my cup of tea, so overall it was a slightly disappointing experience. On the other hand our waiter wanted to be helpful, and offered us a free espresso afterwards (which we had to refuse due to our tight travelling schedule). Therefore I would give Vicino another chance (without Gruyère) next time.

Food is good - large portions of hearty family-style food. Well cooked and very traditionally Swiss. The owner is very charming and the wait staff mostly so. They have Very cosy traditional surroundings and are family friendly with a kids menu and even have a change mat for babies upstairs.The restaurant is popular so bookings are recommended. It is also possible to visit just for a drink, and if they are very busy, there is a central table that seems reserved for those just drinking. Many staff speak English and those who don't get by well anyway. There is an outside terrasse in summer which is lovely. We visit Rebstock regularly.

We went to this trendy restaurant..because we follow the comments...even if the restaurant is not in the center. It offers all for a talented..and this cook definitely is, to be THE place for all the rather also trendy ,young with a bit of money people. - You cross the street and enter passing all the costy bikes and the beautiful garden..and enter in a dark restaurant where you are seated hopefully next to another group of successful people enjoying loudly. We were lucky to be so far away but this had the opposite effect that they forget you. Waitresses are nice..very informal..they talk to the people they seem to know...but they are SLOW..inefficient and to WAIT (it is an expensive place) for bread..20 minutes..for the dish (excellent fish BUT NOTHING WITH IT)..another 20 minutes..and another 20 for the smallest dessert we have ever eaten! My partner got a stiff neck from turning to the waiter to get the bill. But we could see that the locals...liked it..and they seem to have all eaten before because we left hungry but the bill was as quite expensive for what you get.To summ up:This owner responds to a specific client who would not go a normal restaurant...The plates are hand made...the fish comes from a happy fish and so does the meat come from a happy animal. the wine comes from hand picked owners..and you feel so good!but if you search for a place after a hard day and want to EAT and feel welcome..you might be disappointed.

Restaurant in Freidorf that is a pleasant location to have a glass of wine after a hectic day. Ambiance is nice and quiet. Service is a little inconsistent because staff is preparing for dinner and their is a shift change around 17:00, but that does not take away from from a restful place to unwind.

There are many good restaurants in the Basel area, but this was the best one I visited during my week-long stay. The Wirtshaus zum Schlüssel is a lovely place to dine in Muttenz, on the outskirts of Basel. The food was amazing and the staff was super friendly and helpful. The atmosphere was comfortable and inviting. Every dish was prepared just right with the utmost care from high quality ingredients. The prices are very reasonable. We had the fake/false snails (falschi Schnägge ... actually beef cubes baked with herb butter) on recommendation of the house and we were NOT disappointed! The Wienerschnitzel also looked delicious. My colleague said he was going to go home and dream about the food, it was so good. If you're staying at Hotel Baslertor, it's a ~10 minute stroll down a nice street in Muttenz. Give the Schlüssel a try. You won't regret it!
