Basel restaurants are a great simile for the city itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Switzerland&#8217;s gastronomic scene is on the rise, and the Swiss&#8217; obsession with organic food is beyond compare. The country&#8217;s proximity with France, Italy and Germany makes it a hub for the best wines and produce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of course, this being Europe, the judges of the Michelin guide have already covered this city, assessed the local restaurants and given out their sought-after stars. But, although the Michelin-starred restaurants are wonderful, they are certainly not the only worthwhile restaurants in Basel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Read more:&nbsp;<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.continentscondiments.com\/24-hours-in-zurich-the-best-places\/\">24 HOURS IN ZURICH: THE BEST PLACES<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">St\u00fccki and Cheval Blanc are restaurants that both boast two Michelin stars and are worth the detour for anyone who has the budget to splurge on such a great meal. For the rest of us, here are a few of the best restaurants in Basel on a more reasonable budget. Gourmet Swiss holidays await you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.airtransat.com\/experiencetransat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/tuna-steak-swiss-plate-restaurant-food-switzerland.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.airtransat.com\/experiencetransat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/tuna-steak-swiss-plate-restaurant-food-switzerland.jpg\" alt=\"Basel Restaurants - Acqua\" class=\"wp-image-2072\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Basel Restaurants &#8211; Acqua<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Basel Restaurants &#8211; Acqua<br>\n<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Binningerstrasse 14, +41 61 564 66 66<br>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over the train tracks and under a bridge, this gem of an Italian restaurant lies hidden in a corner. Its large terrace is a great place to spend an evening. The post-industrial decor is strangely inviting, and the tiny menu\u2013meat, fish or vegetarian, no other choices\u2013makes it simple and straightforward for anyone to order. You&#8217;ll find that the meals are perfectly prepared, and the large comfy chairs lull you into ordering a second <em>digestif<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Dishes to try:<\/strong> a delicious beef tartare that&#8217;s perfectly balanced, subtle and opens up with a sip of good red wine, a first course of homemade ricotta, and a tuna tataki that gives the taste of the fresh fish centre stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.airtransat.com\/experiencetransat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/swiss-restaurant-plate-food-swizterland.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.airtransat.com\/experiencetransat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/swiss-restaurant-plate-food-swizterland.jpg\" alt=\"Basel Restaurants - Rubino: lamb dish\" class=\"wp-image-2075\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Basel Restaurants &#8211; Rubino: lamb dish<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Basel Restaurants &#8211; <\/strong><strong>Rubino<br>\n<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Luftg\u00e4sslein 1, +41 61 333 77 70<br>\n<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rubino-basel.ch\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">rubino-basel.ch<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Situated in a quiet part of Basel&#8217;s old town, Rubino is a restaurant with an austere decor and an elegant approach to food. In a tasting-menu setting, guests are asked about food restrictions (allergies, vegetarianism, etc.) and how many dishes they would like to be served\u2013four, five or six. The kitchen does the rest, and offers wine pairings to go with each.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Dishes to try:<\/strong> a well-presented lamb dish with spring garlic sauce and new potatoes, pan-seared white freshwater fish (<em>felchen)<\/em> with smoked trout caviar and black olive sand, and a rhubarb-ginger terrine with almond sauce that really has the texture of a meat terrine\u2014it&#8217;s surprisingly playful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.airtransat.com\/experiencetransat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/swiss-plate-mozzarella-tomatoes-restaurant-switzerland.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.airtransat.com\/experiencetransat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/swiss-plate-mozzarella-tomatoes-restaurant-switzerland.jpg\" alt=\"Basel Restaurants - Volkshaus: Tomato and buratta salad\" class=\"wp-image-2077\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Basel Restaurants &#8211; Volkshaus: Tomato and buratta salad<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Basel Restaurants &#8211; <\/strong><strong>Volkshaus<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Rebgasse 12-14, +41 61 690 93 10<br>\n<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/volkshaus-basel.ch\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">volkshaus-basel.ch<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Volkshaus is an all-in-one endeavour in the centre of town. A beer garden, restaurant, hotel, art gallery and bar combined, this larger-than-life enterprise is thinking big and has the financial means to achieve its goals. When the sun enters the courtyard during spring and summer, lunch takes on a whole new meaning. Leaning back with a good glass of local cold white wine allows you to take a step back for a moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Dishes to try:<\/strong> their simple but delicious tomato and burrata salad, a hyper-rich and hearty braised veal cheek, red wine demi-glace and Robuchon-style mash, chocolate mousse and gruy\u00e8re-infused cream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.airtransat.com\/experiencetransat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/iceberg-chicory-salad-restaurant-switzerland.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.airtransat.com\/experiencetransat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/iceberg-chicory-salad-restaurant-switzerland.jpg\" alt=\"Basel Restaurants - Atelier - The beef is called \" class=\"wp-image-2081\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Basel Restaurants &#8211; Atelier &#8211; The beef is called<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Basel Restaurants &#8211; <\/strong>Atelier<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Teufelhof Hotel, Leonhardsgraben 49, +41 61 261 10 10<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The three-star Teufelhof hotel in Basel takes its art seriously. Of the hotel&#8217;s two restaurants, Bel \u00c9tage is the better-known because of its Michelin star. However, Atelier is also a good find and maybe a bit less taxing on the wallet. Here, you will find simple, flavourful food in a classy setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Dishes to try:<\/strong> a cool-looking iceberg and chicory salad with the very local &#8220;viande des Grisons&#8221;, a veal chop with a simple but delicious sauce, and an assortment of bite-sized desserts\u2013including ice cream, sorbet and rhubarb preserves\u2013that wakes up the palate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.airtransat.com\/experiencetransat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/asparagus-potaoes-restaurant-switzerland.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.airtransat.com\/experiencetransat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/asparagus-potaoes-restaurant-switzerland.jpg\" alt=\"Basel Restaurants - Safran Zunft\" class=\"wp-image-2083\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Basel Restaurants &#8211; Safran Zunft<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Basel Restaurants &#8211; <\/strong><strong>Safran Zunft<br>\n<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Gerbergasse 11, +41 61 269 94 94<br>\n<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.safran-zunft.ch\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">safran-zunft.ch<\/a><strong><br>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The saffron leaf is everywhere in this historic building. Safran Zunft dates back to 1902, and having a meal there is like taking a step back in time. In fact, the Saffron Guild in the city of Basel has been located in the same building since 1423. Today, this classy restaurant offers lunches and dinners to the employees of the surrounding businesses. The banquet rooms upstairs are huge and decorated with a medieval flair, providing a fairy-tale setting for weddings and receptions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Dishes to try:<\/strong> seasonal white asparagus with saut\u00e9ed potatoes, the hyper-Swiss r\u00f6sti (similar to hash browns) with veal Zurichoise (similar to stroganoff), and a good <em>digestif<\/em> of local kirsch!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Basel is cute as a button\u2013this small town on the borders of Switzerland, France and Germany has one of the highest museum-per-capita rates in the world.
