Great location for business lunch – especially when you sit in the patio, but weak service: Restaurant Enja (16. April 2026)
I have been to the Enja a few times before but this was actually one of the best dishes I’ve tried. The “brisket with jus, spring vegetables” (CHF 38.00) was not only a super decent portion, but the brisket was actually rather enjoyable overall. So, definitely a good meal for a business lunch, but – […]
If you’re into French food in Basel, then this is definitely the right place: Restaurant Brasserie au Violon (14. April 2026)
I was rather curious what to expect when I heard that we had booked this place. So, I wasn’t expecting much and was, hence, positively surprised. I went for the “beef tartare (120gr)” (CHF 29.00) as a starter, which came with … … “pommes alumettes and green salad”, which was, even in the ‘starter version’ […]
When your food is a little charred – as promised: Restaurant Char (9. April 2026)
This place has been on my to do list for quite a while by now. However, somehow I had never managed to pay the place a visit before. That being said, I was somehow persuaded that was some kind of a steak house given it’s name. Turns out, I was quite wrong! Sure, the theme […]
Still the perfect location to play a set of cards: Restaurant Werdguet (8. April 2026)
The Werdguet remains our go-to when it comes to playing cards! That evening, I figured that I felt like something healthy, so, I went for a salad. To be honest, it wasn’t really all that healthy, but the “Caesar Salad (iceberg salad, shaved cheese, bacon cubes)” (CHF 11.00) was at least tasty. There was a […]
A great option for a Vietnam-inspired business lunch: Restaurant Co Chin Chin Brasserie (8. April 2026)
I must admit that I quite like the Co Chin Chin Brasserie as it offers quite tasty dishes in a overall nice atmosphere (although more inside than outside). If you show up before noon, the staff is quite attentive and makes sure you have everything you need. The food is then, subsequently, served quite quickly […]
A decent option for a swift business lunch: Restaurant QQ Sushi Taho (7. April 2026)
It’s a few months ago since I’ve last been here, but I figured they offer quite nice lunch options and are swift, so, it was time to visit the plac again. I went for “Menu 6 (8 California maki, 8 tuna maki, 6 tuna tempura, 2 tuna nigiri)” (CHF 36.00), which was a nice selection […]
No reservations, only walk-ins – but worth the little wait: Restaurant RIKI RAMEN BĀ (23. March 2026)
This place used to be a burger restaurant, but somehow it seems it hadn’t survived, so, now it has turned into a ramen restaurant. So, I was curious what it is like and got here a bit earlier than I had planned, so, I had to wait at the bar until a table was available. […]
A nice pop-up experience in a very traditional location: Freundeskreis ide +Alprausch-Fabrik (19. March 2026)
It’s a while ago since I’ve last been to a Freundeskreis.li event, so, it was about time to give these guys another chance. This time, the location was the +Alprausch factory, which was superb in terms of interior design! You didn’t have a choice, so, you got the “Tasting Menu” (CHF 105.00), which started with […]
