"We are fairly frequent visitors to Basel in order to visit our daughter, who has lived and worked in this lovely city for about 6 years. After a long delay due to COVID, we have returned this week to celebrate her 30th birthday. We always...stay at the Les Troia Rois, which is always top flight, and is again. We also always have at least one dinner meal each visit at Cheval Blanc and the magic of Peter Knogl. We had a magnificent dinner for four last night, topped by the saddle of venison (mousse line of celery and sauce rouennaise), sea bass with chorizo and cucumber, and lagoustine and in a light curry and green apple sauce with paired wines. It was a fabulous celebration of our daughter’s birthday and Peter Knogl’s “greatest joy [in] pampering our guests with a cuisine full of color, shape and sunshine.” Such an incredible four hour extravaganza is not cheap, but one doesn’t often find restaurants with 3 Michelin stars and 19 GaultMillau points that are not worth the cost. Cheval Blanc is a relatively small restaurant but gorgeous in decor and a priceless Rhine River view. The service is spectacular, good humored, but serious in its quest for excellence and guest comfort and information. A special ending is a humidor of choice, and immensely fine Swiss chocolates."

"I held a small event (20 people) at L’Atelier Basel. Ms. Kleiber responded to all of my requests and the whole organization ran smoothly. I would like to thank Moana Kleiber and her team again for the great service. The restaurant is very nice and tastefully decorated. We were able to enjoy the event in the lower area in a cozy atmosphere. The poke bowls were super tasty, there was something to suit every taste. A top price-performance ratio. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We'd love to come back!"

"I went to this restaurant like I go to a museum with the interest of discovering a foreign world. It's the world of my childhood which I'm glad burned. The large room is paneled with dark wood, there are geraniums on the terrace, and Aromat and liquid seasoning (not Maggi) are on the table as always. The vegetable rösti was good, although the portion was far too small. Whether frozen vegetables really have to be used in such museum style restaurants probably so. It doesn't matter, the hash browns and vegetables were tasty. The open beer was fresh and also tasted very good. A real ray of hope in this post war wasteland was the waiter, who although he spoke perfect Basel German and had a typically Swiss friendliness was recognizable as a secondo. The price was lower midrange and okay for once. The toilets worked."

"Ordered via Uber, delivery would have been between 5.55pm and 6.15pm, I called the restaurant at 6.30pm. They informed me that uber would be responsible for the delivery. At 6:40 p.m. I contacted uber, who in turn contacted the restaurant with feedback that the delivery had been canceled. Horrible service! Never again!"

"Das Essen ist sehr gut, kein Zweifel, aber...Ambiente ist veraltet und kalt.Untypisch wird kein Pizzateigbrot weder zu den Oliven, noch zu einem andern Zeitpunkt serviert.Zu keinem Zeitpunkt wird zur Pizza und zu den Penne Pfeffermühle und/oder scharfes Öl serviert oder angeboten.Kellner sind nicht wirklich aufmerksam.Das schlimmste ist aber, dass die Kleider nach dem Besuch regelrecht nach Essen stinken.Eigentlich schade, denn das Essen ist wie schon erwähnt sehr gut. Aber alle anderen Punkte lassen das Restaurant in die untere Mittelmässigkeit fallen..."
