Food in Basel is an art form, and the city's finest restaurants showcase this artistry in every dish they serve. These eateries specialize in local cuisine, featuring a rich variety of meats, game, fish, cheese, sausages, cured meats, liver, and vegetables.
Basel's restaurants receive some of the highest reviews in all of Switzerland. They tempt your taste buds with delightful dishes such as Basel flour chowder, festive onion pie, and, of course, fondue—a delectable blend of various cheeses, wine, and garlic. Each establishment boasts its unique fondue recipe, allowing you to savor your favorite.
Switzerland's cheese holds a special place in the hearts of Basel's residents. In these restaurants, you can savor Swiss classics like Emmental, Gruyère, and Appenzell cheeses, as well as "Wescheren" cheese.
If you have a sweet tooth, don't miss the renowned Basel Brunsli—a flourless chocolate almond cookie crafted from a nut paste. Equally delightful is the Basel gingerbread, a firm biscuit infused with honey, almonds, and candied fruit.
Local restaurants also offer an extensive selection of Swiss wines to complement your dining experience.
