DINING.
Basel whets the appetite with a host of delicious cuisines. Its cosmopolitan
outlook and close relations with the neighbouring areas
of Alsace in France and Baden in Germany are undoubtedly among
the main reasons why the city in the tri-border region is able to
please even the most discerning palate. Living as they do at the
meeting point of three countries, the people of Basel have a great
deal of savoir-vivre. Good food and drink are as important to them as
are art and culture. Basel is the centre of a region with a unique concentration
of first-class restaurants and is no longer an insider’s tip
for gourmets. The Cheval Blanc restaurant by Peter Knogl, for example,
is one of only two restaurants in Switzerland to be awarded
three Michelin stars.
In Basel you can treat yourself to delicious sweets and pastries in old
established cafés and equally enjoy tasty tapas in fashionable bars.
In summer, you can dine al fresco in one of Basel’s many boulevard
cafés and garden restaurants. And traditional hospitality abounds:
whether in historical inns or guild halls, beer halls or wine taverns,
you will see that enjoyment is a high priority everywhere in Basel.
