"While eating the deer course of our menu, I bit into something extremely hard. It looked like a very small stone but was too round and the kitchen staff claimed it was a shotgun pellet used to kill the deer. While I almost cracked a tooth and was in pain, our server could barely manage to give an apology (certainly not a sincere one) and we were offered absolutely nothing as a gesture of goodwill in compensation for this. This for the supposed high experience of eating in a one-star restaurant and CHF 500 bill. Incredibly unsympathetic and disappointing. Worse, while not an expert, I find it extremely hard to believe that killing deer with fine birdshot pellets is in any way considered ethical. This surely cannot result in a fast death with minimal suffering to the animal. The restaurant needs to check that their suppliers practice ethical principles or they should be stopped from using them. Switzerland has very high standards for the ethical treatment of animals in different industries and a Michelin starred restaurant must be aware of this and adhere to it. Overall, a decent meal overshadowed by this ugly situation and a very underwhelming, unapologetic response by staff. Disappointed in Basel"

Excellent, very refined cuisine in a peaceful and very pleasant setting (terrace). Extremely warm welcome, server with very good advice. A pure moment of pleasure, an experience of which we will keep a superb memory.

Visited during ArtBasel and it was worth it. Great wine list, amazing food and TOP service. Even went out of the way to accommodate an extra guest that joined us last minute! 100% recommend and will definitely return.

Service was really good. They catered for my fructose intolerance right down to the smallest detail and gave me different options without reservation. The food was very tasty especially the tuna tartate. Highly recommend

The level is far from one star, rather lower middle category. Stuffed French guinea fowl is simply inedible and unimaginative. The eggplant and oregano tart starter sounds better than it tastes. Service is nice but not star level… Unfortunately Michelin no longer gives a reliable rating… View menu

Giving it an easy 5 stars dont even have to think about it much, what impeccable service! The menu is varied, but French heavy, it does have a Michelin star, thats what drew us, but were recommending it because of the elegant environment, amazing service, and the best we ate in Basel all in all.

Kleine, aber sehr feine und abwechslungsreiche Karte, auf der jede(r) etwas findet. Sehr schöne und auserlesene Weinkarte. Gute Qualität, gute Ambiente und freundliche Bedienung. Sehr gutes Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis. Erlebnis im Atelier macht neugierig auf das (leider) geschlossene Gourmet Restaurant Bel Etage (beim nächsten Besuch).

Visited the restaurant back in November (menu has changed since then). Warm and quaint interior. The service was delightful, both waitresses were very eager and helpful. The dishes were tasty, although a bit simplistic, and thus I’m ambivalent about the michelin star. However it is a fine restaurant by swiss standards and the value for money is unbeatable.

We chose this restaurant to celebrate special occasion. We were disappointed as our experience did not match our expectations, that were based on very nice reviews that this restaurant has. Shortly: food was average no creativity that would be expected from Michelin star restaurant, we were served cold red wine and service in general was average. However, house champagne was good and our daughter liked the taste of ravioli mushroom dish. Would not go back there and would not recommend , as for the same price there are much better places to eat in Basel.

Wir waren zu zweit an einem Mittwoch für das Junger Gourmet Angebot dort und hatten einen wundervollen Abend. Nach scheinbar unendlicher Zeit sich wieder verwöhnen zu lassen war schon Freude genug, aber was wir im Bel Etage geniessen durften war einfach meraviglios. Vom Aperitiv über das fantastische Essen mit richtig tollen Weinen, welche deutlich mehr als einfach nur eine Begleitungen waren, hat einfach alles gestimmt. Der Service verliert nie die gekonnte Balance zwischen verspielter Noblesse und entspannter Bodenständigkeit und erleichtert so auch uns jungem Publikum die Freude an Gourmet zu finden ohne die verkrampft-perfektionistischen Elitismen welche man leider zu oft in anderen Loka...

"Cheval Blanc is the ultimate classic French fine dining experience in Switzerland. We came here to celebrate my birthday while in Switzerland looking for a 3 Michelin stars experience. Located in the historical Grand Hotel Les Trois Rios. The riverside setting is charming and romantic. You start by a welcome drink at the terrace looking at the Rhine greeted by suited , polite and professional staff. The head chef Peter Knogl came to say hi before we moved to the main dining room and service started. The decor and interior is classy retro French with high ceilings, arches, classic chandeliers, large windows and round tables with candles. Ambience is warm and intimate. Service was top notch and impeccable. Staff were all knowledgeable with refreshing attention to details. Cuisine was modern french with Mediterranean influences, flavors were complex and dynamic. Ingredients were chosen carefully and courses were presented beautifully. I liked all of my courses, highlights of the menu were the Sardine Macaron, Langoustine curry, Red Mullet filet and the French saddle of lamb with mediterranean flavors. Wine pairing was excellent and enhanced every course taste and flavor. Sommelier was very professional and knowledgeable yet intimidating a bit. The French Cheese selections from Maître Antony in Ferrette was aromatic, rich and satisfying, Maître Antony is one of the best in the world that many Michelin starred Chefs get their fine cheeses selection from. The night ended well with a couple of delightful desserts courses, few delectable bites and some velvety chocolate. Overall, we had an elevated fine dining experience that will bring me back if in Basel again."
