Really love the concept of this area. You have different food vendors ranging from Mexican, Nepali, to Thai and so much more. You order from your preferred vendor and then get to sit in the large sitting area in the middle. I have gone to the Nepali and Thai restaurant and would definitely return it was absolutely delicious and pretty big portions! Great for big groups read more

Klara - Deck (Bug a Thai) - Food Court Near Me - Basel, BS

Gather around all you poor decision makers; put off the dinner selection a few minutes longer. Keep in mind you'll pay for that decision with an even tougher decision among NINE restaurants and a BAR. Why am I yelling. At least you'll have your next nine nights covered. Or nine if bar night isn't every night. Now the only choice is where to start. Tonight for us it was Vietnam. Portions are large enough to share or be very full. Then stop by the bar. The duck at bug a thai is amazing, if you don't get one of the curries, where you can't go wrong. Most popular at afroliciois is the Mixed Menu where you can eat around Africa to avoid a decision there. Yes we're returning eight more times, at least. read more

Klara - Nón lá Vietnamese Kitchen - Food Court Near Me - Basel, BS

The food court was a welcome surprise. We tried some nachos, samosas, and some micro brews. It seems like a great meeting spot with a social atmosphere and plenty of options for all different tastes. Both dishes were very good. read more

Fun place to hang out with friends or work colleagues. Many food choices so it's nice if everyone is in the mood for something different. Also nice choice of beers from the bar. read more

Super fun and happening "food hall" that is open late. Midnight on weekdays and 'till 1am on friday and weekends. Most of the food stalls seem to close a couple hours earlier. There is a large bar and lots of self seating in the bustling Clara neighborhood. They have all kinds of food stalls and craft beers, wines etc. and a full cocktail bar. Young, hip, artsy/professional and cute crowd. I tried the Bug A Thai yellow curry which was great. The steaks at La Manufacture look delicious too. They even have authentic tacos. There's a pinball machine in the corner. Nice buzz here, cool crowd and great music. read more

Open late and usually noisy; easy to sample different cuisines from casual food stalls in Klara. Dumplings are a favorite, as is Thai soups. Wine and beer served at central bar. read more

A must visit in Basel! Street food in a food court. Great variety of cuisine from around the world. This place just recently opened a few months ago. The offering ranges from Japanese, Thai, Mexican, Argentinian to Indian. If you are in to soups or juicy burgers you then can also try these. My personal favorite was the grasshopper starter, bugs for the first time but delicious! This place is great for larger groups and after work. Enjoy! read more

What a great concept - and upscale food court if you will. I've sampled the BBQ and the Argentinian Place. Both very good. I actually heard a couple talking up the BBQ joint while I was on a train to Lucerne. They were also raving about the taco stand. These's also a coffee bar in the middle of the space that also sells soft drinks and beer. There is both indoor and outdoor seating. It's a great place to go with a group, particularly if people have varying tastes. The most unique stand I saw was serving curried insects. Nobody was brave enough to order anything from that stand. But if I'm back in Zurich anytime soon, I might try it out. read more

Delicious vegetarian burrito from the Mexican storefront at the back of Klara! Well priced by Swiss standards and lovely atmosphere. An absolute must! read more

Klara - Food Court Near Me - Basel, BS

Good mix of cuisines including a few vegan options (Ethiopian, dumplings, burritos, etc). Decent draft beer selection too.

I am going to remove one start for every point I make. Yet, number five is enough to leave a bad review in any platform for any restaurant. 1. One Negroni please.I asked a negroni once expecting the eternal equal parts of Gin, Rosso Vermout and Campari. I received a glass with gin, one cube of ice (in summer) and a house blend from a bottle with a handwritten sticker. I asked the bartender: Hey this doesn't taste like a Negroni, can you make me on classic Negroni? Bartender answer: We have a home made mix we prefer to use to do that drink. I wonder how the owners of the place would feel if they go to a pizzeria for a pizza and get Rosti instead. I imagine the answer from the waitress in that imaginary pizzeria: "That's our new house pizza (pointing the rosti)" - tarantella in the background 2. Restaurant or Food Court? This is how Klara etiquette goes. You order your food directly at the kitchen. Most of the times you don't get a locator. If you don't like a drink from the kitchen you have to make a second line in the bar. Then, you wait for your drink and go to pick up your food. Amusingly most of the times a person scream your name a few times after waiting for 10-20 min. If you are with friends that order from a different kitchen, you will notice that is at best a bit awkward the waiting time. Once you get your food, you walk to your table and eat. There is more. You have to take your dishes and utensils to a basket (usually full), and drop very carefully the dishes and glasses in a not very hygienic set up. Remember your table have to be clean and nice for the next guest after you. What a great experience!.I still wonder, is Klara a restaurant or food court? As a matter of fact, I know I am paying restaurant prices. And I know the etiquette is for a food court. Genius business idea! 3. Bathroom. Simple and plain commentary. Please clean it. My wife and daughter doubt to go there. I can count at least 7 times that I have been in that bathroom. 0 times the bathroom was in decent shape. I always find very clever strategies to don't touch anything with my hands on the way out of the bathroom. I am proud of myself. 4. Opening times. First, I got there with family on a Monday at 18Hrs10 (Kitchens are supposedly open at 18Hrs00). Get to a restaurant and tell us: could you please wait 10 min? We are not open yet. I saw the other kitchens with clients, and similar scenes were going on. Second, I arrive a Sat at 12Hrs30 with family and friends. Only two kitchens were opened. Morale? Don't get too early or don't go with high hopes to get something specific. Be like the water. 5. Manager (on Nov 18, 2019 since 18Hrs00 to 18Hrs30) people's skills. My wife and I pick up some nuggets for our 4 year old, and go to Klara to get burgers. We are waiting until the kitchen we want food from is open. My wife and daughter need to go to the bathroom but hesitate. They go to the bathroom and I wait. You know: being like the water. I look for a table. Wife and daughter come to the table. Their hands well washed. I order the food. The waiting time is on (15-20 min according to the Kitchen). Meanwhile, I am chilling with my family. They don't sell negronis anyways. A person from Klara comes to us and explain that Klara is a restaurant and we cannot bring other restaurant's food. We argue we order food and are waiting for it. The person from Klara gets very flustered and say she can take away our daughter food and trash it away or we hide it. Our daughter starts crying. She has no idea what is happening. I ask for the manager to be called. Turns out this person was the manager. And this manager at Klara keeps on her rampage: Trash her food; hide it; our restaurant's rules does not allow any type of outside food. The manager notice that my wife has a bottle of water with her. The manager gets even more mad: You cannot bring water to the restaurant, this is not a picnic area. This is getting out of hands. Daughter keeps crying. I raise my voice and tell her I want to talk to her boss. That person is not there. I ask her for her boss email address and phone number. Tell her we will leave as soon as we get our food. Our priority was to calm down our daughter. She wasn't having a great experience and the manager never got it. We are not against Klara rules against bringing foods from other restaurants. We simply didn't know. This place feels like a food court, functions like a food court, so it was difficult to guess this is a restaurant. If we would have guessed Klara is a restaurant we would have not brought food from another place. And the food issue not even the problem. The problem here is how impolite, untasteful, and rude was the manager in front of a 4.5 years old girl that wanted to finish her dinner and chill with her family. Disgraceful and a total lack of empathy towards a child she made cry. read more
