Perfect for a weekend walk and then to sit outside during the summer and enjoy the best food, wine and desserts. The host is not easy to read but actually very friendly once she realizes that you might be back. She works super hard and sometimes feels like is running the entire place by herself. She is amazing so give her some time to warm up. Do not judge her in the first interaction.

But the rest I do absolutely love and recommend. Food was well cooked and the presentation was fabulous. The chef was very nice and always had a smile on his face.

Sight, sound, taste, smell, everything is synchronized like a song the minute you walk in. Servers were friendly and knowledgeable, and they tried their best to speak English so we could understand. We sat out by the Rhine river before we were seated. It was very calming. Then we were bought to the dining room where they only have one seating per night. We had a 12 course tasting menu and my husband had the wine pairing as well. I will let the picture speak for themselves. Food was the best I've ever had and I love the combination of spices and textures used. Every bite is a burst of flavor, but not too overwhelming. If you only have one chance to taste a 3 star Michelin restaurant - this is it!!! Don't bother going anywhere else because you will be disappointed. The final Bill came to 748 euros.

I know, I know - only four stars forms the star Michelin restaurant? Yes, only three. The decor is…read moresumptuous, and every part of the meal is choreographed, and the dinner is an experience to remember. The menu changes with the season, and the wine list is HUGE! We asked for guidance from the sommelier, but it was very disappointing to not have a curated wine menu for the full dining experience. Wine is an essential part of dine dining, and the restaurant misses the mark by not filling the good. We had the best oyster of our lives, and one of the amuse bouche dishes was repeated (I was not sad about this). Bread is offered liberally -- take it! That will be the most filling part of your meal. Note the frequent refills of water at $11/bottle. All of the dishes were sensational and complex, and if you are a seeker of Michelin star restaurants, then this is a do not miss based on many factors, including the hotel being a place where Napoleon visited. Just know that you will not be gorging yourself on this meal.

The €18 lunch special (entrèe/plat/dessert) is great deal and a respite for quality from the overpriced (and underwhelming) Basel restaurants .

The food is fairly French traditional, but has touches of innovation, uses local (Alsatian) produce and as a result is very fresh and of high quality. Easily among the best French restaurants in the Basel Metropolitan area, it appears to be a fairly well kept secret; in our opinion unjustifiably so. We will visit again soon and enjoy their seasonal cooking. Be aware that the restaurant is not open for business over the weekend, perhaps one of the reasons for its relative unknown status.
