Stopped in for a quick bite. The wine was good and the steak tartar was one of the best I've ever had. Wish we were hungrier and could have ordered more. Would go back here in a heartbeat. Service was a little slow but we enjoyed it. read more

See all

Literally the worst old fashioned I've ever had. Cool vibe, terrible drinks - don't let the cool bar fool you.....

Happened upon this great restaurant visiting Basel. The inside is warm and inviting. Waitress was very friendly and helpful. Two of us ordered Satay chicken, one meatball and one shrimp red curry. All were WONDERFUL. I had the chicken Satay and was surprised by the taste and amount provided. You will not leave hungry. read more

I don't know what is the fuss about this restaurant. It's recommended in the Fodor's guide, but I went there one evening hoping to have a good meal and I was disappointed. Be warned that it appears there is a better menu, but at night (8:30) they only have a taps menu very limited. Some of the items are good but pricey. I ordered a salad moth Mozzarella se Buffala and the first time it was good. When I ordered it again, instead of a large single ball, I got 4 mini balls. Besides being way less for the price, the gambit was not the same. I think they run out of the big one, but why they don't tell me? Maybe cocktails are good, but don't come here for food. And the view is no so great. read more

We had dinner here last nite and my husband wants to go back tonight. Wish I taken a picture of the beautiful steak platter we had. Roasted vegetables on one end and roasted quartered potatoes in the other side. In the center a grilled steak over a bed of arugula with shaved Parmesan cheese and balsamic. The steak was thinly sliced and I'm not sure of the cut. But it was tender and delicious. The waiter recommended a Med bodied wine which was perfect for the dish. Neither of us left a crumb on the plate delicious. read more

This Bar is right next to the Jewish museum so we went in for a drink before going home. This is a popular bar and restaurant in Basel. I had a Coffee with Baileys and it was just what I needed for the cold, but the prices are a bit high, 10 chf for mine and for a long island ice tea 25chf!! But it is very nice and trendy. They also have food, but we didn't have any and closes around midnight. --------------- Diese Bar ist direkt neben dem Jüdischen Museum, so so gingen wir mal rein für einen Drink bevor wir nach Hause gingen. Ich hatte einen Kaffee mit Baileys und es war genau das, was ich für die kälte benötigte, aber die Preise sind etwas hoch, 10 chf für mein Kaffee und für einen Long Island Ice Tea 25CHF! Aber es ist sehr schön und trendy. Sie haben auch Essen, aber wir hatten keins und es schließt um Mitternacht. read more

Good food, nice cocktails and wine. Atmosphere is good, location is excellent and staff are friendly. My only concern is the service, sometimes the staff forget your order or get it wrong, and often leave you waiting. Still worth a visit, especially if you enjoy cocktails. read more

ONO - Bars Near Me - Basel, BS

Very nice atmosphere. Had the lamb and it was delicious, sourced from the Swiss countryside. Beer was good as well, reasonably priced. The only gripe is that the help seems to be low compared to volume of patrons, so only 4 stars. read more

Amazing! I visited Basel with my friends and we end up going there twice! Food: stunning (best red curry I have ever had), drinks great! Hospitality: 15/10!!!! First time we got there, kitchen was closed but still they got us a sharing platter because we were hungry! And everyone is so friendly! Best experience so far in Basel!! Highly recommended! read more

I rarely write reviews, but since Ono never responded to my email on the matter, I feel it's my duty to inform you all of what happened last month. I went for lunch at Ono with a friend, having been there before and enjoying my meal. I ordered the seared tuna with sprouts salad and a sparkling water. We had an enjoyable lunch until about 5 minutes after I finished eating. I suddenly felt extremely hot and noticed that my face and body had become bright red. I had a throbbing in my head, and my heart started racing. Scared and confused, we got the check, and I called my husband to come and meet us. By that time, I was extremely hot and noticeably red, a little shivery, and downright terrified. Keep in mind, I have no food allergies and have eaten all the foods in my dish many many times. When it was clear that whatever the issue was not going away, we proceeded to the ER. The doctors took one look at me and admitted me on the spot, hooked me up to an IV, gave me an ECG, and had to give me cortisone, fluids, and epinephrine to get me back to "normal". I ended up having to spend a night in the hospital. It was awful. I kept insisting that I don't have food allergies (which no one believed by the way), and took it on myself to do some research. Long story short, I've been cleared of any food allergies by an allergist here, and have come to the conclusion that it was actually food poisoning from the fish. Histamine toxicity (http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/1009464-overview) can occur when fish is not properly handled or refrigerated, allowing an overgrowth of bacteria which secrete histamine. Histamine is not inactivated by heat or cooking, and when a person ingests the contaminated fish, they have a reaction similar to an allergic reaction. My symptoms match exactly what is listed, and do not match your typical 'allergic' reaction or anaphylaxis. I emailed Ono after the incident to let them know, because it's critical they are aware that their fish is contaminated. It might not be them - it could be their fish provider - but in any case, Ono is responsible for ensuring the well being of their customers. I urge you not to have the tuna (or any fish there for that matter). I certainly will not be returning, and find it disappointing and shameful that they did not respond to my email. I am not looking for anything aside from an apology and a promise to look into the matter. I was lucky, it could have been worse. read more
