This time I had the pumpkin soup for a starter and the veal fillet for my main. The soup was good, very tasty. The veal was also very good, well cooked - still a bit red. The veal came with some tempura veggies that were excellently cooked, a nice crispy batter and excellent taste. I had a beer with dinner, but they have a nice selection of wine as well. They had a small selection of deserts. I tried a few And they were all very nice. It's a very nice restaurant and it was all very tasty, but for the price I expect a bit more.

What a find in Basel! Think of this as Japanese fusion. The staff was really nice and friendly, and…read morethe food was great. I ordered the tuna tataki and the surf and turf, and everything came out great. They have a small conveyor belt sushi on one end of the restaurant and a teppanyaki table on the other. The setup is really nice - sit at the teppanyaki if there are seats available and watch your food being cooked. The portions are generous. The tuna was seared nicely and the sauce was delicious. The surf and turf came with shrimp which had an amazing butter sauce. And the filet was perfectly cooked to medium raw - so tender. Presentation of the food was also nicely done.

We were lucky to find HATTORI SUSHI AND STEAKHOUSE right next to our hotel(Radisson BLU Hotel). We were greeted by the owner Nick who made us feel very welcome. The decor of the restaurant had an Asian flair and an ambience that was very comfortable. The restaurant had a moving sushi bar with an array of choices and Teppanyaki U shape counter. Hattori opened 5 Months ago. To start we had the Shrimp and Vegetable Tempura and Ahi Tuna Tataki with a Kirin Premium beer. The Tempura was light and crispy with a flavorful dipping sauce. The Tuna Tataki was seared to perfection with the right amount of seasoning and topped with daikon/sauce. The Steak was done medium rare with a variety of sautéed mushrooms including shiitake. It was plated with a nice delicate sauce with cubed gelatin flavored with shiitake mushroom dashi, mirin, shoyu and sake. Chef Alek served us his soft and tasty Homemade bread with a marinated broccoli spread. Executive Chef Alek's creations are so tasty. We ended the dinner with shot of Yamasaki Whiskey which won a world title as best in class and Sweet Umeshu. It was an excellent meal and we felt at home with the friendly staff and owner. We highly recommend Hattori Sushi/Steakhouse and hope you all will check it out. Your taste buds will be treated to an awesome epicurean experience!

Food: my girlfriend and i ordered the beer fondue. it wasnt a big portion but it was really one of the best fondues i had! the cool thing is instead of bread (which is sometimes dry) they gave us warm bretzels. really good! wish i could eat fondue only with bretzels! Service: they were nice. sometimes not very attentive but totally ok. Atmosphere: its not a special atmosphere. but the good thing is that you can even sit outside in a little alley if its nice weather. even at high temperatures it wont be too hot there. additionally in the inside the have a "zapfhahne" on a table where you can take infinite beer on self-service. and in the end they give you the bill of all the beer summed up, pretty cool! All together more likely a 3-stars place. but because of that awesome fondue and the delicious beer they offer i give it 4 stars!!

We dined here on the advice of our concierge and it turned out to be a good bet. After ordering a refreshing local lager, I opted for the fixed price menu for CH68, which is a little over 70 bucks. Yeah, things are pricey in Switzerland, but this was a meal well prepared, well presented, and full of flavorful surprises! Two cute little samosas with avocado cream sauce and what looked like lentil sprouts were presented by the staff as soon as we ordered. These were tasty and an indication of good things to come. Our salads arrived looking fabulous, with big, grilled prawns, and some of the freshest organic lettuce I've had in a while. But the best part were the slices of fresh creamy avocado lining the bottom of the salad plate. A truly outstanding salad in every way. This was followed by a tasty tomato soup, again homemade, with fresh basil and cream. This was a bit tart for me, although I devoured every bite. The main was a big fillet of organic salmon on a bed of lentils and light mustard sauce. Very good, but the fish was a touch overcooked to my taste. On a sidenote, I've become sensitive to a delicacy of fish and usually like a bit on the "raw" side. So I'm not complaining a bit about this preparation - I think most customers wouldn't have even noticed. For dessert a gorgeous white and chocolate mousse presentation, a marvel to taste buds and delightful to the eye. This was creamy and not too sweet - perfect for me. The service was great, with the waiters first speaking to us in German, then in French, then finally in English, realizing we were American. I recommend Le Train Bleu anytime you're in Basel on business or pleasure. The location is great and the people-watching from the outer patio is reason enough to hang out here, even if you only want a beer!

Unlike other Novotels I have been to, this one had some drinks and snacks available to purchase at the lobby. Right off the bat, they give you a BaselCard, which allows you to use the city public transportation (busses and trams) and half price on many touristic attractions across the city, during your stay. Public transportation in Basel is top notch, and you can get pretty much any where, including bordering french and german towns, using it. We were a family of four and stayed in a executive room on the 4th floor. Very spacious and comfortable. Had a queen bed and a sofa bed. Big screen TV with an immense amount of channels in german, english, french, italian... Room has a minifridge with complimentary water, and a Nespresso machine with 6 free capsules that are replenished daily. Plenty of outlets, including near the bed. Nice bathroom, fairly large. Loved that there was a shower separated from the tub. Also the toilet was in a separated space. Interestingly, the wall between the tub and room was some kind of "tanned wall", that appears as normal see through glass until you press a button and it becomes opaque. Worth mentioning that the hotel is a 15 min walk from the SBB railway station, but there are at least 3 nearby tram station. There is also a small grocery store 5 min from here. Overall, great hotel, would stay here again if I ever have the opportunity to comeback to this beautiful city.
