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!!

Relatively easy walk from our hotel, and kept us in the area where the Autumn Festival was being held. We were happy with our choice. We got there at 5 when they opened, because we wanted to get to the festival before it became too dark outside. When we arrived, we were seated right away, and there was only one other table with guests. But from there, it slowed down....a lot. It was about 10 minutes before our server took our drink order, and another 10 before he checked back to see if we were ready to order (we were). Any time we needed anything, including the check at the end, we would have to flag him down and ask. I don't recall him checking on us once during the entire meal. Service was average, at best. But the food, was very good. My wife had the pumpkin ravioli, and I had the ham, egg and cheese rosti. Along with a good German beer and my wife's choice of a prosecco, we were happy with the food....except for the bottle of water for the table.....that I was charged 11 euros for! If I were a local, or could speak German, I would go back for the food. Back as an American, I felt a little overlooked and unwelcome in the end.

The waitress didn't know if the broth is pork or beef based. The egg's not prepared the way Ajitama are supposed to be. The chashu didn't taste like chashu. Grossly overpriced for what you're paying, even by Swiss standards. I've had ramen from all over - mostly in the U.S., and this was one of the most expensive yet also most disappointing bowls of ramen I've had to date. I hope the restaurant strives to deliver a more authentic and better quality bowl of ramen in the future, adhering and paying homage to the Japanese tradition.

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!

You will often spend 100 Swiss Francs per person (approximately 110 US dollars, depending on the exchange rate). With that being said, I don't even know where to start! Started the evening with a glass of prosecco, and sweet potato soup (they put a lump of walnut ice cream in it). It is absolutely divine! We ordered the rack of lamb and the duck. While waiting for the main course, we were brought out delicacies from the chef in the kitchen. Everything paired nicely with their many options of wine. The main courses came out aesthetically pleasing, as well as cooked to perfection. I guess that is to expect from a restaurant that has been around longer than the States. The duck was not over cooked, and the lamb fell of the bone into a sauce that strike your palate. We ended the evening with Swiss chocolates an dessert. Which was mouth watering. We will be back in 10 weeks, and I cannot wait to go here again.
