In such an elegant dinning room our expectations were set high and we were not to be disappointed. We chose the tasting menu. To summarise in a nutshell, the meal was quite superb. The foie gras with passion fruit and brioche followed by the next course of asparagus and morels in a foam jus were sublime. I could not fault... More

Absolutely fantastic experience - amazing food, service and atmosphere. Perfect Michelin star experience. As you would expect it is very expensive - even by Swiss standards.

very good restaurant with rather high prices, especially when ordering a la carte. Don't think value for money is very good, but on the other and the food itself is impeccable.

I had dinner at Cheval Blanc in October for the first time and I wan not disappointed. It is really expensive, but if you want to celebrate a special event or go for a really upscale business dinner this is the place to chose. The food is simply fantastic! Take the time to take an aperitif at the bar first!

I was at Basel to watch the Swiss Open Tennis Tournament within the first week of November 2011 with three other tennis addict friends and we decided to ''reward'' ourselves by eating at this magnificent Michelin Two Star restaurant on Saturday night. My starter was a very tasty fois gras and main course was a very delicious lobster rissotto .My... More

The chef of the gourmet restaurant of the Grand Hotel Les Trois Rois was “chef of the year 2011” – and he continues to shine: Let Peter Knogl and his crew spoil you with their seasonal menu. I will cost you dearly – but it’s worth every penny! 2 stars in the latest Guide Michelin, 18 points in the latest... More

What could be said. Best Chef 2010, 2 stars Michelin, nice place, the food is incredible, the wine card is also very nice. Nothing bad to say. Just try and let us know. Definitly the best restaurant in Basel.

The place is gourgeus, it is the restaurant of the luxury hotel les trois rois. It is very cosy, only 12 tables. Service is outstanding, very accurate. Food is refined and delicious. Watch out for prices. The rates that very indicated are not accurate. I was on business trip and had some troubles in staying within my company's policy for... More

The food and the service in this place is hard to match. Perhaps the decor is a little bit old fashioned and overloaded but the food and service are hard to match.
