What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Restaurant Atelier offers a sophisticated yet informal dining experience with a focus on modern cuisine using regional ingredients. Diners praise the artful ambiance, attentive service, and well-executed main courses like steak and fish. However, some reviews mention inconsistent seasoning and portion sizes, with desserts being a frequent point of disappointment.
"Amazing service and great dishes in the courtyard in old Basel."

"What a disappointment! We ordered a salad for a starter and a main course of fish. The salad was ok, nothing special. The fish came cold, and row I returned it to the kitchen. It came after a while and was still row in the middle. It is unfortunate to see the same fish served at the same table, which was different. The Basmati rice was half cooked. The taste of the fish and the rice was blant, no flavour at all. The service, was unprofessional. I did not expect this from this restaurant. I have been in this restaurant since we moved to Basel. Thank god they did not charge me for my fish."
Zebiba Hartmann
"A wonderful place with great service. The charming patio offers a bit of coolness on a hot day. Unfortunately, we were probably unlucky with the food – out of five people, four received heavily oversalted dishes (steaks and lamb), and the gazpacho had nothing to do with a proper gazpacho – watery, lacking blended bread, and with no noticeable garlic flavor."
