The eating out landscape in Basel, like anywhere else is ever evolving. You can find a wide range of eateries to explore on this link https://www.basel.com/en/eating-out, but to help you start exploring the food scene in Basel, you can check out some of the restaurants that are frequently enjoyed by our ISB families below and see what they have to say.
For home delivery you can download Just-Eat.ch or Smood. Ordering in is a pricey affair in Switzerland, but still worth it for days when cooking home food doesn't seem like a viable option or you simply need a break!
