Switzerland🇨🇭 Michelin 3-Star Cheval Blanc by Peter Knogl

I stumbled upon this little gem in Basel, Switzerland—a Michelin 3-star🌟🌟🌟 restaurant! After a few emails back and forth, I finally secured a reservation! 🎉 The restaurant is located on the first floor of the 5-star Grand Hotel LES TROIS ROIS, right by the Rhine River. The architecture in Switzerland is just stunning. 🏰 The dishes were impeccable. The second and third appetizers alone set the stage for a 3-star experience. They were just divine! 🍖 - The fried rice crackers topped with crab meat and flavored with curry and a creamy French sauce were absolutely perfect! 🍔 - The foie gras macaron was a revelation. The foie gras just melted and exploded in your mouth. It was pure calorie bliss! 💕 The cream of spinach and corn soup with white truffle was heavenly. The aroma of the white truffle was so rich and aromatic. Paired with the recommended white wine, I couldn't help but marvel at the perfect balance. 🥣 The chef's signature dish, a type of fish🐟, was cooked to perfection—tender and slightly chewy. The sauce was a masterpiece, blending many ingredients with great care. The chef has masterfully infused Asian and Mediterranean elements into French cuisine, creating a fresh and delightful experience. 🍽️ The restaurant only serves 10 tables per meal. On the day I visited, it was mostly older couples. The atmosphere was just wonderful. As I sipped my wine, I couldn't help but wonder if, when I reach the age of the other diners, I'll still have the elegance to enjoy a fine meal with my partner. 🥂 Price-wise, it's quite reasonable for Switzerland. The wine pairing was an absolute steal! The average cost per person was around 400 CHF+, and I got to try 10 different wines (originally it should have been 6, but maybe they saw I was a wine enthusiast and paired each course with wine 😅). Each glass was more than half full, and the total for the wine pairing was only 158 CHF. I was truly tipsy by the end! 🍷 #MichelinRestaurant #MichelinThreeStars #FrenchCuisine #FoodieLife #FoodDiary #Switzerland #Basel #BaselFood #WineLover #RestaurantReview
