Cotê Jardin — Restaurant in Basel

What a shame i didn't read the reviews before eating there... This has been a complete disaster from start to end, and literally, they cheat on us. I am a frequent traveller and plus traveller/food journalist, so I have visited a lot of places and taste infinite restaurant... and this has certainly been my worst restaurant hotel experience. We ended up here because our flight was cancelled and dinner was supposed to be included from the airplane company. The problem was that when we arrived for dinner, even if we specified to the staff we were from the plane canceled, no one informed us that there was a special menu on that case and the maximum price was 20 euros per person in a restaurant where there were almost no dishes under this price (just a soup and entrance)... ut, surprise!

Our next dinner (yes, we went back) included a "treat" of risotto with prawn. YUM! The Weiner Schnitzel was not my favorite, it was like chicken fried steak without gravy. But we went back oneore time during our stay. Another "treat", this time crispy pork belly with sweet potato puree. Another superb bite of heaven. We enjoyed our stay in Basel and will stop by Cote Jardin if ever in...

We are staying at the Dorint hotel, in which the Cote Jardin is located. We’ve eaten here several times, with good food (fish and chips, sea bass, and various snacks) each time. But it’s the little extra touches that have earned the 5 star rating from me. They bring a small appetizer before the meal - once it was a yellow pea purée that sounds odd but was delicious - and a selection of wonderful breads. They have also gone out of their way to accommodate my many allergies, and remembered them after the...
