..got a tech guy coming over from the yew kay on the morrow and can not be bothered to use the search function, anybody know a good CHian restaurant, Rösti and fried horse and such within walking distance of town center?

ta.

Restaurant Linde, had some superb liver with Rosti there, not sure if they serve horse, they might
It is in the Rheingasse

I recommend Spillman - has a lovely view of the Rhein.

Lunch menu was good value the last time we were there. Quite popular so reservation recommended.

Gonna check out the Linde, sounds quite Swissy to me.

The locals use and recommend:
Restaurant Elsbethenstübli
Elisabethenstrasse 34, 4051 Basel

you lazy...

Elisabethen Stubli and Walliserkanne are the best for traditional Swissie food.

I really like restaurant Schnabel:

I haven't been for a while but they used to do lovely soup starters and their Rosti was yum yum yummy!

Next door to Linde is the Fischerstübe, from whence comes Üli bier. (Brewed on the premises). I think they're under the same ownership? Anyway, the food is about the same quality, but I find Fischerstübe has the best atmosphere.

Chateau Lapin or Häseburg, at Andreasplatz. Communal seating and Rösti and more Rösti!

Another vote for the Walliserkanne. That's where we take all of our out-of-town business guests for traditional Swiss food.

For something slightly more up-market, I also like Safran Zunft. It's quieter and a little more intimate.

Given the choice, I'd take a group of 4 or fewer to Safran Zunft, 5+ to Walliserkanne.

They're about a two-minute walk from one another, so you could check out both and make your choice.

Went there last night, great grub and great beer.
