    Acqua Osteria

    For a special experience, head to these converted waterworks beside a quiet stream and the club Kuppel. The atmosphere is a heady mix of glam and industrial, with brown leather banquettes, candles and chandeliers - one over the open kitchen made from cooking utensils - inside bare concrete walls and floors. The food is Tuscan and the fact the ever-changing chalkboard menu is written in Italian might be more pretentious if this weren't multilingual Switzerland. Staff will explain all, but do book if you want a table. Basel's beautiful people drink in the attached lounge bar.

    Weinstube Gifthüttli

    This cosy, 1st-floor eatery offers a mix of traditional timber touches and a whiff of art nouveau in the decor. They do various types of Schnitzel Cordon bleu (stuffed veal or pork filets) and have a set lunch for Sfr22.50.

    Café de L'imprimerie

    This converted print shop makes an unpretentious bistro, with chalky walls and heavy wooden tables. Filling meals at affordable prices mean it's a fond local haunt.
