Das Schiff

Anchored on the edge of the River Rhine, Schiff is a cultural centre with a restaurant and bar that extends over three decks. Schiff is known as a meeting place for creatives but its location makes it an ideal venue for anyone to enjoy views of Basel’s watery artery while wining and dining in chic surroundings. The main deck is home to a restaurant specialising in European cuisine and a bar/lounge with a hint of the South Seas. Menus read like modern upmarket gastro-pub fare, and are carefully prepared and presented. While the nautical theme might get a bit much (considering you’re clearly not actually on the high seas), the wooden decking of the terrace makes this place really come into its own in the summer when you can sit under the stars and enjoy late night Basel. Bon voyage.
