  Riverside restaurant. Nice atmosphere. Decent drinks and food, nothing special but good enough. It was expensive. We each had a cocktail and main course and shared a starter and the bill came to almost 300 CHF. Service was fine generally but there was one waitress who was slightly off. She made half joking snarky comments which were uncalled for... The restaurant is dog friendly so there were a few dogs on the terrace. Unfortunately a rat ran past us as we were leaving the restaurant, but I guess it's not that surprising given the restaurant is by the river along the path.

  While walking along the Rhine in Basel, I was drawn into Portofino by the inviting riverside setting and a menu that sounded too good to pass up. Although the outdoor seating was closed, completely understandable on a cold late evening. The atmosphere inside turned out to be just as memorable. The interior struck a perfect balance: warmly lit, intimate, and cozy without feeling overly dark. It had a relaxed elegance that made it easy to settle in and enjoy the evening. I chose one of the daily specials, rabbit leg with a honey mustard sauce, and it was outstanding. The rabbit was tender and full of flavor, and the sauce complemented it perfectly without overpowering the dish. It was comforting, refined, and easily one of the best meals I had during my time in Basel. From the ambiance to the food, the entire experience felt thoughtful and authentic. I would gladly return especially to enjoy the riverside seating along the Rhine in warmer weather.
