Was Wolfgang Marx at Bonvivant a mag?
although the dame was not outstandingly friendly when booking on the phone, I would give this restaurant full score. very exceptional concept. We were taken with you at reception with the sacks. the ambiente should not be disturbed. the device is very creatiw and beautiful and shaped by designer pieces. the restaurant fits well into the artistic basel. Eating was very delicious and is prepared only with regional, qua... View all feedback.
What Florence Bakken dislikes about Bonvivant:
we, for over 30 years, have been singing gourmets, the simple good kitchen as well as 3 star restaurants, were simply disappointed!We knew the concept of earlier visits and therefore did not expect a buckling taste, neither in the local nor on the plates.But if purism is confusing table, uncomfortable occasions sitting and confused into small portions, we simply say:SRY boudie vin!

You need a thick skin to handle the cold, rude behavior of the owner and staff towards anyone who isn't Swiss. The food was decent but served poorly - they served all the men first which is not proper etiquette and we were all laughing at the empty spaces in front of the women. Plus they were pushing their 'paired wines' on us so hard, they wouldn't even let us look at a menu for an aperitif. None of us will go back. Hotel Kraft had much better food and service.

We wanted to spend a nice culinary evening with friends. Unfortunately, this was not possible in the bonvivant. eating is good, but hasn't convinced me 100% personally. the service in such a restaurant should not miss anything - the hostes are already striving, but unfortunately somewhat down from above. on mine, please, if I should have salt and pepper, I got to answer that he cooked it right. taste is now different from person to person and for me it belongs to a beautiful piece of meat that I can season this myself after my taste. sure there are people who can spend great and culinary evenings there, unfortunately we do not belong to it. in the total package the price-performance ratio is not true at all. very bad.
This was my second visit to Bonvivant. My first being around a year ago, I had read all of the reviews before, and the Ines that say it's terrible all talk about great food but, poor or rude service...On both visits this restaurants food and service has been excellent. Both the waitress and owner were on hand at various points and able to, not only provide insight into the food but also the excellent t wine pairings. Bonvivant isn't cheap, and rightly so, the food is excellent. Well seasoned, ever changing and entirely enjoyable. I cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough and look forward to my 3rd visit.The owner was even so kind as to ask us if we would like to stay post midnight to usher in a friends birthday, providing us with a comfy seating area and drinks even though the restaurant had been closed for some time. To top this off as we left, after having a lovely, relaxed drink and for 2 of us a chat with the owner, the birthday boy was gifted a lovely homemade marmalade and hand written message.A thoroughly lovely evening of great food and wine.I have not.l noted the specific dishes as the menu changes with the seasons and local availability, as it should and can with such a skilled and passionate team in the kitchen and front of house.Thank you
What a fantastic restaurant! Locally sourced produce cooked with care and exquisitely presented. The host was charming and engaging. Oh and those cheeses!
