TASTE BASEL

Local flavours.
Here and now.

Taste Basel is neither a classic food fair nor a conventional food festival, but a contemporary platform for regional food culture. From 12 to 14 November 2027, Basel becomes the melting pot of Switzerland’s culinary world. The event brings producers, artisans, top-tier gastronomy, trade professionals, and a food-loving public together around one shared table, in a figurative sense.

At its heart are the people, products, and stories that make Basel a city of exceptional taste. Taste Basel’s vision is to bring this unique diversity together in one place for the first time and to make it accessible to a wide audience. Visitors will be able to discover, experience, and savour Basel’s culinary world in all its facets. The result is a shared platform that connects culinary excellence, regional identity, and the diversity of Basel’s gastronomy in a distinctive way.

Christoph Hartmann

«Enjoyment begins with the products and the people behind them.»

Chris Hartmann has been head chef at the Teufelhof in Basel since July 2026, where he completed his culinary apprenticeship. After working at other establishments, he returned to the Wyniger Group, helped establish the Ufer7 restaurant, and developed the Taverne Johann into a neighborhood restaurant with 13g of AulMillau points.

His philosophy is based on regionality, craftsmanship, and respect for the product. As a passionate hunter, he processes game from his own hunting grounds, such as wild boar from the Basel region, directly in his kitchen.
