"The reservation process was tedious, not because they're slumped with customers but because they don't have anyone else to replace when the reservationist is on holiday. Other than that, a 3-Michelin star restaurant exceeds novice assumptions of a 3-Michelin star restaurant. Service is superb. Timing is impeccable. Every movement is a synchronised performance, serving and opening the dishes altogether. The harmonised flavours of each course are evocative. The restaurant's ambience was breath-taking. I wish it could run for even more than 4 hours. I suggest you arrive early and sample their signature and award-winning cocktails at the hotel's bar. Chef Peter Knogl finished his performance by speaking to all the diners one table after the other. Cheval Blanc is an experience you need ticking off your bucketlist ASAP! P.S. The most stunning thing I have noticed is the switching of languages in just a snap from one table to the other by the staff; English, German, French then back to English for my table. I'm not sure if I heard Italian but most definitely the three aforementioned languages. Totally mind-blowing!"

"This is a very friendly team. Chefs, waiters and leaders seem to be able to work very well together and even when there is a lot going on, they seem calm. They do it really well and we really enjoy eating on the ship. The food is always a culinary delight. So far we haven't had anything that we didn't like. Our children love the homemade pizza rolls. Where they can grab one and two, even if we're just picking up our pizza. They create a very nice feel-good atmosphere"

"I went to this restaurant like I go to a museum with the interest of discovering a foreign world. It's the world of my childhood which I'm glad burned. The large room is paneled with dark wood, there are geraniums on the terrace, and Aromat and liquid seasoning (not Maggi) are on the table as always. The vegetable rösti was good, although the portion was far too small. Whether frozen vegetables really have to be used in such museum style restaurants probably so. It doesn't matter, the hash browns and vegetables were tasty. The open beer was fresh and also tasted very good. A real ray of hope in this post war wasteland was the waiter, who although he spoke perfect Basel German and had a typically Swiss friendliness was recognizable as a secondo. The price was lower midrange and okay for once. The toilets worked."
