The story
At PURO in Basel, the guiding philosophy is simple: "everything is possible, nothing is mandatory." Housed in the Mövenpick Hotel Basel, this restaurant brings a fresh, imaginative approach to the table, offering a casual fine dining experience without compromise.
The menu is a vibrant fusion of Asian aromas and Latin American specialties, all built around carefully sourced local products. Every dish is designed to be shared, turning a meal into a communal adventure. "Sharing is caring," the team believes, and the result is a double dose of flavour.
Led by Executive Chef Pablo Löhle, the kitchen crafts refined, modern plates that have earned serious recognition. PURO is recommended by the Michelin Guide, and Chef Löhle was named "Koch des Monats" (Chef of the Month) by GaultMillau, which also awarded the restaurant 15 points. These accolades reflect the passion and precision of the entire team.
The service is warm, professional, and international, making everyone feel welcome—from colleagues to families with children. In the open show kitchen, guests can watch their meals come to life, adding a layer of theatre to the experience.
Beyond the main dining room, PURO offers a pop-up terrace during the summer months, where the Latin-Asian fusion cuisine is served al fresco in the heart of Basel. For those seeking more privacy, the Private Dining and Chef’s Table experiences provide an exclusive setting. Whether you are sharing a plate or celebrating a milestone, PURO is a place where pure enjoyment takes centre stage.
