St. Gallen (CH)
Good lunch offering with swift and friendly service: Restaurant Facincani (21. January 2020)
What I like about this restaurant is the fact that they have a rather generous starter soup which is included in the lunch menu – “tortellini al brodo”. The soup itself is rather average but the fact that they put quite some tortellini in it makes it more pleasant. And they are actually also delicious! […]
Perfect Italian experience with a very local twist: Restaurant Baratella (20. January 2020)
The Baratella is always good for a solid Italian dinner – I went for the “insalata con fegato” (CHF 18.80) as a starter which was a decent portion in terms of size and the quality of the fegato was actually good so it was a rather pleasant starter. As a main I went for the […]
Amazing lunch and service experience: Restaurant O’Premier @ Hotel Metropol (13. January 2020)
It’s about three years ago since I’ve been to the Restaurant O’Premier and frankly, I wonder why, given the O’Premier is actually making sure you have a great lunch experience. I went for the menu of the day (CHF 38.00) which started with a “roasted cauliflower soup” which was incredibly tasty and also quite a […]
Incredibly swift lunch – and even enjoyable: Restaurant Gentile (9. January 2020)
It is a bit ago since I’ve last been to the Gentile and it turned out that it has improved on its lunch service capabilities. I went for the “small menu salad” which was good, however, they are not really aware of the concept of “mouth sized pieces”. Frankly, some of the leaves were about […]
Swift and good lunch offering: Restaurant Nektar (6. January 2020)
Although being in St. Gallen frequently, I somehow haven’t managed to pay the Nektar a visit and finally it was time. I went for the “menu soup” which was good but I found the little slices of bread a bit “uninspirational” really. However, the soup was good and wasn’t too hot so it was perfectly […]
The Swiss version of a tapas concept: Restaurant Genuss Manufaktur Neubad (19. December 2019)
So far I have only visited the Genuss Manufaktur Neubad for lunch and finally it was time to pay the place a visit for dinner. The concept is quite lovely overall as you basically have the idea of ordering a couple of small dishes and then share them. Which – obviously – doesn’t work for […]
Absolutely perfect lunch offering: Wirtschaft Zur alten Post (19. December 2019)
The Restaurant Wirtschaft zur alten Post is definitely a place I can still recommend as the food is absolutely delicious and keeps being so. They offer a decent lunch menu for a fair price. I went for a “saffron fennel foam soup with lime oil” (CHF 5.80 as the menu soup) which was not only […]
Perfect understanding of how a business lunch works: Restaurant Bodega Prado (17. December 2019)
What I like about the Bodega Prado is the fact that they have really understood the concept of ‘business lunch’. For less than CHF 30.00 you get a starter, a main course, as well as a 0.5l water which is really quite amazing. And on top of that, it’s not just a simple “starter salad” […]
