St. Gallen (CH)
Decent food but very slow in its production: Restaurant Acquarello (15. August 2019)
If you are in a hurry, I would not recommend to visit the Acquarello. We got in quite late that evening (around 9:30pm) and wanted a quick dinner. I started with a “zuppa di pomodoro bianca e basilico (white tomato soup with fresh basil)” (CHF 11.50) which looked didn’t really look all too appealing as […]
Great for lunch but on the more expensive side: Restaurant Zur alten Post (14. August 2019)
I started liking the “Zur alten Post” quite a lot since it is a restaurant which is great in terms of lunch offerings. Not entirely on the cheap side but I like what they offer and the way it is prepared. When you’re seated inside, the atmosphere of the place is absolutely lovely as it […]
Friendly service but weak Caesar salad: Restaurant Einstein Bistro (12. August 2019)
Luckily, the Einstein Bistro is one of the places which is still open even late in the evening and you get something to eat after 10pm. It does take quite a bit of time though until you get served but better than nothing. The “caesar salad with bacon, Parmesan and chicken stripes” (CHF 27.00) was […]
Decent Italian lunch with slow service: Restaurant Kolosseum (8. August 2019)
The Kolosseum has an interesting concept when it comes to the lunch menu – they just have three to five dishes from which you can pick. There isn’t any menu, there is just the waiter telling you what there is. And you will only see the price for the menu once you get the bill. […]
Good lunch offering but slow kitchen: Restaurant Zur alten Post (31. July 2019)
I like the Restaurant zur Alten Post because it always offers a nice selection of menus as well as today – I went for the “zucchini foam soup with mandarin oil” (CHF 5.80) which was a bit of a tiny portion but actually quite refreshing and the hint of mandarin oil ensured that there was […]
Good lunch offering and nice patio to enjoy the summer: Restaurant Lagerhaus (18. July 2019)
The Lagerhaus is somewhat amazing in summer as you get to sit outside in the patio and enjoy the summer while it is still relatively cool. The lunch offering is always fair as you get a “menu salad” (usually CHF 4.50, but included in the menu price) which is absolutely decent. For me, the only […]
Lovely view over St. Gallen and outstanding service: Restaurant Falkenburg (10. July 2019)
Although I had spent about 8 years in St. Gallen, I somehow had never heard of the ‘Falkenburg’ but it turns out that I have really missed out on something. It is, admittedly, a bit remote and not that easy to reach, but it is definitely worth the walk or the little drive up the […]
Interesting lunch concept with good food: Restaurant Genuss Manufaktur Neubad (9. July 2019)
The Genuss Manufaktur Neubad used to be called differently and about two years ago, I paid it a visit and already liked it back then. They offer quite an interesting concept for lunch – you can either pick one ‘large’ course or take several smaller ones in order to extend your experience. I started with […]
