Lovely little patio in the back: Restaurant Lagerhaus (4. July 2019)
I was not aware of the fact that the restaurant Lagerhaus has a little outside patio which isn’t actually that little but quite huge. The lunch menu today consisted of a “cold cucumber bowl” which was good in terms of flavor and consistency. However, while serving something cold is fine, I do not understand why […]
Exactly the same as 10 years ago: Restaurant Marktplatz (26. June 2019)
The Restaurant Marktplatz was already there when I studied in St. Gallen 10 years ago – and the staff is actually (at least to some degree) still the same. The Austrian male waiter is still there and runs the place from a service perspective. However, they were not really on the quick side this evening […]
Good lunch offering in a cool atmosphere: Restaurant zum Schlössli (25. June 2019)
It is a bit ago since I’ve been to the Schlössli but I have good memories of the place, so it was time to visit again. As a starter I went for the “cold bell pepper soup with cream cheese balls”. The soup was refreshing and ideal for the hot temperatures. As a main, I […]
Slow service but tasty dishes: Restaurant Zeughaus (24. June 2019)
The Restaurant Zeughaus is a very simple place but offers absolutely tasty dishes. As a starter I went for the “tortellini in brodo” (CHF 4.50) and frankly speaking, I wasn’t expecting much but the broth is intense and full of flavor and the tortellini are cooked perfectly al dente. The only downside was the fact […]
Amazingly good for freshly grilled fish: Restaurant Lagerhaus (20. June 2019)
I knew that the restaurant Lagerhaus offers quite a decent and tasty selection of dishes – but I was all the more surprised how good their “market fish (gilthead)” (CHF 36.00) actually is. They prepare it freshly, stuff it with lemons and thyme and grill it on the charcoal grill which just makes the fish […]
Absolutely nice lunch offering: Restaurant Einstein Bistro (20. June 2019)
The Einstein Bistro is part of the Einstein hotel which is supposedly the best hotel in St. Gallen. They do offer a nice lunch offering though in any case, for a solid CHF 28.00 you get a starter and a main which I consider quite a bargain. Today it was a “cocos curry soup” which […]
Looks more promising than it actually is: Restaurant Barz (4. June 2019)
The Restaurant Barz is located in the old city of St. Gallen and in a quite lovely atmosphere when you get to sit outside and enjoy the nice weather. The menu is rather small but you find something suitable right away. The only downside is the speed of the service – they are super friendly […]
A new restaurant in the former ‘Barolo’: Restaurant La Follia (23. May 2019)
The La Follia is the restaurant which I used to frequent when I was studying in St. Gallen – however, the ‘Barolo’ doesn’t exist anymore and La Follia has taken over. For a couple of years already, I have been told. Given it was one of the first quite sunny days outside, we had lunch […]
