Absolutely lovely first-floor restaurant: Restaurant Bäumli (8. Oktober 2019)
The Restaurant Bäumli is one of the few remaining ‘first floor restaurants’ in St. Gallen and it is super lovely in terms of atmosphere. The place is rather small (at least on the side towards the entrance) but very cozy and comfortable. The service welcomes you in a friendly way and makes sure you are attended within no time. The “pumpkin cream soup with pumpkin seed oil and pumpkin seeds” (CHF 12.00) is absolutely rich and good in terms of flavor. The whipped cream on top is – in my opinion – unnecessary.
I went for the “fried pike perch filet with French fries and sauce tartare” (CHF 26.00) and it was actually quite good. I would personally have preferred a bit more “fish” and a bit less “batter” around it but it was still good. And, something you do not find that often, there was even enough sauce!
All in all, the Restaurant Bäumli is just perfect for lunch as the place is lovely, the service is swift and very friendly plus the food is good and fair in price. Just make sure to book your table in advance as you won’t be able to score one on short notice.

About the Author: Sven
I started the blog in October 2009, while living in Milan which I definitely consider to be one of the food capitals of the world. I was in touch with food since my early childhood (as my father is a former chef). Whenever I can, I travel the world to discover new places, to meet people but mostly to try local dishes and to find hidden gems! If you know a place worth going, please drop a line to: info@thediningexperience.org.
Currently, I am a member of the following food-related associations: Chevalier @Chaîne des Rôtisseurs Zurich-Ville; Membre Gourmet Dégustateur @Ordre Mondial des Gourmets Dégustateurs [OMGD]; Gesellschafter @Goldener Fisch and Member @Slowfood Convivium Zurich City.
