The Best Restaurants in Canton of Sankt Gallen
A visit to Memories is always an experience. Sven Wassmer's cookery combines regional traditions and the best ingredients to create delicious gourmet cuisine without chichi. The excellent wine pairing by Amanda Wassmer Bulgin creates a fourth dimension of enjoyment.
On the upper floor of the Hotel Einstein, precisely themed fine dining menus with four to six courses unfold pure elegance. The cuisine avoids gimmickry and the wine selection from the vaulted wine cellar delivers big names as well as exciting surprises.
Well, the "Igniv" at the "Grand Resort Bad Ragaz" has always been excellent. But now Joel Ellenberger, who has been the head chef for two years, has put his own stamp on Andreas Caminada's sharing concept. His style is characterised by freshness, acidity, variety and a good dose of courage. Trout with green mango. Mackerel with sea buckthorn and caviar - it's amazing how the Zurich chef manages the balancing act between the fruity acidity and the iodine-salty grain. It's all a question of balance for the talented chef. The brilliant pairing: Sauvignon Blanc "Privat" 2019 from the Gross winery in southern Styria, a rare wine monument that is only produced in the best years. Beef tongue aspic with bean salad - a hearty Bavarian country house classic becomes a delicate gourmet dish. When it comes to breaded cauliflower with miso hollandaise, connoisseurs know straight away that Ellenberger has incorporated a Schauenstein classic into the menu! You would love to dive into the beurre blanc that accompanies the halibut with beans. Not a drop remains in the plate. Patissière Lisa Oestreich can be relied upon for dessert: the tonka bean soufflé is a poem, as is the cherry sorbet with poppy seeds that accompanies the poor knight. Lorenz Tesar comes up with exciting gimmicks to accompany the wines: The blind comparison of the 2018 Bündner Pinot Noirs from Gantenbein and Möhr-Nigglis Pilgrim - both from large bottles - is spectacular. The clear winner is: let yourself be surprised. Yes, Ellenberger is climbing the imaginary ranking list of top Swiss chefs in leaps and bounds. It doesn't get much more fun and enjoyment to share.
The Jägerhof offers gourmet cuisine at a very high level. Finely composed plates with intense flavours and precise technique characterise the style. A destination in St. Gallen for all those who appreciate craftsmanship and creativity and really want to look forward to every course.

Bernadette Lisibach can draw on a wealth of resources for her cookery: the Lake Constance region is a paradise for regional, fresh produce. Her menus reflect the seasons and always delight with a keen eye for detail. A fine selection of wines from the region.

The Segreto is no longer an insider tip. In this beautiful restaurant in the industrial area, Martin Benninger and his team serve excellent, Mediterranean-influenced cuisine with a classic base. It is accompanied by exquisite wines, including rare and grown-up ones.
St. Gallen's newcomer. Head chef Benjamin Geisser works closely with his brother, David Geisser, who is well-known from television and has his own successful cookery studio. Dishes here have names such as "Puss in Boots", "Guernica" or "The Kiss". Cool.

When the weather is fine, the lakeside terrace is the place to be, but the view inside is not to be sneezed at either. Because Chef de Cuisine Sandro Lüthi is curious, his guests always get to taste something new. Baharat, wasabi or wood sorrel add pizzazz to the menus.

This St. Gallen first-floor pub has plenty of rustic charm, but also a lot to offer in terms of cuisine. The kitchen serves down-to-earth, seasonal dishes. Most of them are classically Swiss, with the occasional exotic departure from the norm.
