    Went here with my Swiss girlfriend and my eight-year-old son and I loved it. It's a huge facility…read morewith restaurant, gift shop, museum, factory, and playground all in one. After paying, we were given small boxes with five different pieces of cheese to sample while walking through the museum. Halfway through the museum is a large window that overlooks the production facility where you can watch a video as well as the workers below making the cheese. Later on there is also a room where you can grind your own spices to keep. My son loved grinding the spices as well as watching the machine move the wheels of cheese around in the storage area. He also loved the playground outside. Overall this was a great stop on our tour of Switzerland and we highly recommend it for being both fun and educational!

    Came here as part of a group tour while traveling for work. I love Bergkäse, so was very excited…read morefor the tour and tasting. It started snowing during the tour we were on directly before this, so we were about 15 minutes late, and the tour guide seemed pretty put out. Once we settled in, we were split into two groups: one would do the tasting first, and the other would do the tour, then we would swap. I wound up with the tour first, and I would recommend the other way around: the tour is pretty stationary and boring (you stand in front of the gift shop for half, and then move around the corner for the last half). I would have enjoyed it more after the cheese/wine! The tasting was great. They set out a gorgeous display of the different types of cheeses, bread, nuts, grapes, etc., and served us a few glasses of white wine. (I guess there was some limit to the wine, but they refilled my glass twice, and I didn't see anyone get cut off). The cheese was delicious (I prefer the stronger varieties), and this was a really fun activity. Highly recommend!

    A very classy restaurant with brilliant food and good service…read more I visited St Gallen to see the famous Abbey (well worth the visit!) and was sent to Segreto when I asked where the best restaurant was. Segreto is Italian for "secret" I was told; but if it is, then it shouldn't be! The restaurant isn't in the town, but a short drive away. It is a truly idylic environment and the restaurant seems to organically grow from the formal dining room into a conservatory-style outside and then a stylish garden area. There is also a big outside casual dining area, though I'm not sure if that is part of the restaurant or not. The food is exquisite and clearly cooked by a deft and delicate hand in the kitchen. With such cuisine, I often find stuffy service, but not here where it is confident and professional. The wine list is very extensive and it is easy to find a complimentary wine. My overall thoughts are that this is a fantastic restaurant. I will certainly add this to my list of "must go" places, when I return to the St Gallen area.

    This is clearly the best Italian / mediterranean restaurant you can find not just in St. Gallen but…read morein all the Bodensee - region . The amazing detail is that the chef is a German : Martin Benninger. So how does it comes that a German can cook Italian specialities from agnolotti , guancia Di Vitello , carpaccio di spigola so heavenly (and not just Italian food , try the fois gras...) ? It happens that he cooked for more then 2 years for Heinz Beck in Rome , a legend there with 3 stars Michelin. If Martin continues to cook like this Its likely he will get his Michelin stars soon too. Another detail I like about this restaurant is that it has one of the best wine lists in Switzerland to really affordable prices. Some of the wines cannot be found cheaper if bought in a store.
