My first Swiss Fondue experience was an immersive, cheerful, cheese-fest with great service, food,…read moreand drinks in a uniquely Swiss atmosphere. It's $26 CHF (Swiss Francs for my US readers) per person, and they bring you a boiling vat of cheese and a bucket of bread. The menu is basically a listing of what kind of cheese you want, along with some sharables and desserts. I have a deeply held, long-standing love for cheese. But, this experience tested even my limits. The rule is, you don't drink anything cold with it as it will harden the cheese in your system. Seems like a bit of an urban legend. But, the alternative is brandy and wine, which they bring in great quantities if you ask for it. The brandy shot is included. Ah, the Swiss :) The cheeses were delicious and the bread soft. We dipped and swirled with long forks. My only other Fondue experience was Simply Fondue in Texas, where you actually cook meats in hot oil. This was not that. Cheese only. We also tried some onion soup, which was wonderful and not at all like "French Onion Soup" as we call it in the US. Not even sure if that's really French. For dessert we ordered some fruit and a strawberry sorbet, also outstanding. Our server was happy and fun, walking us through our new experience. We shared it with some local friends, making for a memorable night. Highly recommended if you want some great local food!

Warning: this is the only game in town when it comes to fondue, so they are extremely busy. Came in…read moreon a Monday around 6:00, and was told there was no way to fit us in that night, but we could make a reservation for later that week. We did, and reserved 6:00 PM that Thursday (everything later was taken). We came in on time to our reservation, but found our waitress to be a bit on the unfriendly side. Although 95% of the tables had fondue, she seemed very put out by working, and she was difficult to track down when we wanted to order more wine (this is not by American standards, and we weren't yelling in English. I lived in Germany for two years, speak good German, and am accustomed to European service). The restaurant was very cozy. If you're a table of two you are likely to share your table with another party of two, and it's just warm and homey on the inside. The food was very good- we ordered fondue for two and a salad to share, and found that more than adequate in terms of amount of food. The prices were reasonable, although the wine was more than in other restaurants in the area. I've had fondue before and preferred that experience, but if you find yourself in St. Gallen, craving fondue, then this is a fine choice.

The room decor was modern with a minimalist twist. The hotel staff were extremely friendly and attentive.

The hotel is a short walk from the city center which allows for a peaceful stay. This hotel and restaurant is the perfect place to stay when visiting St.Gallen. I highly recommend you check it out.

We took a trip to the other side of town today to have lunch at the Gartenhaus. I already knew it…read morewas worth the trip before I got there, as I've been at that Restaurant a couple of times before. After the (free) soup, which the very friendly ladies always serve before the meal at lunchtime, I picked an all time classic: Schnitzel with Röschti. The Röschti is, in my opinion, one of the best I have had so far - and I have had many Röschtis all over Switzerland! The Schnitzel (2 pieces) are very good as well, with a delicious breading and tender meat. All of this comes at a very reasonable price (I payed CHF 21.40, incl. soup and mineral water). The only thing a little bit intimidating is the portion: huge! So if you don't mind, I'll have a short nap to recover
