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.

I was there with a friend a few months ago for their Pasta Buffet for sfr. 13. + without drinks…read more There was also a buffet salad inclusive in the payment. The Buffet Salad bar has the typical mixed greens, sliced pepperoni, tomatoes in different sizes and form, black beans and white bean, over soggy red beet sliced, surely canned sweet corn and shreded carrots. There was soma mozzarella but not much. Choice of dressings are French, Italian and Balsamico. The salad buffet didn't excite me. The salad greens looks like they are too dehydrated. The combination of the ingredients does not seem to have in the mind of the person who prepared the buffet. It is like --- LET'S JUST FIND EVERY VEGETABLE IN THE KITCHEN AND CALL IT SALAD. Leaves were wilted, carrots are dry, the red beet -- swimming in water. I just got a few read beans and drizzle it with Italian sauce. The Pasta Buffet (or was it soup buffet) was totally frustrating. The spaghetti and penne were al dente but the sauces like bolognese, amatriciana and verdura were almost liquid.... I THOUGHT THEY WERE JOKING. The sides of the sauce carbonara server is so yellow. Is it too much oil, butter or was many times defrosted? That is what I get for sfr. 13+ The only nice thing is the waitress who smiles. If you want quantity over quality this is the place to be. I believe Pasta Buffet is 1x a week.
