You can't miss it. It's centrally located in the Town Hall Square with views of other colorfully painted buildings. The frescoes of these historical buildings on this side of town are absolutely stunning. The pictures don't truly reflect the full beauty of it all. This restaurant was highly recommended to us. I can totally see why. We were very fortunate to find an empty table for lunch. The outdoor terrace is very popular considering the beautiful scenery around us. The menu has a mix of Swiss German and Italian menu items, as well as an extensive wine list. Yes, it's also a wine tavern (Weinstube). I looked around and noticed that just about everyone was enjoying the St. Galler Gourmet Sausage. It was an easy decision for me. It was served with a seasonal salad and brown bread. That salad was absolutely delicious! I need to find a recipe for this salad & dressing. I could eat this everyday. The sausage was tasty & juicy. This was exactly the kind of meal I was looking for in a local & traditional specialty. I would order the same thing again. I can see why it's so popular. My husband decided to get the Penne all'Arrabbiata with chicken. He absolutely loved the spiciness of the sauce. He seemed very happy with his choice, and kept commenting on it. The service was great from beginning to end. I couldn't have asked for a better atmosphere. There were groups of families and couples all around us enjoying their meal. Everyone was taking in the beautiful weather on the terrace, and having a great time. It's another wonderful experience that will stay in our memories forever. Highly recommended!

America wasn't even discovered then! While visiting Stein am Rhein, my friend and I made this a must-see place. We stopped in for drinks. I had a delicious apple cider, my friend had a local beer. The interior is quaint and cozy, lined with hard wood and tables fit snugly together. I was in awe imagining all the generations of people who ate and drank here for the past six hundred years. Amazing. If you're in Stein am Rhein, make sure to stop by Rother Ochsen and make yourself a part of its historic legacy.
