1. Einstein Gourmet
$$$$ | |Only the best is served at this highly lauded fine dining restaurant with impeccable service, artistic haute cuisine, and lovely views of St. Gallen. In addition to the indulgent multicourse tasting menus, the restaurant has beautiful wood beam ceilings that lend a strong sense of place to the establishment.

2. Jägerhof
$$$$ | |This light and airy room in a 19th-century town house is St. Gallen's top address for organic ingredients, light, innovative cuisine, and heartfelt service. Local foodies and hipsters alike enjoy the prix-fixe menu that might include rabbit stuffed with truffles, chicken liver with brioche and quince compote, or pike perch with risotto and celery. Chef Agron Lleshi, who studied under former chef Vreni Giger, has taken over the local institution and is still committed to providing a gourmet experience without the snooty attitude that often accompanies it elsewhere.

- Gracious service

3. Schlössli
$$ | |Tidy, bright, and modern, this second-floor restaurant may lack the historic feel of some of its neighbors, but it features remarkable cooking from a well-regarded chef. Look for locally sourced dishes such as white fish and root vegetables marinated in honey, or lamb shanks with chanterelle mushrooms, seasonal vegetables, and bread dumplings. The café draws local families at lunch; business executives choose the slightly more formal dining room.

- Regional and seasonal ingredients
- Attentive service
- Creative menu

4. Am Gallusplatz
$$ | |The menu at this culinary landmark is based on market-fresh ingredients and may include such ample fare as a triumvirate of fillets (beef, veal, lamb) with fresh vegetables and potatoes, but can also be more inventive, in the form of veal Provençal. Vegetarians are asked to please contact the restaurant in advance so something special can be prepared. The enormous wine list will complement any meal. Rubbing shoulders with the town's cathedral, the renovated historic property entices with a castellated exterior, turreted and hued in pink. Inside, things get more stolid, with most of the action taking place in the main Rôtisserie room—a large chamber replete with cross-vaulted ceilings and modern chandeliers.

5. Blumenmarkt
$ | |Wood-and-steel furniture mixes with black painted walls and a fully stocked bar at this trendy St. Gallen café near the farmers' market. The house coffee (Huuskafi) here includes Appenzeller caramel vodka and whipped cream, and the tea comes from La Théirère in St. Gallen. You can pair either with croissants and Birchermüesli (Swiss oatmeal) to round out the perfect coffee break. The café features unusually long open hours, local flair, and locally sourced products. Add free Wi-Fi, and the only challenge here is finding an empty table.
Marktpl. 25, St. Gallen, Saint Gallen, 9000, Switzerland071-5354801Known For
- Local gathering place
- Delicious coffee
- Modern yet cozy atmosphere

6. Lagerhaus
$$ | |Prosecco-boiled risotto, octopus salad, tender pork steak—the Swiss-Italian fusion dishes make Lagerhaus well worth a visit. The spacious and elegant eatery attracts a stylish and chatty crowd that appreciates the giant outdoor terrace and the epic list of local and international wines.
Davidstr. 42, St. Gallen, Saint Gallen, 9000, Switzerland071-2237007Known For
- Steaks and seafood
- Attentive service
- Lively atmosphere

Rate Includes: Closed Sun. and Mon. No lunch Sat., Reservations essential -
7. Lokal
$$ | |The service at Lokal comes across as arrogant, but the food—savory onion soup, cordon bleu heaped with pomme frites, coq au vin, and mounds of fresh green salads—is surprisingly affordable and always excellent. Sunday brunch shouldn't be missed. Part of a former industrial complex that houses a contemporary art museum, cinema, and theater, Lokal is a hip restaurant inside a former locomotive hall. It's surrounded by a spacious terrace strewn with tables full of St. Gallen's Dior- and Swarvoski-clad set.

- Luxurious and unique decor
- Trendy atmosphere
- Fish and meat dishes

8. Zum Goldenen Schäfli
$$ | |Of the second-story restaurants that are St. Gallen's trademark, this is the most popular—its slanting floors groan under crowds of locals and tourists. The menu offers regional standards lightened up for modern tastes such as sirloin steak with peppercorn sauce, Spätzle, and seasonal vegetables. The low ceilings and rustic walls are all aged wood, and it's easy to imagine coach-and-four passengers lifting pewter steins here in centuries gone by.
Metzgerg. 5, St. Gallen, Saint Gallen, 9000, Switzerland071-2233737Known For
- Steaks and sausages
- Courteous service
