Traditional cuisine in the "Schlössli" restaurant
The "Schlössli" restaurant at the Spisertor in St. Gallen can rightly call itself a Swiss institution. Host Ambros Wirth emphasises the tradition of the castle, which was built between 1586 and 1590. Among other things, the restaurant serves almost forgotten regional classics, such as St. Gallen blue potatoes and Ribelmais corn, with a modern twist.
This regionality runs through the entire menu: whatever is in season in north-east Switzerland is served fresh from the market at the "Schlössli" in St. Gallen.
