This quintessential Appenzell building looks inviting from the outside, and the interior is equally stylish. Come and savour Silvia Manser's cuisine, which is based on carefully selected ingredients, in a pleasingly simple yet upscale setting. In her four- to seven-course menu – available in both vegetarian and non-vegetarian versions – she brings together modern interpretations of classic cuisine with Mediterranean influences and occasionally incorporates Middle Eastern and Asian accents. Her talent for combining boldness with finesse is evident in dishes such as "tuna tataki, mango, onion, c

In this first-floor restaurant, wood panelling and low ceilings create a snug and welcoming atmosphere, perfectly matched by seasonal cuisine made with fresh produce and brimming with flavour. The menu is sure to whet the appetite, with options such as veal liver with onions, sage und rösti, vegetarian loaf with mashed potatoes, carrots and creamy mushroom sauce, and the classic Chateaubriand (for two or more diners). The meat comes from the restaurant's own butchery. For overnight stays, there are well-appointed, modern guestrooms. Convenient: The tram to St Gallen stops right nearby.

On the fifth floor of the renowned Hotel Einstein, chefs Sebastian Zier and Richard Schmidtkonz propose an international set menu showcasing exceptional precision and culinary artistry. The four to six courses are built on ingredients of the highest quality, thoughtfully composed without any gimmicks. The result: elegant yet bold dishes such as the superb pike-perch from Lake Maggiore, cooked to perfection and served with wonderfully al dente beluga lentils, cucumber salad and sauerkraut, as well as velvety horseradish foam. If you would like a vegetarian alternative, it's best to mention this

Perched 1 083m above sea level and reached by a steep, narrow path, this place is a little slice of heaven! The pretty inn with a wood-panelled interior exudes regional charm and boasts a view of the mountains or the lake, plus a wonderful terrace. Walter Klose cooks up aromatic classic cuisine that follows the seasons and marries finesse with a certain unpretentiousness. This winning combination yields genuine feel-good dishes of superior quality – the liver dumpling soup, for example, is notable for its full-bodied flavour, harmonious seasoning and elegant finish. When it comes to the servic

The restaurant run by brothers Benjamin and David Geisser is a really chic spot with its impressive architecture over two storeys and imposing bar that immediately draws the eye. The upscale design featuring warm wood finishings, elegant gold accents and sophisticated dark tones is in keeping with the calibre of the dedicated front-of-house team and the ambitious, refined food. The cuisine does not confine itself to any one style: this is cooking inspired by the region but also with a cosmopolitan outlook.

Dorfstuba is the name of the restaurant at the design-led boutique hotel Dorfhus Gupf, which stands out right in the centre of the village with its striking appearance. Service is provided by a friendly and attentive team, and the charming setting has a modern, Alpine feel. A particular focal point is the open kitchen with its prominent asado grill, on which whole fish and special cuts of meat are prepared. However, the Wiener schnitzel, braised beef cheeks or fish curry are also well worth trying. Sommelier Johannes Fitz is on hand to recommend the perfect wine from the fantastic list, which
