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

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

This modern, urban restaurant on the edge of the old town is dedicated to the Alpine region. Exquisite seasonal ingredients take centre stage in the ambitious evening "Genussreise" , a five-course "gourmet journey" complemented by amuse-bouches and optional cheese trolley. Additionally, à la carte options and a three-course surprise menu are available. Dishes such as pike dumplings with caviar sauce and Sevelen Wagyu with creamy celeriac purée and truffle perfectly showcase Markus Schenk's sophisticated yet pleasingly down-to-earth take on classic cuisine. The service is friendly and adept. Th

Jägerhof is an establishment steeped in culinary history! Since 2016, former sous-chef Agron Lleshi has been at the helm, delivering modern seasonal cuisine that seeks inspiration in the local region and abroad. Diners can opt for an ambitious three- to eight-course menu (the truffle course has been a signature dish for years) or order à la carte. At lunchtime, things are somewhat simpler. The chef's mother makes the fresh bread rolls. A sleek, elegantly pared-down interior design of soothing, warm tones and modern lines creates a welcoming atmosphere. Professional service is provided by a tea

Perched 1 083m above sea level and reached by a steep, narrow path, this place is a little slice of heaven!

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.

You may be surprised to discover such a fine place in a business park, but you will immediately be transported to the Mediterranean. You can enjoy an aperitif in the relaxed lounge looking out over the pretty garden. Martin Benninger cooks up classic cuisine with a Mediterranean twist. Stripping a dish down to its essence does not mean sacrificing depth of flavour – take, for instance, the carpaccio of just-caught scampi paired with a delicately tangy champagne butter, shavings of raw mushroom and fresh chives. The interior is modern and elegant – in summer, with its glass front open, the cons
