ST. GALLEN | Housed inside a castle that dates back to 1585, Gaststuben Zum Schlossli is a restaurant that’s dedicated to creating food with a sense of place. Only seasonal produce is used, and it’s all sourced from local, independent producers.
The food on the menu is traditional Swiss food, but with recipes that you won’t find elsewhere. Owner Ambros Wirth and his team make an effort to seek out long forgotten recipes from old texts, and even work with regional producers to try and bring back forgotten ingredients. The result of it all is a meal that’s truly unique.
One such ingredient is the blue St. Gallen potato, which used to be common in this part of the world but was forgotten over time, replaced by the ubiquitous white potatoes we all know. At Gaststuben Zum Schlossli, it’s used in a variety of dishes, such as a vibrant purple soup made using blue potatoes and blue potato schnapps, served with potato cakes, crispy smoked bacon, and the wafer-thin ravioli with a blue potato and Umbrian summer truffle filling.
Other highlights on the menu include the pan seared chicken with wild alpine berry sauce and white asparagus, and the dessert trio. It’s a selection of three seasonal desserts in tasting portion size, perfect for those who can’t decide which of the delicious desserts to try.
The wine list here is impressive, and features a good range of mostly local wines. There’s also a small selection of local lagers and craft beer, and a sizeable spirits cabinet.
