  • 1. Berggasthaus Aescher-Wildkirchli

    $$

    This is a mountain restaurant where you come for the views and stay for the Rösti, Appenzell cheese dishes, and cervelat (Swiss sausage). Since it's accessible only by cable car plus a 20-minute hike, you'll have earned your meal at this cliff-side café, which sits at the top of the Appenzeller Alps. Here, you'll be treated not only to sweeping views of the cool green valley below, but to meringue-topped vanilla ice cream. Credit cards only accepted for bills over SF50.

  • 3. 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.

  • 4. 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.

  • 5. Wirtschaft zum Frieden

    $$

    Dating back to 1789, this cozy and centrally local favorite offers three delightful settings: a small Stübli (Swiss pub) full of waxed and weathered wood, a graceful tile-stove dining room with antiques, and a private garden thick with wisteria and luxuriant trees. Specialties include hearty dishes such as beef with white asparagus, and buttered Rösti with goat cheese.
