Eastern Switzerland Restaurants

Restaurants in this region are often in centuries-old structures that have been home to some kind of eatery (in a few occasions under the same name) for 200 or even 300 years. This is especially true of Schaffhausen's Wirtschaft zum Frieden, which dates back to 1789, or St. Gallen's Schlössli, located inside a small castle built in 1586. But architecture doesn't determine the style; you'll find everything from formal linen-tablecloth service to a laid-back country kitchen atmosphere in eastern Switzerland's restaurants. The same dress code applies as in the rest of the country: clean jeans and a pressed shirt are preferable to a smelly jacket and tie.
