Fodor's Expert Review Zum Goldenen Schäfli

Of the second-story restaurants that are St. Gallen's trademark, this is the most popular—its slanting floors groan under crowds of locals and tourists. The menu offers regional standards lightened up for modern tastes such as sirloin steak with peppercorn sauce, Spätzle, and seasonal vegetables. The low ceilings and rustic walls are all aged wood, and it's easy to imagine coach-and-four passengers lifting pewter steins here in centuries gone by.
