My first Swiss Fondue experience was an immersive, cheerful, cheese-fest with great service, food, and drinks in a uniquely Swiss atmosphere. It's $26 CHF (Swiss Francs for my US readers) per person, and they bring you a boiling vat of cheese and a bucket of bread. The menu is basically a listing of what kind of cheese you want, along with some sharables and desserts. I have a deeply held, long-standing love for cheese. But, this experience tested even my limits. The rule is, you don't drink anything cold with it as it will harden the cheese in your system. Seems like a bit of an urban legend. But, the alternative is brandy and wine, which they bring in great quantities if you ask for it. The brandy shot is included. Ah, the Swiss :) The cheeses were delicious and the bread soft. We dipped and swirled with long forks. My only other Fondue experience was Simply Fondue in Texas, where you actually cook meats in hot oil. This was not that. Cheese only. We also tried some onion soup, which was wonderful and not at all like "French Onion Soup" as we call it in the US. Not even sure if that's really French. For dessert we ordered some fruit and a strawberry sorbet, also outstanding. Our server was happy and fun, walking us through our new experience. We shared it with some local friends, making for a memorable night. Highly recommended if you want some great local food! read more

Warning: this is the only game in town when it comes to fondue, so they are extremely busy. Came in on a Monday around 6:00, and was told there was no way to fit us in that night, but we could make a reservation for later that week. We did, and reserved 6:00 PM that Thursday (everything later was taken). We came in on time to our reservation, but found our waitress to be a bit on the unfriendly side. Although 95% of the tables had fondue, she seemed very put out by working, and she was difficult to track down when we wanted to order more wine (this is not by American standards, and we weren't yelling in English. I lived in Germany for two years, speak good German, and am accustomed to European service). The restaurant was very cozy. If you're a table of two you are likely to share your table with another party of two, and it's just warm and homey on the inside. The food was very good- we ordered fondue for two and a salad to share, and found that more than adequate in terms of amount of food. The prices were reasonable, although the wine was more than in other restaurants in the area. I've had fondue before and preferred that experience, but if you find yourself in St. Gallen, craving fondue, then this is a fine choice. read more

Like most other places in Switzerland, it was pretty pricey. For 6 of us to share a cheese fondue, small meat plate, 2 large waters, a beer and 3 kid's sandwiches it was about 130 swiss francs. The cheese fondue had a very strong alcohol flavor, so the kids wouldn't eat it and to be honest, the adults weren't digging it either. It ended up being a big waste... the restaurant was nice & clean and the service was good. I would recommend perhaps trying a small fondue before diving in and ordering a large one. read more

I visited this restaurant with friends and overall the experience was good. The highlight of the night for me was the perfect service, they ensured we were always good.

A great Place to eat Fondue in Ostschweiz! 9 times out of 10 (don't know what happened last time, but there was a problem with the cheese), the fondue was delicious and it is always a pleasure to go there with friends! Do of course book in advance, especially in winter, or you won't get seated. But it is "the" fondue place of St. Gallen! :) read more
