After a long travel day, I wanted to sit down to a comfortable and delicious meal. The Gasthaus was just perfect. Excellent food, a great Bier and the dessert was heavenly.

Restaurant Burg

Reviewed By mbgrinnan - Richmond, Virginia

I had a fantastic evening at this lovely resto in July. We were seated at a table on the covered patio and treated to a memorable sunset. We enjoyed attentive, friendly service from the owners and the food was delicious AND interesting.
I highly recommend Restaurant Burg.

Restaurant Gletscherhugel

Reviewed By Farogin - Walzenhausen, Switzerland

Wir schauen immer wieder gerne im Gletscherhügel vorbei. Das Essen ist lecker, die Bedienung freundlich.
Zu empfehlen ist auf jeden Fall das Filet auf dem heissen Stein! Da wurden wir noch nie enttäuscht. Zu wenig Pommes? Kein Problem, da gibt's sofort Nachschlag!
Einziger Wermutstropfen: Die Saucen sind (noch?) nicht selbstgemacht...

Restaurant Paul's

Reviewed By Jackson9305 - Switzerland

Paul’s is a lovely restaurant hidden in an unlikely section of an industrial zone in Widnau. If you’re not familiar with the area, you’ll need a navigational system or good instructions to find it. There is plenty of free parking next to the restaurant and the new Paul’s Hotel, which however is despite its name is not related to the restaurant.
There is a lovely garden where you can sit outside in clement weather. Inside, the decoration is in warm, friendly, neutral tones. Our waitresses were quite friendly.
We had a beautifully created salad, beef filet, and lamb, as well as a small bottle of wine. For dessert we chose various sorbets, each one better than the last. All of the food was delicious and attractively served.
We have one major complaint: we had to wait unusually long for our food. It took at least 30 minutes to get the salad (fortunately there were some bread and dips to nibble on beforehand), another 30 or so for the main courses, and we didn’t get dessert until 40 minutes after having ordered it. This despite the restaurant being only about ¾ full.
Even though our table was well inside and toward the back, mosquitoes sensed my presence and I was bitten at least ten times on the legs. Note to self: next time wear trousers and socks!
Despite the long wait we would be willing to return to Paul’s and give them another chance, as the rest of the dining experience was top-notch and worthy of five stars.

Reviewed By Gourmet_T23 - Swiss Alps, Switzerland

Hatte vor vielen Jahren einmal eine Empfehlung gelesen, nun hat es endlich einmal geklappt, hervorragendes Essen zu angemessenen Preisen, netter Sevice, einzig fiel auf, dass das Servicepersonal wegen einer Feier irgendwann nicht mehr so präsent war und nur noch bedingt nachkam, Fazit: Zeit mitbringen und geniessen

Restaurant Ochsen

We were a little put off by the old look of the place but were very surprised by the quality of the food. The locals obviously approve and so do we! Traditional "Beiz" menu, but with fresh ingrediants. Try the cordon bleu :)

Die Speisen waren einfach nur schlecht. Die Bedienung unqualifiziert und überfordert. Das Pöstli-Snack ist schlicht und einfach nur noch zum Abreisen geeignet.

Roessli Romenschwanden

Reviewed By alaska65 - Widnau

Ja gut, wir sind immer wieder im Rössli. Etwas versteckt in der Höhe und nahe der Reben ist es ein Ort an welchem wir uns daheim fühlen. Sucht ihr ein gepimmptes Lokal dann ist es wohl weniger die Wahl doch gutes Landessen oder ein tolles Cordonbleu lockt immer wieder. Normal würde ich das essen nicht bezeichnen denn für mich ist der Koch auf einem sehr guten Weg. Metzgete (Schlachtpartie, Schlachtessen) ist Anfang Herbst immer ein Grund um unbedingt hinzugehen.
Aber ehrlich: Wir brauchen keinen Grund!
Für Events gibt es verschiedene Möglichkeiten und erst kürzlich wurde ein Schuppen neu hergerichtet.

Gaucho

Reviewed By tompi777 - aaa

Was visiting a friend in the lake of constance area and had a craving for a big steak. So he took me to this factory-canteen kind of place in the middle of nowhere in a town that I didn't know existed. The atmosphere is..., ok I said it before, like in a lunchroom.
But the steaks..., god I swear... it was worth the visit: i took the 500 gram sirloin ("entrecote"), rare, and they served it on a boiling hot plate...., wow..., great quality (Argentinian), the sides were good, and they had an excellent wheat beer to flush it down.
And really not expensive for 500 g of Argentinian meat.
Go there, if you are ever in the area.
