Brats from Sternen Grill are TRULY "the best of the wurst." (They serve rotisserie chicken too, but I haven't gotten around to those yet...) Choose between their signature St. Galler Bratwurst made of veal and pork, or the Servelat which is a thicker red sausage made entirely of pork. Both are fantastic and served beautifully grilled & piping hot. Whatever... More

So said our 16 year old son, which is high praise indeed! Stick to the wonderful bratwurst and crusty burli, be prepared to sneeze when you taste the essential hot mustard, don't blanche at the SF5 for a bottle of water, and enjoy a true taste of Zurich, for insiders and tourists alike.

Should you decide to give them a visit based in previous reviews - you will find that the house has disappeared. What remains - in an altered american Camper mind you - is the legandary Rosaly's Vorderer Sternen Grill - parken on the also legendäre "Sechsläuten - Wiese" on the otherside of the road. Thank God they are still open... More

Now in the temporary setting of a tent, the Vorderer Sternen seems to do even better. Buy from the grill there and eat at the lake shore. Fast and friendly. The real one.

If you are in Zurich until spring 2011, you should visit this traditional Restaurant at Zurich's Bellevue place. It's there since ages and is doomed now to be demolished. It's facing the same fate as many historic Zurich sites as in the biggest city in Switzerland truly "money makes the world go round" - and not culture or pleasure. The... More

I went with my fiancee in order to celebrate our anniversary and in spite of the fact that we had booked early in the morning and arrived at the restaurant 10 minutes before the reserved time... we were offered the poorest table in the house. When we asked for a different table (several were free and unreserved) they treated us... More

No other place is so famous like this restaurant for the typical Swiss Bratwurt of St.Gallen. The place is divided in 2 parts. On the main building there is a very good restaurant, where you can eat very well (quite posh - it’s not cheap but the quality of the food is incredibly good, and the service is perfect). On... More

Good food but somewhat overpriced. Good Wine list and ok prices. Friendly service. A big minus: smoking is allowed...
