The story
Netts Schützengarten has long been a fixture in Sankt Gallen – a family-run institution that remains modern and innovative. Housed within the grounds of Switzerland's oldest brewery, the restaurant occupies a brewery loft with exposed brick, a bar, gallery, and a cosy braustube. In summer, the beer garden under hop vines and amber trees becomes a green oasis in the city.
The kitchen team cooks with passion and imagination, coaxing the essence from every ingredient. They value origin and quality above all, finding the finesse in simple preparations and occasionally reinventing tradition. This approach to country cooking – rooted in Swiss and international traditions – earned the restaurant a Michelin Bib Gourmand for good quality, good value cooking. The menu changes regularly, offering uncomplicated classics alongside more inventive dishes.
Beyond the dining room, Netts Schützengarten is a versatile venue. The Jakobsaal can host events for up to 120 guests, while the terrace and beer garden accommodate smaller groups. The bar is a natural meeting point for an after-work beer or a glass from the extensive wine list. Catering services extend the kitchen's reach to off-site celebrations.
The restaurant sits within the Schützengarten brewery, and guests can book guided tours, tastings, and courses to explore the oldest brewery in Switzerland. It adds another dimension to a visit, connecting the food and drink directly to the place.
