The story
De Harmonie 23 delivers refined Swiss cuisine in the quiet town of Wil. This establishment marks the close of a sixteen year chapter as Marco Somer and Sabine Kromkamp prepare to step away. The founders cultivated a steady reputation for consistent quality before handing operations to Sander Semplonius and Floor. Their departure follows a planned succession strategy designed to protect the kitchen’s core philosophy. New leadership will build upon that foundation rather than disrupt it.
The 2026 Gault&Millau guide grants the restaurant fourteen points after thorough inspection. Critics highlighted the clear direction and reliable technique that characterize the current offerings. The score reflects a kitchen that values precision over fleeting trends. Guests encounter a menu where every component serves a specific purpose. This disciplined approach to Swiss cooking resonates with inspectors who prioritize substance.
Service has remained a priority throughout the venue’s history. Staff maintain a familiar rhythm that reduces friction between orders and delivery. Longstanding guests appreciate how the team remembers preferences and adjusts pacing accordingly. This continuity explains why the property earned such a high Gault&Millau rating despite leadership changes. The focus stays squarely on hospitality rather than decoration.
