Gass 17 : Hauptgasse 17, 9050 Appenzell

The open grill 🔥 is an eye catcher, and the staff friendly and helpful . We had the cheese and meat platter which was very tasty. Then the chef's burger 🍔 with beer bun. The meat was delicious, but the bun too chewy for my taste. Desert was Three kinds of sweet delicacies with an espresso. Highly recommended 👍🏼 😀

Just arrived in precious Appenzell looking for a place to have lunch. I find this darling place a few steps from my hotel and sit outside in perfectly sunny weather. I order the chicken 🐓 breast with potatoes. My darling and friendly server doing her very best to speak a bit of English, brings a platter of sauces, from Chimmichurri to chutney, herb butter and spicy ketchup. I’m immediately impressed. The chicken arrives artistically presented and perfect prepared. Crispy skin, juicy and moist. Combined with the sauces and the luscious potatoes, I’m convinced this is by far the best meal I’ve had over the past month traveling around Europe. The coffee is also delicious. Very well done Gass 17 👏🇨🇭

We visited this restaurant for the first time. We arrived around past 5 p.m. and were given the option to choose between the lunch and dinner menus. We opted for the hamburger with French fries, same option was available on both menus. For drinks, we opted for tap water, which was 300 ml and priced at CHF 2 for two people. The hamburger with French fries cost CHF 21.50 per person. Tbh, the fries were not what we had anticipated. They were extremely thin, almost as if they were made from potato powder? As for the hamburgers, we expected a hamburger bun since the name clearly indicated “hamburger,” but ours resembled a sandwich more than a hamburger. If you’re a fan of the classic American-style hamburgers, this place might not be your cup of tea. The meat here has a distinct taste of spices, leaning towards vegan meat?, which might not be to everyone’s liking. Despite these minor disappointments, the overall atmosphere of the restaurant was pleasant, and the staff were friendly and nice.
