"The long table occupied by 19 or 20 diners suggested that this might be a popular neighborhood eatery, just a block or two away from the Abbey of St. Gall. We checked the menu posted and noted a listing of spargel season specialties we were sold! We...were comfortably seated by one of the small front windows overlooking a window box full of bright red geraniums. The narrow dining room was nearly full by the time we left, with the staff rearranging tables and chairs to accommodate additional parties of six to ten (plus the 19 or 20 still enjoying their leisurely dinner . Now that we 've had dinner at Zeughaus, we know why patrons were pouring in: Excellent food and charming service. Neither of us speak much German (Swiss or otherwise , but our patient server, knowing a bit of English, was an attentive and able assistant, despite dealing with a nearly full house. The spargel that is, asparagus (both white and green is now in season in this part of Switzerland and featured by many restaurants in the area. My choices of asparagus soup followed by asparagus risotto were delicious just perfect. A mixed salad and glass of a local kloster beer rounded out my meal. My spouse opted for the mixed salad, a local wurst with zwiebelsauce (onion sauce and rosti, plus a tall glass of weizen bier. We would be more than happy to return to try other menu items (although it would be hard to pass up another round of the asparagus! , and would eagerly recommend Restaurant Zeughaus to other St. Gallen visitors."
