Gasthaus Linde - Appenzell

Very good food. Can get busy at lunch so expect to share a table, which is the best way to interact with locals! True to the reviews, service takes a while but is worth the wait.

Great restaurant full of locals with great local food, good cheer, and warm hospitality by the owner Regula. Appenzell is a bit of a tourist Mecca/trap so it was fantastic to find something real in the other worldly environment.

Our family took us there and it was a great choice, the food was lovely not overpriced and the service was very good .A great place for lunch on a sunny day

Just barely off the large square in town, the zur Linde offers a small outdoor (in good weather) area to eat and drink and a typical Swiss and Appenzell interior. Every Wednesday in the evening around 7 or so, a group of local folks come in and socialize and sing older Appenzeller songs all a capella. Their voices are strong and sweet and it is a wonderful way to get a sense of the area and its hard-working people. The food is, by the way, some of the best Swiss fare you will find anywhere. Chicken with morels? Kalbsbratwurst with rosti? Spaetzli? Send me in, coach!

We ate here two nights out of a three night stay, that is how good it is. Good prices compared to other restaurants/hotels. The Rosti with Bratwurst is excellent. The owner is a lovely lady who speaks many languages.
