Restaurant
Gass 17
Appenzell

Beechwood fire gives Gass 17 its culinary identity. This restaurant on Appenzell’s Hauptgasse combines an open wood grill with a wood stove and oven, using different forms of live fire across its cooking. Steaks, chicken and grilled vegetables share the kitchen’s attention, with regional meat and seasonal vegetables forming the foundation of the menu. The grill brings a smoky character to the food, while selected dishes are cooked on the stove or baked in the oven. The restaurant names its suppliers’ locations unusually precisely: firewood, milk, cheese and its farmer’s pork chop come from Appenzell and Gais, trout comes from Wasserauen, and chicken breast comes from Weissbad. Vegetarian dishes also have a stated place on the menu. Alongside the regular restaurant offering, the house runs a make-your-own pizza occasion, where guests choose their toppings and the kitchen bakes the result in the wood oven; takeaway is available for that offering. Wine comes from a selection of international growing regions, and the bar provides another way to enjoy the house over drinks with friends. Outside, the terrace faces the activity of Poststrasse. Sergio Fässler, a qualified sommelier, leads the business with chef Marco Koller. Opened in March 2012, the restaurant grew from the Fässler family’s idea for a lively meeting place combining straightforward food with a bar. Tables can be reserved online or by telephone.
