Metzgerei Gemperli / Bratwurst & Bowls
St. Gallen, Switzerland
The most iconic bratwurst stand in St. Gallen. Located on Schmiedgasse in the old town, Gemperli has been grilling OLMA Bratwurst and Schüblig since the 1940s, drawing long queues of locals and visitors. Now also operates as 'Bratwurst & Bowls' with an expanded menu, but the classic Bratwurst with Bürli remains the star.
Sausages from Metzgerei Gemperli / Bratwurst & Bowls
Schüblig
St. Gallen, Switzerland
The Schüblig is a smoked, scalded pork sausage from Eastern Switzerland — a staple of everyday Swiss cuisine. Slightly curved, with a distinctive deep reddish-brown skin and a satisfying snap, it's scored crosswise before grilling or pan-frying, creating its characteristic split-open look. Simpler and heartier than its famous cousin the St. Galler Bratwurst, the Schüblig is the workday sausage — reliable, smoky, and deeply comforting.
St. Galler Bratwurst
St. Gallen, Switzerland
The St. Galler Bratwurst (also known as Olma Bratwurst) is a fine-textured, white veal and pork sausage from St. Gallen in Eastern Switzerland. What makes it unique is the addition of fresh milk, which gives it a remarkably smooth, almost creamy texture. It carries IGP (Protected Geographical Indication) status — only sausages produced in the greater St. Gallen region can bear the name.
