As a town, Buchs SG is nothing to write home about. However, thanks to Guide Michelin, I had dinner in this charming restaurant - great food and friendly service in a relaxed atmosphere.I sat in the dining room: an awesome masterpiece, nicely decorated, with much room between tables. It surely is cozy in winter, but do not sit there on a hot summer evening - I sweated profusely during the whole dinner!The menu puts focus on freshly prepared regional and seasonal produce. I began with smoked salmon and tuna carpaccio served with a mango chutney - a light and delicious starter on a warm day. As main course I chose the fillet of beef served with roesti and vegetables. The portion proved really generous, the meat tender and perfectly prepared. The chef really knows his job, you can taste that no convenience product is used. As dessert I had the tiramisu with pear sorbet: truly to die for!As said above the staff was very friendly, but unfortunately very slow too. 40 minutes between arrival and the starter! I appreciate the garden terrace was full that evening, but the other dining rooms were nearly empty. Although I had generously planned 2,5 hours for dinner, I had no time for coffee as I had to run for the train!Swiss price level is unfortunately very high and Traube makes no exception: the bill amounted to CHF95
