What is it?
The restaurant of the Hotel zur Post, a house of the Ebner family on the street leading off Melk's main square. Traditional Austrian cooking, with a reasonably priced dish of the day at midday, a short menu in the afternoon and a full menu in the evening. The Baroque dining room has frescoed ceilings.
When to go?
It is the practical place to eat after Melk Abbey: you come down from the abbey to the centre in a few minutes. It is open Tuesday to Sunday; closed on Mondays. Out of season (from February to Easter) it serves lunch only, and on Sunday until 15:00. It also serves breakfast to non-residents.
How does it fit into the day?
If you do the Wachau by train and boat, Melk is the western end: you arrive from Vienna by train, see the abbey in the morning, eat here and take the afternoon boat downriver to Krems.
What to order: the Mittagsteller (midday dish of the day) or a schnitzel; in autumn, the goose, and for dessert something with apricot.
