Gasthof Postwirt in Aschheim at the Hotel zur Post

Gasthof Postwirt in Aschheim (in the Hotel zur Post) with traditional German cuisine || I can't say it often enough: for me, there's simply nothing better than using my weekend to relax, enjoy myself, and "get out of Munich for a bit." That's why I'm always on the lookout for great culinary hotspots – preferably in the Munich area – because for me, enjoyment and relaxation are inextricably linked to good, high-quality food.

Through a recommendation from my friend, who also appreciates good (Bavarian) cuisine, I learned about the Gasthof Postwirt in Aschheim, not far from Munich, which is known for its honest, down-to-earth, yet high-quality food. No sooner said than done – my companion and I headed straight to Aschheim to get to know it and sample the offerings.

Get to know the Hotel zur Post in Aschheim

The history of the family-run Hotel zur Post in Aschheim stretches far back – more precisely, it began over 140 years ago, when farmer Johann Wagmüller established a beer tavern in his private living room in 1873 and named it "Zum Neuwirt" (The New Innkeeper). Almost 55 years later, in 1927, and by which time the "Neuwirt" had long been established as a popular Aschheim destination for food and drink, the Aschheim post office moved in as a tenant, and the inn "Neuwirt – Zur Post" was born.

Many milestones have driven the history of the Aschheim hotel. Since 2004, Anneliese and her son Otto Lindinger – a trained hotelier and restaurateur – have managed the hotel in Aschheim, including the Gasthof Postwirt inn. Today, with its approximately 75 comfortable and superior rooms, various conference rooms, and perfect venues for weddings, parties, and celebrations, the hotel is a popular hotspot in Aschheim. Whether you want to unwind, recover from a busy trade fair, or are looking for the ideal hotel and event setting for your celebrations – you've come to the right place. Combined with the excellent cuisine of the Gasthof Postwirt inn, the Hotel zur Post in Aschheim is a true all-rounder. Even those who simply want to enjoy a really good meal and are looking for a great inn in the Munich area will find everything they need here.

Besides good Bavarian beer, there are also various aperitifs to start the day.

The Gasthof Postwirt – Philosophy, Menu and Chef

My companion and I went for lunch on a Sunday. You should know that the Gasthof Postwirt is open from Sunday to Thursday, from 12 pm to 9:30 pm, serving hot food continuously. Behind the stove is the creative chef Kristof Rambausek, who is well-known from various (Munich) restaurants. The likeable chef had previously worked for the Kuffler Group for many years in various establishments, gaining valuable culinary experience there and in other renowned Munich restaurants. Together With his team, he now conjures up high-quality dishes as head chef, primarily known from Bavarian and traditional cuisine.

But besides classics like "Bavarian roast pork with crackling," "Wiener Schnitzel," "onion roast beef," and "Aschheim-style sauerbraten," the menu always features at least two appetizers, a soup, vegetarian dishes, and fish creations. Legendary and practically a must-try is the freshly made Kaiserschmarrn with raisins and almonds, which arrives at your table beautifully light and caramelized with apple compote.

In addition to the standard menu, there's also a weekly menu featuring soups and salads, main courses (such as pink-roasted duck breast, Munich-style schnitzel, or pulled pork burger), and desserts, as well as daily lunch specials from Monday to Thursday. A daily special is always available for under €15 between 11:30 am and 3:00 pm – a fair portion and really good, like everything else on the menu. It's also worth noting that the inn offers excellent value for money overall.

Vegetarian beetroot tartare with goat cheese cream – delicious!

My personal test including recommendation and conclusion

In that case, we're putting the cart before the horse and starting by raving about the dessert. The fluffy Kaiserschmarrn was one of the best I've eaten in my now well over 15-year-long "culinary career"—and I should mention that I know practically every Kaiserschmarrn in and around Munich. I can certainly count a handful of really good ones; the one from the Gasthof Postwirt is definitely among them. Now back to the beginning.

We started with two different aperitifs – a wheat beer spritzer, jazzed up with elderflower syrup, soda, and lime – and a berry spritzer with Prosecco, fresh berries, and syrup. The wheat beer spritzer was so delicious that we successfully recommended it to the arriving guests at the next table a little while later. Matching the colorful drinks in our glasses, my chosen appetizer also offered a vibrant palette, and I opted for the "vegetarian beetroot tartare with plenty of goat cheese cream and malted bread crumble" – a fantastic addition that further enhanced my already beloved combination of goat cheese and beetroot. My dining companion kept his appetizer a bit more classic, choosing the Postsuppe, a beef consommé with semolina dumplings, liver dumplings, and julienned vegetables – when, as here, it's well-made and homemade, it's almost always a winner.

Two main courses from the standard menu

For our main courses, we opted for "one meat, one fish," so I let my companion have the Aschheim-style sauerbraten made with Bavarian beef, red cabbage, bread dumplings, and crème fraîche. For the fish, I followed the chef's recommendation, which was made right at the table: five pan-fried king prawns with coconut-lime rice – an excellent choice, whose fresh citrus notes immediately evoked a feeling of springtime in me. (Perhaps it was also due to the delicate, already shelled prawns – extra thumbs up!). What the chef didn't know was that my companion is a real sauerbraten fanatic and not easily satisfied. However, since every single component on the plate received at least one "really good!", I couldn't resist trying it myself and afterwards absolutely had to ask the chef how he made such a delicious sauce.

I've already mentioned dessert; but I'd like to remind you again that you absolutely must come to Aschheim with an empty stomach, because leaving the Gasthof Postwirt without trying the Kaiserschmarrn would be a real sin.

Who knows, maybe you'll even see me dreamily enjoying my next Bavarian delicacy when you visit…
