The story
At Post in St. Johann in Tirol, owners Maximilian and Sigrid Blumschein have spent the last decade refining traditional Tyrolean inn cooking into a disciplined Haubenküche. Their steady approach earned a 12.5 score from Gault&Millau in 2026, recognizing how the kitchen honors established regional foundations while introducing precise seasonal variations. Chef Benjamin Leitner anchors the daily service while Maitre d' Andrea Dulic-Schiemer guides the floor, creating a consistent rhythm behind the pass.
The menu highlights locally sourced ingredients through straightforward preparations that define this style of classic Wirtshaus cuisine. Diners frequently order the Fieberbrunner Saiblingsfilet or the Pesto-Erdäpfel-Tascherl, both reflecting a clear preference for clean flavor profiles over complex layering. A notably extensive wine list supports these plates with careful regional pairings.
Stepping past the main entrance reveals an interior built around the conscious contrast between old masonry and contemporary fixtures. The space sits directly within the pedestrian zone of St. Johann, allowing guests to transition instantly from mountain trails to a polished table. Sustainability runs through the property’s operations, evidenced by their Austrian Environmental Award certification for energy efficiency and waste management systems.

Post inns have a long tradition in Austria. The Post in St. Johann dates back to 1224. An impressive history. Even for Tyrol. Maximilian and Sigrid Blumschein took over the Post in 2016. Their tenth anniversary is now approaching. During their first decade at the inn, the two have done a wonderful job. Alongside solid classics of traditional Austrian pub cuisine, the menu features dishes such as Fieberbrunn Arctic char fillet or pesto potato dumplings. Simply the finest.
