The story
In the quiet village of Heppingen, part of Bad Neuenahr-Ahrweiler, Steinheuers Landgasthof Poststuben embodies the best of German country cooking. The Steinheuer family, known for their two-Michelin-starred restaurant “Zur Alten Post” just next door, runs this rustic inn with the same commitment to regionality and tradition – but in a more relaxed, welcoming setting.
The kitchen draws inspiration from the Ahr Valley and its down-to-earth recipes. Local products and a diversity of flavours come together in hearty, satisfying dishes, served with genuine warmth. The restaurant has earned a Michelin Recommended award, 16 Gault Millau points, and recognition as one of the best country inns in Germany by Falstaff and Feinschmecker.
“We cultivate tradition and modernity at the same time,” the family says. The cuisine is rooted in the region, yet the cooking is precise and thoughtful. The atmosphere is that of a classic Landgasthof – comfortable, with outdoor seating available in warmer months, an interesting wine list, and private rooms for gatherings. It’s a place where the Steinheuer values of passion, family, and regionality are tangible at every table.
For those seeking classic cuisine and country cooking in a setting that feels both timeless and alive, Steinheuers Landgasthof Poststuben is a destination in itself.
