Postalm in Alpbach is one of those places that immediately makes you feel welcome the moment you step inside. From the outside, it already has that cozy Austrian charm – wooden décor, warm lights, and the beautiful setting of Alpbach surrounding it. But what really sets it apart is not just the food or the atmosphere, it’s the staff. They are, without exaggeration, some of the most friendly and genuine people I’ve encountered in a restaurant.
Hospitality in Austria can sometimes feel a little formal, but here it is personal, relaxed, and full of warmth. You don’t feel like just another guest; you feel like they are truly happy you came in. They greet you with a smile, they take the time to explain the menu, and they make sure you have everything you need without ever being intrusive. That kind of attention makes the entire experience special.
The food is hearty and delicious, with all the Austrian classics you would expect: schnitzel, kaiserschmarrn, rich soups, and cold beers. Portions are generous, and everything is served with that combination of quality and comfort you want after a day in the mountains. Sitting outside on the terrace in summer is wonderful, but inside during winter it feels like the perfect mountain hut – warm, lively, and inviting.
But again, the memory I’ll keep is the way the staff treated us: laughing with us, checking in just at the right time, and making sure we felt like part of the place. In an area that already feels magical thanks to its scenery, Postalm adds the human touch that makes it unforgettable.

It is not cheap but well priced for the quality you're getting. The staff were very friendly and patient when we got their attention but sometimes we waited rather longer than expected. Very nice red wine was recommended and matched perfectly with the steak, the desert was neatly presented, at the end we even tried one of the many digestive...
Read moreBeen here both in summer and winter. The food is decent, and they have an extensive menu. But in high season this is not a good place for dinner. The staff is not friendly at all, they don't seem to like working there. The sound level is way too high for having a conversation, and smoke from the smoking room fills the restaurant.
On the other hand, if you would rather have drinks at the bar or smoke while eating, this may be the...
