"Wir können es nur wärmstens weiter empfehlen. Wir waren das erste mal 2022 dort nach unserer Wanderung auf den Pfänder. Uns wurden die Käsespatzen empfohlen weil die so Affen Geil seien. Wir wurden auch nicht enttäuscht. Die Käsespatzen sind mit Abstand die besten die wir jeher gegessen haben. Jetzt waren wir 07/2023 wieder dort und die Herzlichkeit des gesamten Teams ist immer noch so grandios wie 2022. Der Service ist einer der besten zugleich keineswegs Aufdringlich. Das Essen ist grandios egal was wir oder unsere Freunde hatten es war sehr gut. Auch der Ausblick über Bregenz und Teile des Bodensees sind atemberaubend. Macht weiter so wir kommen immer wieder. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5"

"The Old Post is a bit from the Rummel. Restaurant and hotel in one, but we only ate. Circa 15 cozy walk from the port of Lindau you have to go there. Many tables are decorated in front of the corner house with sturdy chairs. Inside it is also sturdy and traditionally decorated. You're sitting in a quiet area with a car traffic, but it doesn't matter to you. The advantage for car drivers is, of course, that the parking spaces are opposite. We reserved 6:00, there's something going on. Reservation is highly recommended! For us (12 people), the prepared table is still spontaneously extended by a small table so that we do not sit too tight. Then we will be supplied with cards, food and drinks separated. Above is the sausage salad, there are cakes, ice cream, soups, salads, noodles, meat, mules and sausage. So really a great deal, for every tour. The dishes are available in sizes normal and slightly smaller. If you say nix, there is the normal part. This portion size is also sufficient for normal hunger. I was a little experimental tonight and ordered the Wiener Schnitzel with pommes and salad. As a drink a regional beer: Lindauer Hell; delicious. Half for 4 euros. The operation took everything fleeting and well-launated, very neat on a big note with a line list. First the salads came, from size okay. After a waiting period, the main courts came. Only one had to be asked (baked turkey carving). I guess the kitchen was a little slower or the service missed it while picking up. Two medium-sized Wiener Schnitzel with good charge Pommes. Majo and ketchup are available on additional plates in small portion bags. Okay, cost 14.60 euros, normal in Lindau. For the ladies there was Ladysteak, 150 g turkey breast for 14.50 euros. For others a grill plate, steaks of beef, pig, turkey for 16.50 euros. Everyone was happy, nobody complained about food. There was room for Dessert. Vanilla ice cream with rumpot fruit and cream. But still find something to try. The ice part comes in a heart-shaped shell, the rum fruits extra. To gradually spoons. Rum was not saved, strong mix for 7.60 euros. Taste. We didn't regret the visit, we were looking good. The prices are of course higher because of a small piece."

"Another entry into the list of Things that are Awesome about Austria, in a small town (a suburb of Bregenz, essentially that is part of the eastern Bodensee resort scene. We showed up without a reservation, and were seated in the pleasant garden, the tables far apart to ensure privacy in conversation and discreet movement by the staff, always a good sign in a better restaurant. We were offered a refreshing shot of watermelon juice at the start good, although more usual between dishes in a longer menu. We started with seafood: a superb combination of tuna, greens, and veal (unexpectedly good, and the preparation of the tuna put to shame many establishments supposedly specialising in seafood ; and an octopus based dish, which did not enthral Mr A, who objected to the combination with mussels. (Is this a central European thing? The closer you go to the Mediterranean, the simpler the serving of octopus: it has a delicate flavour, and does not require much done to it. If it had been served as in the other starter, it would be better, he said. For our mains we went for rib eye steaks with chimi churry (sic which we both found excellent: cooked to a perfect medium rare, with just the right amount of bite in the centre too often restaurants do a medium rare with the core of the meat nearly raw, which misses the point: a good medium rare locks the flavour in; if you slice it and too much seeps out, it's not done properly. Mr A declared the accompanying skin on potatoes were very good. I should have asked why the beef was imported from the US; Austria has amazing local beef (the Vorarlberg pastures are just round the corner! . We finished off with a delicate combination of chocolat,e pistachio, and cherries (for myself and an caloric explosion of ice cream and hot chocolate for Mr A. The Merlot recommended was just right for the meat, the espresso was decent, and the service was excellent. The prices are on the expensive side: our three course meal with only two glasses of wine and a soft drink cost as much as I'd expect the same meal with a whole bottle of good wine to cost. But, hey: you get what you pay for, and this was worth it. We'd go again, happily."

"The family who own this small hotel are delightful to say the least. The rooms are lovely and clean, the beds are comfortable and not rock hard (which most hotels Europe seem to be). Even more amazing is how reasonable the room prices are, given...the high standard of accommodation. The breakfast is plentiful and very tasty as well. We have had dinner in the restaurant many times now and each time it has been excellent. Thomas owns this delightful hotel and also happens to be the most creative chef. He has won many awards for his food and we love eating here so much that we are now regular visitors. We highly recommend this hotel and restaurant- you won’t be disappointed!"

"Exquisite Küche aus Sardinien! Sensationell umgesetzte Fischrezepte von Francesca (einer echten Sardin), beste hausgemachte sardische (!) Pasta von Luisa (einer echten Sardin) und dazu ein Küchenchef Jacopo (ein echter Sarde), der nebenbei noch das sichertlich weltweit beste sardische Brot backt! Das alles mit hochwertigsten Zutaten (und einem entsprechenden Weinangebot), die (der) direkt von kleinen Bauern uind Anbietern aus Sardinien importiert wird.Dabei muss man beachten, dass die sardische Küche eine sehr eigene Küche ist und nichts mit italienischer Pizza/Pasta zu tun hat.Ach ja ... Kinder sind für eine sardische Familie das i-Tüpfelchen - sie werden als Bereicherung gesehen!Und noch ein Hinweis: Luisa und Jacopo sind seit Mitte/Ende April dort als Partner eingestiegen!"
