Huynh Thi Dieu Anh in Taunusstein

The ambiance is a bit understated, but the service and delicious food make up for it.

The kitchen is great. But food isn't available until 6 p.m. It's not listed on Google.

Excellent schnitzel, large portions, and very friendly staff. We'll be back!

I recently spontaneously visited the Alte Post after a hike with a friend: Such a traditional restaurant was exactly what I was looking for in this situation – unfortunately, there aren't many of them anymore. (Comparable is the "Jägerheim" in Bad Schwalbach.) We were greeted at the door first by the owner's friendly dog, who roamed the dining room the whole time, then by the extremely friendly and welcoming Polish proprietor himself. There was no service that day; the waitress was ill, the proprietor is disabled, and we had to pick up our order at the counter. No problem, I'm happy to forgive the nice old man. There was no menu: As I later discovered, there's a significantly outdated one online with prices that are no longer in line with today's standards; the owner hasn't had a current one printed yet. So we had to order based on verbal information, without knowing the prices. My vegetarian friend asked for something meatless and got French fries with hunter's sauce (surely from a packet) and salad. I had a paprika schnitzel and a large pilsner. The schnitzel was at least freshly pounded (you could hear the banging from the kitchen), but it was apparently cooked cheaply in a deep fryer. The paprika sauce was, of course, a rather sugary, ready-made product, the French fries were factory-made, and the iceberg lettuce with cucumber and tomato was also topped with ready-made dressing – at least it was finished with fresh dill. The portions were large, and we were full – which fulfilled the main purpose of the visit. The unpleasant surprise came when paying: the proprietor charged me €24.50 for the schnitzel and a beer. This is a rip-off: €20 for a schnitzel with ready-made sauce and industrial fries (and with self-service) is significantly higher than the regional standard. So, the verdict is mixed: The friendly proprietor and his friendly dog ​​were worth the visit. The lack of a menu was annoying, and the value for money was inadequate.

Very tasty, very friendly and attentive staff, pleasant ambience, heating radiators on the terrace
