Zur Post

Hotel‑Restaurant Zur Post in Sankt‑Vith is a family-run restaurant on site begun as a 19th‑century coaching inn, rebuilt after 1944, reopening in 1950. Arno and Ingrid Pankert transform it into fine‑dining in the 1970s; it has held an uninterrupted Michelin star since 1976 and is run by third‑generation Carina and Eric Pankert. Carina Pankert decorates the dining rooms and oversees front-of-house, creating a warm, attentive, cozy and calm atmosphere; when weather permits guests dine on a renovated terrace beneath a heated, louvered pergola, and an idyllic heated lounge serves smokers. The cuisine combines tradition and French haute cuisine with frequent reinterpretations of regional dishes; dishes are characterful, well‑balanced, marrying aesthetic presentation with taste. Eric Pankert (born 1968) is Master Chef with extensive international experience in top houses; his cooking blends rigour and refinement of French haute cuisine with reinterpretations of regional dishes and global flavours. Monthly seasonal menus; set surprise and composed lunch menus; midweek 4‑course surprise with wine pairings; Friday 3‑course lunch. An extensive cellar of roughly 500 bottles gathered through regular producer visits across Europe underpins programme.
