"Das Essen hier war wirklich sehr gut. Die Atmosphäre ist etwad aufgeregt und laut und auch die Kellner wirken teilweise etwas konfus. Der Service an sich war sehr freundlich, es gab nur keine richtige (oder zumindest für uns nicht ersichtliche) Einteilung der kellern auf die tische, dadurch wusste man nicht so recht, wen man ansprechen sollte. Ansonsten würden wir hier aber trotzdem jederzeit wieder hingehen und das Restaurant auch auf jeden fall weiterempfehlen!"

"Our group of six needed a late lunch. There was a big cycling event coming through town, so most of the restaurants were full. We walked down Wiener Strasse to find a small pizza place on the right (just past where you would turn to...go uphill to the Abbey, but on the other side of the narrow road . The service does not speak English and it looks like they cater to carry-out and a local crowd. We bought a couple of pizzas and a salad. Everything was great. Who ever heard of a kabab pizza? We entered begrudgingly (really? a pizza joint? but left very satisfied with this unique experience. The pizzas were huge, so beware of ordering the larger size!"

"Gasthofs all seem to have the same menu and there are only so many schnitsels you can eat, so we were all looking forward to eating here because of the great reviews. Koloman is going for the chic trendy look, but this doesn't really work...as it's clientel are neither chic nor trendy, it is a tourist burger joint. It is busy one though as many of the tables were reserved. We were shown to table which was much lower than the chair and people were having to eat dinner from their lap, it was also uncomfortably hot and people on neighboring tables were smoking which my wife hates, so we asked if we could eat inside as the other tables were busy or booked. This was so inconvenient for the waiter his sighs were embarrassing. In the end we were offered the table that was previously occupied by some staff. It was fine once we wiped away all the cigarette ash. The burgers are quite pricey for Austria and fries, sauce, onion rings are all extra. Not terrible, but not cheap for what you get. The burgers are pretty good, though not in my top 20. Good quality meat but a bit overcooked and dry, which may be why they arrived just a few minutes after ordering were they cooked before we ordered? We ordered cocktails, I love a margherita but you can't order a normal one here, you have to have a banana or kiwi one which is not cool, there didn't seem to be much booze in it either. We were out the door barely half an hour after arriving, we didn't really enjoy the ambience of the restaurant, the surly waiter, the cigarette smoke, or the beating sun which shooed us away before we could look at the desert menu. The burger was decent, and certainly better than burger chain fodder. Mostly, this place isn't half as cool as it thinks it is."

"I travelled from one country to another by plane - from Denmark to Austria. I travelled from one city to another by train - from Vienna to Krems an der Donau. I travelled from one small town to another by boat - from Stein to Melk. I travelled from the riverbank to the Melk Abbey on my two tired feet. All because I had read about the special patented Kolomanitorte developed and served in Stiftsrestaurant Melk. Yes, I am a cake afficionado who travels partly according to the pastries and other sweets the destinations offer.So I was happy when I finally reached Stiftsrestaurant Melk and saw photos of the cake of my Austrian dreams on every table of the restaurant. When the waiter came I could tell him right away that I was ready to order: "I would like to have the Kolomanitorte and a cup of coffee." "Oh, the torte is sold out," he replied calmly as if it could be of no importance. "Seriously?!" Well, yes, seriously! There was no Kolomanitorte with elderberry jam! I was about to panic; my travels had been for nothing! I felt betrayed and gravely dissapointed.The waiter was still totally calm and suggested I tried - what I think was called - the Benediktinertorte instead. I know myself well enough to know that a piece of cake can soothe my nerves, and this cake certainly did. It was delicious and all was well. Thanks to the calm waiter, the tasty walnutty Benedictine cake and the glorious blue sky above the spectacular abbey. Scandal avoided. Lovely experience taken in."

"We stayed in Melk for two nights in October in order to visit the Stift. Hotel zur Post is a family run, very friendly hotel. We had an excellent room overlooking the main square with a lovely view of the Stift. The room was clean, very comfortable, and breakfast was excellent. We had Dinner in the hotel's restaurant one night and thoroughly enjoyed it. Excellent cooking, varied menu, great service, good range of wines, lovely atmosphere. All in all a thoroughly enjoyable stay."
