The story
Paulaner am alten Postplatz serves authentic Bavarian fare in Stuttgart inside a stately Baroque palace built in 1747. The management recently converted the entire dining room to operate without smoking to improve air quality for regulars and staff. Birgit Grupp and Matthias Rohr oversee operations with an emphasis on reliable hospitality. Wooden furnishings and high ceilings keep the volume manageable while preserving the building’s historic footprint.
The kitchen balances timeless recipes with seasonal market ingredients. Tuesday specials frequently feature hausgemachte Maultaschen tossed with fried chanterelles and a light herb cream sauce. A pretzel crusted pork schnitzel rests in a dark beer reduction beside green beans and potato croquettes. The Schlemmer Atlas awarded a single ladle to this spot in 2026 for maintaining such a disciplined menu.
Hearty meat dishes dominate the evening lineup. Regulars often request Schweinshaxe accompanied by leberknödel and Zwiebelrostbraten when the weekly board lists them. A smoked sausage platter arrives with pickled onions, hard boiled eggs, and freshly grated horseradish. Dessert relies on a dense chocolate fondant served with walnut ice cream and blackcurrant fig compote.
