Even if your not hungry walk into this old house/hotel/post office (built in 726 A.D!!!!) just to…read moretake it in. The art collection alone is worth a stop. Though if you are hungry sit down and buckle up because the portions are big, home crafted and delicious.
Zams is a very small place in Austria, and the Post-Gasthof Gemse (named after the cutest mountain goat you have ever seen) is one of the only authentic Austrian restaurants around. And it WILL be full. No reservations unless your party is a substantial number, so call, get an idea of a good time to go then just wait if you have to, there is enough to entertain you in the hallway that you wont even realize the time.
Order a soup. They have all the Austrian specialties: Frittatensuppe, Knödelsuppe, Kurbis soup, all fabulous.
Everyone was ordering the Schnitzel - nach Wiener Art - but I decided to try their house made Frischkasse with Schweinemedaillons and Polenta. Delicious. Everything we tried (all soups and Rinderfleisch, Schnitzel, und Schweinemedaillons) was very tasty. But because the portions were huge we had NO ROOM for dessert. That is something that rarely happens!
Gemse is more than worth a visit. Make sure you read the history on the menu and enjoy imagining all the activity this house has seen.
