You're right on your second option.
First player arrives at an Inn, draws N+1 meal cards. Chooses one, pays for it, and then places the other N cards on to that open slot (face down)
When the next player arrives at the end, they pick up this hand of N cards to choose their meal from, then place the N-1 cards back into that slot.
... and continue until all players have reached the inn and chosen a meal. Any remaining cards (there will be at least 1) are then placed on the bottom of the draw pile, before the last player at the Inn starts on the next day's journey.

The rules say otherwise:
"Place unpurchased Meal cards on the bottom of the appropriate pile."
