Best German food near Dresden, Saxony, Germany
Find out what German restaurants to try in Dresden. On the banks of the lovely Elbe River, the German city of Dresden is lush and green, filled with forests and gardens and parks. The city is rich with cultural and artistic history; the great operatic composer Wilhelm Wagner debuted a number of works here in the 1800s and, today, an independent light opera company keeps the classical art form modern and fresh. Culture vultures will love the Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister and Grünes Gewölbe museums, and architecture buffs will salivate over the mélange of styles reflected in the cityscape.

We found this restaurant to be extremely pleasant, with very tasty and different food. Small little house, but well worth a visit. Even better for us, we had the choice of large or small portions. I would highly recommend. More local than touristy.

We had lunch here--the bratwurst with sauerkraut was OK, the chicken with rice was good, and the sauerbraten with potato dumplings was excellent. Service was good and the decor is fun.

After suffering through many of the tourist places sporting outrageous prices for below-par food, this was a relieve and a treat. The food has a distinct German style, but without the commonness and heavyness that put me off many German restaurants. A bit pricey, but overall highly recommended.

The restaurant is within walking distance (a 10-15 minute walk), somewhat outside the center, in an old building. Behind the building is an attractive courtyard with terrace. We have been here once for lunch and once for dinner. Both times we enjoyed the simple but very tasty dishes. The kitchen works with fresh products and beautiful ingredients. The menu is aimed at vegetarians and vegans; for meat eaters there are only 1 or 2 dishes.

I thoroughly recommend this very friendly and very interesting restaurant. I had two really excellent meals here during recent Dresden trip. The host was genuinely warm and friendly. Spetsle or Swabian noodles outstanding. It's a great restaurant - stylish too in lovely courtyard.

We had two great lunches in this friendly restaurant during our stay in Dresden. After disappointing experience in several restaurants in the historical center of Dresden, we were so happy to find this place! Located in Dresden's Neue Stadt across the river, it a just a 15 minute walk from the historical center. The trip is well worth the effort, as the restaurant serves good innovative food made by a motivated chef from fresh ingredients. Service was friendly and attentive, and we enjoyed lunch on the sunny terrace. Check first the daily list as it contains season's ingredients.

This was recommended so we went before our walking tour. Martin Luther church is visible from the restaurant. A seat outside involves and we had to cover our juice beverage pronto. We ordered the Hearty Breakfast: scrambled eggs, piled high w bacon and sausages. 3 pieces of toast w a dish of butter. No jam offered. Tasty food. Our waitress was detached and impersonable. Perhaps because she was managing the entire outside by herself. A nice place to sit but the sun does come up and is quite hot. Bathroom inside is clean and easy to get to. No stairs. A small park nearby w questionable clientele.Thank you for visiting us at Lloyd's.We were very happy about your rating.We wish you a nice time in Germany.Best regards, Your Lloyds Team.

Fabulous restaurant! Itâs located outside the old town, but thereâs a tram stop a 5-minute walk away. The food was superb. The iced lemon yoghurt soup was amazing. So was the amuse bouche, which was a wonderful avocado-infused sour cream concoction served over tomato bread. I loved my pork and octopus (which included a delicious pumpernickel paté topped with a sun-dried tomato glaze). The octopus, by the way, was the best Iâve ever had. My wifeâs guinea fowl was perfectly cooked. The sour cream rhubarb ice cream was heavenly. This was one of the best two or three meal we had during our month-long stay in Germany (and one of the others has a Michelin star). The chef is delightfully creativeâwe think heâs going to be a star himself.We ate outside, on a warm summer evening, which was very pleasant. The wait staff was informative, and steered us to excellent but reasonably priced wines, which paired well with our mains. I couldnât recommend Stresa more highlyâit was a real high point of our trip.

A lot of homeland insists of our concept. Marcus Blonkowski uses in his kitchen mostly handpicked seasonal products of the Saxon region. Therefore we are closely working together with the fish farm in Moritzburg or the trout farm âAm Lachsbachâ, in Saxon

The restaurant is in a basement which offers an unique atmosphere. The servers spoke English plus had menus in English. Compared to the giant portions you receive in the United States, the portions were small but the right amount. We throughly enjoyed each course. Dear M9286PVbriant,thank you very much for your kind review on tripadvisor.You are right, that our restaurant is located in a basement, service is english speaking and also our menus are translated into english.However the dishes shown in the pictures you uploaded are not served in our restaurant. Maybe you mixed sth up? We would be truely happy, if you could change the pictures. Save travels and all the best, Marcus & Nicole Blonkowski
