Italien Village is a great restaurant and cafe close to the Semperoper and directely at the river Elbe. In former times "The Italian Village" was the area ,where the workers from Italy used to have their small huts , while working as sculpturers, masons or painters at one of the many churches and buildings, that tourists of today will admire, when coming to Dresden. Today these huts do not exist anymore, instead there is another great building with various different restaurants inside. On my 2nd pic. you may see the building of Italian Village behind the monument, and Semperoper of course.
I had Handkäse - a stinky cheese, pickeled in spices and herbs and served with salads, bread and butter. As a drink I had a "Duckstein" - beer, a speciality of the Holsten brewery. That beer is almost red and tasted really great. Prices are a bit higher than normally in Dresden, BUT still a lot cheaper than in places like Munich or Köln.

 Thomas, Sabs, Caro, and Antji join us for a brew by richiecdisc Though this pales in comparison to a great Bavarian beer garden and is perhaps not as authentic as Brauhaus am Waldschlossen just up river, you can’t argue with its scenic setting nor its great prices considering its location. The bench seating could use some shady chestnut trees rather than unnatural umbrella covering but you are looking across the Elbe at the Dresden skyline so one can’t complain.
Food is quite good and reasonably priced with many German standbys served in a canteen fashion much like their Bavarian counterparts. In fact, I'd say it is one of the better value places to eat in all of Dresden and the view is about as good as you'll find too. Oh and Radeberger Pils and Kusovice Dark on tap doesn't hurt, even available in one liter mugs!

Pf. Molkerei dates back to the year 1892 and all of the walls are covered by beautiful tiles. Last summer I saw in a brochure this lovely dairy, where you may also sit in this side-room and enjoy some Buttermilk and cheese, and so I booked a tourbus, that would stop there in order to take a picture and taste some of their food and have a buttermilk.... I entered the shop and in that very moment the lady at the counter started to scream NO Photographs !!! I simply turned around and gave up my plans to buy anything there and had some coffee somewhere else... I did not disturb anyone BUT had the feeling, that lots of customers in the shop were rather disturbed by that sceaming lady than by my camera. They had a sign at their door about photography, BUT the door was open, so I did not see it... In December 2004 I returned shortly before 06.00p.m. and took my pictures legally from OUTside of the shop. And I also got the legal advice by a VT-friend : as long as you make a picture of a place that is open to the public and you stand with your camera on a public ground, you may take that photo without any problem. Of course you may not look into a private window and take pics ! If the Molkerei wants to prevent me from taking pics, they could have curtains at their windows... :-))
Friends reading my pages regularily will know that I am a big fan of all kinds of cheese and even drink a lot of buttermilk... I would be the perfect customer for Pf.... Molkerei, BUT I will certainly never enter this place to buy anything. I even would never print out their full name here on VT...

Wettiner Keller was my favorite cafe at Bruehlsche terrasse, maybe simply because of that great building you may see on my picture, but once that you have some icecream on a hot summerday there, you might return for more again and again. Brühlsche Terrasse in Dresden is the wide boulevard high above the river Elbe, where deep below all of the steamships are docked. This boulevard starts next to the Schloß and ends at the Academy . It is maybe 12 meters wide and includes trees, benches and garden-cafes and -restaurants. Wettiner Keller is open: Tue-Sat : 06.00p.m. till midnight
It was a hot summerday in july 2004 and I had a delicious icecream-cup with fruits and liquor. This garden-restaurant is part of the Dresden-Hilton and a really nice place to relax ! NO need to dress up formally !! Leave a Comment

This restaurant is well known among the locals for excellent dining. Make sure to reserve a table on weekends! On Mother's Day the family and me went there by car w/o reservation and we almost didn't get a table. The hotel has a charming setting in a green valley in the outskirts of the city. The building from the 19th century was originally a pasta factory. It's beautifully restored and transformed into a small and charming hotel with restaurant. The staff was very attentive, friendly, quick, not in the slightest snobby.
First we got a 'greeting from the kitchen' - home made egg salad with dark bread and butter - delicious. Then we had a green salad with grilled pieces of paprika, filled with ricotta, in a tzatziki sauce. Yummy! The green salad was not just plain lettuce and what you usually get - they had added some really tasty - almost spicey - stuff. Main course was Argentinian beef steak with pasta (filled with ricotta) and French beans. I had ordered my steak medium and it was perfect. My parents liked their steak well done and it was exactly right for them, too. We had a red house wine from Sicily (a Salice Salentino) which was excellent. The bill came to 80 Euro with tip, which was okay I thought. I'd eat there anytime again, preferrably on a weekday when it is a bit quieter.

Pulverturm an der Frauenkirche is another garden-restaurant that I tried once for lunch, because their garden-restaurant is a lot more informal than Coselpalais, although they are inside the same building. The restaurant inside looks also great with old vaults,and they have different small rooms - see their webpage below ! But on a hot summerday it is great to sit outside under the umbrella and dine with a cannon... There stood once an old powder-tower (Pulverturm) that was taken away in order to be able to build Coselpalais. The cannon shown on my picture is a replica of a cannon used by saxons in 1686 with a calibre of 24 pounds and a pipe-length of 2,46meters. The diameter of the muzzle is 15,1 cm The Saxon army had 72 of such cannons !
I had a salad with fillet of turkey, I do not remember the price, but it was about average for Dresden and a lot cheaper than Coselpalais in the same building, but facing the other side.

 House by bugulma I don't remember the name of the restaurant. I can say that the building has a name "Italian house" because of workers from Italy lived in the square when the Cathedral was built. The house has a cafe and a restaurant.

When you are looking for a really special place for your festivities or maybe you want to celebrate a special event, Coselpalais might be your best choice ! Palais Cosel dates back to 1744, but it was destroyed and rebuilt again in 1760 by Carl Friedrich August von Cosel ( son of August the strong and countess Cosel, who was held in prison for 49 years in castle Stolpen). The fully restored building of today is mainly used for bureaus, but the Coselpalais Grandcafe & Restaurant has a really beautiful garden-restaurant in the innercourt, a lovely foyer and a big hall used for special festivities . They have a big menu of fine specialities ! Coselpalais Grandcafe & Restaurant is open daily 10.00a.m. - 01.00a.m.
I spent several days in Dresden in summer 2004 and so I had some coffee and cake there one day, as for dinner and lunch prices are higher than normally and as a single traveller it is always hard to get a table just for my own in a place like this.

Schloss Albrechtsberg - the name comes from Prince Albrecht, brother of the prussian Kaiser Wilhelm I. He had this castle built in late classic-style between 1851 and 1854 by Adolph Lohse / a student of Schinkel. The castle park is open to the public and a part of the castle is used as a restaurant, mainly for special events and festivities The Opening times of Prinzenkeller are Monday+Tuesday: 8.30a.m. - 02.30p.m. Wednesday-Friday: 8.30a.m. -midnight Saturday+Sunday: 11.00a.m. - midnight
I had a cake and espresso there in summer 2004 and it was nice to see, that there is a HOGA - Hotelfachschule and the students of this hotelschool served in kitchen and service. (It reminded me of my time in Hotelmanagement-school of Vienna) Leave a Comment Theme: LocalComparison: more expensive than averagePhone: 0351 - 216 75 45Directions: Prinzenkeller is Bautzener Strasse 130, inside the castle Albrechtsberg, there are also lots of parking-spaces around.Website: http://www.prinzenkeller.de/ Other Contact: Fax: 0351 8985556
