Dresden Restaurants

It was about 2 in the afternoon and we were very hungry and walking on Münzgasse strasse we saw many restaurants to have lunch and we chose the austrailian restaurant ayers rock. We must to admit that we did not eat australian food but the one we ate was delightfull. The staff were very nice and the service very good.

Eran las 2 de la tarde y teniamos muuucha hambre y andando por Münzgasse strasse vimos varios restaurantes donde elegir y finalmente comimos en el restaurante australiano ayers rock. Admitimos que no comimos comida australiada pero lo que comimos estaba delicioso. El personal era muy amable y el servicio excelente.

Favorite Dish: We had the chicken salad and the vegetarian lasagne and it was delecious.

Very nice place with good (sometimes even live) music and Irish Beer. Also there is an opportunity to play dartsn or billiard.
I think that it is one of the best places in Dresden to spend evening.

Favorite Dish: Kilkenny :)
0,5lof it costs near 3 euros.

It's not too easy to find a good restaurant in busy Dresden on a Saturday night. We were already searching for quite a while and were sick of rude waitresses and nice ones shaking their heads with sympathies. Brauhaus Watzke, on the new town side of the river, was our last hope. We got their last table! From the outside this place doesn't look too inviting actually. But there were quite a few features which we enjoyed.

There was a piano player playing all night, he had a strange song collection but it was fun. I nearly choked on my chicken though when he started to play the Smurfs song ;)

The most spectacular feature of this restaurant, however, is the bell. Inside the restaurant there's one of the bells of Frauenkirche. It was made for the rebuilt church but then it had a small mistake in the sounds it makes so it was brought here. It rings every hour.

Favorite Dish: Shortly after the wall came down a guy from East Germany told me that a "Goldbroiler" (the Eastern term for a cooked chicken) is nowhere near a standard "west chicken" when it comes to size and quality. Back then I laughed. In Dresden - 16.5 years after the wall came down - I had my first gold broiler. And believe it or not, this guy was right. It was fantastic!!!

The Scheune Café is an outdoor beer garden in the new part of Dresden...a look that's completely German with a menu that's right out of India. It's part of the Scheune.org cultural center.

Favorite Dish: Find a table (easier said than done), then order drinks and dinner at the booth. Carry your drinks back and your dinner will be brought to you.

The Sophienkeller is probably the first tourist restaurant stop in Dresden - huge cellar restaurant with strolling minstrels and other characters out of the last few centuries. Although it's a kitch palace (called Dresden's most beautiful vaulted restaurant), the food is actually very good.

This restaurant just happened to be down the street from where we were staying, so we decided to drop in before some sightseeing. The waitress suggested I order schnitzel, which I did, and which was delicious! Cozy, comfortable outdoor seating and good German beer too!

Favorite Dish: Try the schnitzel for an authentic German experience.

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.

Favorite Dish: Goulash

Ontop of a hill, at the end of an appearently forgotten-by-the-god street you can find Luisenhof, a good restaurant with several interesting german courses.
The great view from the terrace !!!! Check the dedicated travelogue 'from Luisenhof'.

Favorite Dish: I went for asparagus even if the season was almost already closed ... mmmmm ... lecker !!!
