The best meal we had in Dresden. Very practical outdoor biergarten, serving hearty dishes like pork…read moreknuckle or grilled sausage. We shared a half pork knuckle with a side of (oil-based) potato salad, and it was plenty for two people. The space is divided into an outdoor biergarten with a cafeteria-style serving area, and an indoor restaurant. The restaurant itself is a historic structure, but the menu and vibe did not stand out to us, and so we sat outside and ordered from the cafe. We sat in the biergarten, which has a gorgeous view of the Loschwitz (Blue Wonder) Bridge

This is my go to place in Dresden for some good German food. It has a great Biergarten in the…read moresummer with a small cafeteria style area to get small things. The Zwickelbeir they make is great and the staff is usually quite nice and on top of things in the main restaurant. Knowing that having a large restaurant and cooking can take time they give you a basket of bread to tide you over which can be a lifesaver. The food is generally quite good but it isn't always consistent. Once I ordered a salad with chicken breast and it came out absolutely swimming in dressing, even more so than usual for Dresden restaurants, and the chicken breast was actually a thigh and still on the bone. I sent the salad back asking for dressing on the side hoping they would notice that the salad was completely wrong but they just made another salad and put the exact same chicken back on it. While the person with me ordered the same thing and had blood on his chicken he got a whole new salad but still with on the bone chicken. I suppose we could have said something about that but it seemed an obvious mistake for "Salat "Caesar" Romana- und Eisbergsalat mit Parmesan, Kräutercroutons und gebratener Hähnchenbrust" Other times the food is wonderful. I can recommend the Rostbrätl and Lammfilet salat above all and hope that you go on a night where one of the good cooks is there, which is most nights.
