Augustiner an der Frauenkirche in Dresden

The sausages are a real work of art (be sure to peel them before eating). The beer is also excellent. They also sell a half-loaf of the unique Haxen.

A very nice restaurant with a beer garden right in front of the Frauenkirche. The food tastes excellent and the service is attentive and always with the guest. For me one of the best and most beautiful restaurants in Dresden.

We ate here twice and it was excellent!!

Very authentic local food in a beautiful atmosphere. Interior is modern but following a traditional german restaurant interior design. Waiters wearing authentic clothes. While being in Dresden this is the place where to try local food.

Good location and plenty of space despite the crowds. Employees wear atmospheric outfits. We ordered two dishes, a baby snack and a non-alcoholic beer. After about 10 minutes, one dish and a snack arrived. We waited another 20 minutes for the second course without success. In the meantime, the waiter took away a beer glass and one plate, but he was not interested in the fact that I was still waiting for my dish. After a long wait, we managed to call the waiter and it turned out that the second course had not been ordered. The food was quite tasty, but the service was poor.

The food was very tasty in a great location! However, it was very loud in the vaulted cellar - but that didn't detract from the experience. We'll definitely be back!

The food is excellent and at a good price in this location, the service is very pleasant🙏

In general, the food comes out quickly and the overall atmosphere is very nice. I used the 2nd floor and it was nice and clean. I ate Haksen and schnitzel. The skin of Haksen was a bit tough, but the schnitzel felt like pork cutlet, so it was easy to eat. Especially the potato cucumber salad? The same thing is so delicious. I recommend eating that!!

Despite the restaurant being full, the staff was friendly and the food we ordered was served very quickly.

Very good food. The portions are really big. Delicious schnitzel 20 euros, half a pork shank 20 inches for 2 people 30 euros. There is a waiter who speaks great Polish. I highly recommend it.

Good atmosphere, good beer, but can improve the menu, including more traditional German options and options such as red meats. They need to improve the service a lot, given the high price for the dishes offered (29.50 euros for a fried salmon fillet, with asparagus and boiled potatoes).

Overpriced tourist trap. After asking several times, we were finally able to order. The schnitzel was ok but manageable, with fried potatoes that were sometimes as thick as a whole potato. The Kaiserschmarren was a disgrace, neither fluffy nor tasting of anything other than sugar. All of this at overpriced tourist prices.

Cozy, friendly service, normal price-performance ratio.

Great food, very high quality veal schnitzel with asparagus, Drinks top service top Thank you very much for the great food

Very tasty beer from a wooden barrel!

We were in the basement with 6 people on May 3rd, 2025. For example, a soup was ordered, another a sausage salt and a Kaiserschmarrn each and everything was brought at the same time. What's the point of that, don't you think here? We were pissed off and had the Kaiserschmarrn go back because we wanted it as dessert (OK, we didn't explicitly emphasize that when we ordered, but you can imagine, as far as that's possible, that you don't want to eat soup or sausage salad and Kaiserschmarrn at the same time). Less than 5 minutes later the dessert was brought to us again, I have never experienced such poor organization, impossible!

Very good food and generous portions

Service is really great here! We just ordered and the drinks came after 2-5 minutes 👍🏻👍🏻. We didn't have any food, but it still looked delicious!

The quality of the food is very good and is in no way inferior to Bavaria. Staff is international, friendly and well-groomed. The location right next to the Frauenkirche was great. It invites you to linger. Of course it's mass production but the quality of the food definitely doesn't suffer. Clear recommendation!

Terrible service, we waited for 20 minutes to order and all waiters were chatting and ignoring us. Prices are way expansive for this price. When we approached a waiter to share feedback, he just passed by ignoring us! Support other business with your money

Just chill guys, you can ping 3 waiters and still be if pred to make an order

After 20 minutes there was still no service, I left again.

A must in Dresden. Top location, friendly staff, delicious food and lots of beer.......

A nice place with a garden. Service without reservations. The food is good and in good quantity. I recommend

I expected something good, as you can tell from the reviews, but I didn't expect the food to be so good! The meatballs were perfectly seasoned, the puree was delicious and the vegetables tasted wonderful. The taste buds were going crazy. Very nice service!! The employees dress in Bavarian style, which adds to the atmosphere. I will definitely come back!!

Everything is very tasty and delicious, the place is cozy. Unfortunately, the waiting time is very long, the waiters are constantly "swimming".

Haksen is delicious and sausage is average Beer mixed with lemonade is the best

Nice atmosphere, delicious beer, food is rather average. Service: If I order 0.5l of beer, there should be 0.5l in the glass and not 0.5cm below the calibration mark.

Despite the high demand, fast service and a short waiting time until the schnitzel was on the table. Schnitzel as a schnitzel should be. Thanks to the kitchen and the chef.

The photos are from when we were already eating. My wife had an asparagus salad and half a grilled corn chicken. The salad was really great, very tasty and varied, but unfortunately the grilled chicken was downright bad! A wholesale chicken, dry, chemical and “imitation” in taste. Really can't describe it any other way. Such a shame and so easy to improve. The atmosphere was very pleasant and the waiter attentive and humorous.

The Augustiner restaurant in Dresden impresses with its fantastic location right next to the Frauenkirche. You can hardly dine more centrally in the old town of Dresden! The view and the lively hustle and bustle all around are a real plus. The Bavarian food is solid and home-style. If you like hearty cuisine, you'll get your money's worth here. The portions are decent and the prices are reasonable for the top location. Of course, the Bavarian classics are particularly recommended in combination with a freshly tapped Augustiner beer. An ideal place to refresh yourself while strolling through the city.

Vielen Dank für den tollen Service und das Super Essen. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Kinder und Erwachsene waren gleichermaßen zufrieden.

Pathetic for a Bavarian restaurant. The sausage salad contained Regensburger, but the broth was mainly water. There was no pepper, the onions were in a few small cubes, as were the cucumbers. This was by far the worst sausage salad in the country.

Where is the other half? Very disappointing Kaiserschmarren. Compared to the picture half of it was missing. Very unfortunate expectations management. While the taste was good we felt cheated. Also service in the downstairs area was not attentive at all. Empty glasses all over the place, took ages for someone to get the orders, the food was brought to the wrong table, no check-in on quality etc. Seemed like ground floor was more buzzing and also better service.

This is the second time we visit this restaurant and again it was a very enjoyable visit. This time, asparagus was in season and they were a great addition to the schnitzel. However, the potato salad served as a side dish was excellent! 🐾🐶 The place is dog-friendly

Visité Augustinerbrau para celebrar el cumpleaños de mi esposa y la comida y el vino era excelente. Ella disfrutó el asado de cerdo y yo el schnitzel, y luego un excelente pastel de chocolate. La única desventaja era el servicio lento, pero tuvimos un tiempo muy agradable.

Reservé la cena para 25 miembros de un grupo inglés, de 70 años o más, que había traído a Dresde. El Augustiner acordó que podíamos pedir y pagar individualmente y, a pesar del tamaño del grupo, no era necesario elegir nuestras comidas con antelación. La noche fue un éxito total. Nuestras mesas estaban en el sótano, donde tuvimos un excelente servicio del camarero Johnny. La comida era de un alto nivel (aunque las porciones eran demasiado grandes para algunos! ). El vino sajón, que mi grupo no sabía que existía, y la cerveza bávara fueron muy disfrutados. Al final de la comida Johnny produjo eficientemente 25 billetes individuales. No creo que la noche haya ido mejor.

As a Dresdener, it is always an experience to dine at the Frauenkirche. You meet people from all over the world. It's also delicious and the view of the Frauenkirche is fantastic. I was happy to follow the recommendation of the three types of dumplings. It was super tasty. Thank you!

Amazing food! Best Schnitzel ever!!!!

Wie immer ein Erlebnis, obwohl die Karte mehr vorgaukelt als da ist 😉 Spargelsalat aus, Maibock annonciert, aber die Bierkutsche braucht halt zwischen der bayerischen Provinz und der Sächsischen Residenz! Trotzdem eine gute Lokalität, besonders durch das überaus freundliche Personal! Ein toller Abend!

5 stars – A real insider tip in the middle of Dresden! The Augustiner right next to the Frauenkirche is a perfect location to stop off - whether after a stroll through the city or simply for a cozy meal. The beer comes to the table wonderfully cool and freshly tapped, the food is served quickly and, above all, hot. Where can you still get a schnitzel or fried potatoes fried in butter that taste so delicious and homemade? Friendly service, rustic atmosphere and the best location – absolute recommendation!

A fantastic evening with good food. When the weather was good, we sat outside so we could enjoy the impressive atmosphere. The food is great and typically Bavarian - rich and sufficient portions. Plus a good beer (also has good non-alcoholic drinks!). You can really enjoy it here, right next to the Frauenkirche. A must-have.

Great cult restaurant, beautifully Bavarian with wooden planks, service super attentive and special requests were no problem

The beer was very good. The service was very friendly. Unfortunately, the schnitzel was completely over salted and hardly edible. Unfortunately I can't recommend this. Unless you just want to drink beer.

I was really annoyed that when I ordered only Saxon Sauerbraten, I was given a version with extremely dry pork. When I asked, I was annoyed and told that both variants were possible. Maybe but then it should be mentioned on the menu! Because setting the high price of beef sauerbraten and then serving pork is simply cheeky. Especially since not everyone eats pork.

Freundliches und bemühtes Personal, tolle Location. Leider war der Spargel ( Ostersonntag) bei beiden Spargeltellern nicht gar gekocht und bitter. Schade. Als gefragt wurde wie das Essen war, gab es auf die Antwort „nicht so toll“ keine Reaktion des Personales. Deswegen nur drei Sterne. Mit der Bitte um Besserung, ansonsten seid ihr nämlich echt gut.

Food was great, bit exoensive, 2 meals, 2 beers 50 euro

You should book the table in advance

We were there spontaneously, the service was friendly at the reception and then led us to the table. The order was taken quickly by my colleague. Even though it was very busy, we got our food within 15-20 minutes. My stuffed schnitzel was super juicy and the breading was crispy. The fries are a little crispy 👍😋but so delicious The salmon fillet tasted great and the salad with a wonderful dressing 😊 We'd love to come by again🙂👍🙏🏻🚗

Short detour for lunch. Food itself was very good and generous! In my opinion, the price management was a bit excessive and the service (it was generally quite busy, yes) made us wait from time to time, but that shouldn't be taken into account in the rating. The ambience is of course excellent, right in the old town!

Nice ambience, we sat outside and then the heaters came on after sunset. Look comfortable. Prices depending on the location directly at the foot of the Frauenkirche. Service ok, food delicious.

Food is good Serve name is Peter He was bad attitude. Avoid him.

Ate and drank very well, prices correspond to the service. Considering our selection of dishes, they could even be described as cheap.

And delicious food and many ... beers!

The newly opened Restaurant 1328 at the Frauenkirche by Augustiner on March 19, 2025 is an enrichment in terms of ambience, service and quality of the food. Anyone looking for a change from the usual excellent Augustiner beer restaurant will be rewarded just a few steps away. The price-performance ratio is maintained. And of course the Augustiner beer is also available here for the same price. The atmosphere is dignified, there are many places to feel good. Guests will find many attractive seating areas spread over 3 floors. On the 2nd floor you get a great view of the Frauenkirche. May the restaurant continue to be a good meeting place for Dresden for a long time.

The waiter made a fool of me just because I informed them that the other guests had been waiting for their payment for 20 minutes. Nooooooo I'm coming here again. The southern waiter told me to pay and keep my mouth shut. If I can do better I should come and work 👌🏽 perfect service person

Nice view from the terrace of the Frauenkirche and the forecourt. Service was very good and food and drinks were delicious

A recommended restaurant! It was delicious!! Schwein Hakse was also delicious!!

Great place Good food, but it's worth asking if the waiter understood your orders. Another disadvantage is the lack of contactless payment options

It was friendly, clean, and the food and beer were all delicious! The food also came out relatively quickly. It's nice that if you order beer or food, it comes out quickly🍻👍🤍 Be sure to drink dark beer here! The scent is different🖤

Special thanks to our waitress Sarah and kind regards from table 104 🍷

I had a wonderful dinner at Augustiner an der Frauenkirche during my stay in Dresden. I ordered the salmon salad for my main course – it was fresh, flavorful, and very satisfying. I paired it with a local beer that was smooth and refreshing. The evening atmosphere was cozy and inviting, with warm lighting and a lively yet relaxed vibe. The location next to the Frauenkirche made the whole experience even more special. A great spot for a tasty meal and a true taste of Dresden in the evening!

Horribly long waiting time... unable to serve the salad beforehand... that's what should happen to German vacationers in Austria!!!

Well-known, rustic brewery with very good service. There could be a little more space between the tables or in the aisles, but as is often the case, the greatest possible profit is probably the reason for these conditions.

Very welcoming place where you can feel comfortable. The food was very tasty and also well seasoned. The service was also great. Waiter was very nice and friendly. Overall, a great shop where you can spend the evening.

Very tasty food, nice atmosphere and good service! Thank you!

The Augustine dark beer (Heller) is slightly bitter in the mouth but immediately turns to sweet wheat aroma. The German sausage is classic and delicious. The boneless pig's trotters have crispy skin and thick meat. They are just right with sauerkraut!

I was at the Augustiner at the Frauenkirche and was looked after very well by Mr. Leo. He was quick and responded to all requests. I haven't enjoyed such friendly staff in a long time. Big praise to Mr. Leo and the team!

Best Bavarian Restaurant and Best Beer in Town I've been going to the Augustiner at the Frauenkirche for over 15 years, and I have to admit that the food didn't really impress me in the early years. But as a Munich native, I was naturally very happy about the opening of an Augustiner brewery restaurant. After all, Edelstoff and Augustiner Hell have been among my favorite beers since the late 1970s. Nowadays, you can also enjoy really good food at the Augustiner at the Frauenkirche, even if some dishes don't always quite match the original. But that's ultimately a matter of taste and doesn't detract from the quality. Despite its prime location right next to the Frauenkirche, the Augustiner isn't just visited by tourists but also enjoys numerous regulars, so a reservation is always recommended. As a single guest, you should expect to be assigned a seat at the bar. In Bavaria, it's common to sit together with strangers at large tables, which has often led to interesting and entertaining conversations. This is rare in Saxony and not very popular, which is why guests are usually seated separately. The move to the renovated premises only took place two years ago due to the need for renovation of the old restaurant. Therefore, the patina of a pub is still missing, but the decor and the terrace with its classic seating are well-executed. I probably don't need to emphasize that one of the best beers in the world is served here. It's especially recommended when it comes from a wooden barrel, which is served here (almost) daily from 6:00 PM, but only while supplies last. The strong beer for Lent ("Maximator") was only available in bottles – serving it on tap is unlikely to be worthwhile outside of Bavaria. The wine selection is limited, but typical of a brewery restaurant. The Grüner Veltliner, as an all-purpose wine, is certainly drinkable. One or two more white wines by the glass in this price range would be desirable, however. There are plenty of decent and affordable Austrian and Franconian wines to choose from. The menu offers a very good selection. Bavarian pub-goers might miss their beef tartare and the obligatory roast beef with onions, but everyone should be able to find something to their liking on the extensive standard menu, which is supplemented by seasonal dishes. Price-wise, the Saxon Augustiner is slightly higher than its sister restaurant and the main restaurant on Neuhauser Straße in Munich (roast pork DD: €19.90, M: €18.50; Edelstoff DD: €5.50, M: €4.55), but this is acceptable. The service is friendly and attentive, and complaints (the wrong soup) are dealt with promptly and without fuss. The liver dumpling soup was very intense in color and flavor, so the broth exactly met my expectations – no additional seasoning was necessary. Only the dumplings seemed a bit too firm and dry to me. Adding a bit more dumpling bread or shortening the cooking time might help. The "Stuffed Schnitzel" was a visual delight, and the taste was beyond reproach. Even in the few places where the filling didn't reach, the meat was in excellent condition: tender and by no means dry. A stronger and more substantial cheese would have made the dish almost perfect. The extremely tasty potato salad was also nothing to be ashamed of. I would order both the soup and the schnitzel again. Since not only the quality of the carefully prepared dishes but also the portion sizes are just right, I consider the price-performance ratio to be well-balanced. I will definitely be coming here often and can wholeheartedly recommend a visit to the Augustiner at the Frauenkirche.

Great restaurant, nice ambience and a great location right next to the Frauenkirche, friendly and attentive staff, what more do you need

Everything was great, except the air in the room. We were about 18 people in a booth, with another 5 people at the next table. The waitress should have opened a window, which we did as quickly as the table of five left. Nevertheless, the rest was great, the food was awesome. Also the price. We'd love to come back. ☝🏻☝🏻☝🏻

Very very tasty, but you should order in advance.

Great cuisine, great service and lovely ambience. Had the pleasure of sitting in the bay window 👍🏻

Ordered white sausage and beer, loved them both! !

Only one waiter outside on Saturday evening We passed the table three times, took the order and then brought the wrong drink.

Like all Augustiner, rustic, large and friendly staff. Always only drink 2-3 beers, the food is equally good in all of them. So as always, come back

Delicious food and great beer. Friendly service. We'll be back!

Super tasty roasted crust, friendly staff, good beer, all in all just good

Our first time there was dinner at the Augustiner an der Frauenkirche. With a reservation we got a table with a view of the Dresden Frauenkirche. After a few minutes our orders were taken and promptly brought to the table. The food was really very tasty. We'd love to come back here next time.

Brilliant... were very enthusiastic. Great ambience, nice service...and it was delicious too. We would love to come back.

A brilliant restaurant! Enjoy your meal. Good beer, nice, quick service. See you soon!

Fast service, delicious and affordable food, top beer!

We had Pork Knuckle €27.50 …,very good! Saxon Potato Soup €6.90 … hotter would be better, extra Sauerkraut … good! 2 Beer.

Everything is delicious and served fairly quickly.

If you are a party of one, the only option is sitting at the bar (which was not wide). After I declined, I was told to go across the way to a "sister" restaurant of theirs. Sorry, but if you do not provide a table for one here, why would I expect a table for one there? Found a restaurant nearby that happily provided me with a small table for dinner.

The service is back in the hotel, which I think is GREAT. So this time, full marks. The staff were super attentive and served guests very quickly, just as they should. The food was also delicious, a huge compliment to the kitchen.

The Augustiner is always worth a visit. There are delicious beers. The team is very accommodating. Kudos for that. We'll definitely be back.

Not typically Saxon, but a typical brewery right next to the Frauenkirche. Service was good and food was quick. The roast was a bit dry and unfortunately we were seated a bit awkwardly. At first the window next to us seemed to be a window, but over time it was opened as a door to the outdoor area and used again and again by the employees. Otherwise everything is good.

The food and service was amazing. the server was so nice. ask for Elias

Got the pork knuckle, it was very good. Friendly staff and atmosphere. I would recommend it if you are interested in a safe bet for German style food

Have a beer and enjoy the spaces, that's the max here. They don't know how to cook, the broth and the duck was a big shame. They shouldn't take money for that but apologize. Beer below average. The company did not live up to expectations..

Waiters here are energetic and helpful introducing their best cuisine to customers. We enjoyed the best crispy pork kunckle and best beer here- my husband loves Augustiner Helles even he never like any beer.

The presentation is great, I think it's a good Bavarian restaurant in the middle of Dresden. I had crusted roast, my friend had Nuremberger and we also had potato soup and cheese soup. The food was very tasty. The service was friendly and accommodating.

To be honest I don't expected it to be that good..

Great restaurant, great food (stuffed schnitzel), friendly service. All in all, it was a great evening. I can only recommend it 👍

As a native of Munich, the bar is of course very high here. I had the beer goulash which was quite good, but it was more like a goulash soup as there was far too much sauce which was far too runny. And the bread dumplings were far too compact and far too small. It still tasted good. But the highlight here is the beer anyway and the ambience is great too. I would come again.

Great food and beer right next to the main square in Dresden. Really enjoyed the Hefeweizen and dunkel, my wife enjoyed the selection of German wine.

Very nicely located Bavarian restaurant in the middle of Dresden. Excellent Bavarian cuisine. The Käsespätzle are better than in Munich. Very friendly staff with incredibly fast service. Another positive thing to mention is that there is little fluctuation in staff, which indicates a good working atmosphere. Why do so many regular guests probably keep coming back? It's a dream to sit on the terrace, the vaulted cellar conveys authentic Bavarian cosiness. A new vaulted cellar will soon be added. The highlight is the space in the bay window on the first floor with a fantastic view of the cathedral. The portions are large and inexpensive. Excellent beer service, and the Augustiner beer speaks for itself. Really a place where the Munich cosiness has returned and invites you to linger and have a communicative exchange. I always enjoy coming there, even as a Munich resident

We were very directly asked to pay the bill and leave the restaurant because our table had been reserved for the next guests without our knowledge. Very cheeky treatment, we will definitely not be coming back and can only advise against the Augustiner. Tourist trap with mass processing at the Frauenkirche.

Very recommended as a typical Bavarian place, with service in traditional costume and very friendly, very assorted menu with many dishes. I recommend booking and it's always full and with huge waiting lists. The beer list is excellent and very extensive.
